Operation Underground

Operation Underground is a small, well-regarded coffee spot at 6 Bideford St, Torquay, one street back from the Esplanade. It is a local favourite built around specialty espresso and cold brew, and it is genuinely set up for dogs in its undercover outdoor area.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the undercover outdoor seating, which keeps you and your dog covered in wet or hot weather. Staff are known for being good with dogs, and the layout makes it easy to settle a dog on lead by your side. Bring your own water bowl to be safe at a small venue.

Good to know. The draw is the coffee: high-quality espresso and cold brew, with friendly, personal service. It is a compact, casual spot popular with locals and their dogs rather than a sit-down food cafe.

Getting there. Street parking is available on Bideford Street and the adjacent streets. Being one block back from the beach, it pairs easily with a foreshore walk.

Nearby with the dogs. Torquay Beach and the paved Esplanade walking path are a short stroll away for an on-lead walk before or after coffee. Check council signage for the leash-free zones.
