@ Coffee & Soul

@ Coffee & Soul is a cosy cafe on King Edward Street in Ulverstone on Tasmania's north-west coast, known for home baking and unhurried service. Dogs are permitted in the outdoor areas, which makes it a natural stop mid-walk along the Leven waterfront.

The dog setup

Take a table in the outdoor seating and your leashed dog can settle alongside you. The indoor room is compact and stays for humans, so this is a fair-weather stop in the cooler months, or a rug-up-and-visit one.

Hours are 8am to 3pm Monday to Friday, with a short Saturday window from 9am to noon and Sundays closed. Plan the visit for morning, since the scone tray thins out as the day goes.

The vibe

The scones with jam and cream are the headliner, backed by solid coffee and a genuinely kind, relaxed crew. The toasties and cakes cover anyone who wants more than a sweet hit. It is the sort of place where locals linger, so expect conversation at the next table rather than laptop rows.

Pepsi: order the scones first and the coffee second, then hold the outdoor table while they warm through. Saturday is the only weekend shot, and it fills by ten.

Getting there

The address is Shop 1/3/31 King Edward Street, Ulverstone TAS 7315, a block back from the Leven Highway through town. Street parking is available nearby, and the beach and foreshore path are a few minutes' walk away.

Close by with the dogs

For more dog-friendly tables, Beach Hut Coffee sits near the beach and does pup cups, and Hey Buddy in West Ulverstone has a pet-friendly back garden with water bowls.

More options are on the Tasmania cafe guide and the Ulverstone destination page.
