MrsCoffeeLicious Country Market

MrsCoffeeLicious Country Market is a Saturday morning outdoor market at the Farmer's Assembly Hall on Caboolture River Road, Upper Caboolture. Local growers, stallholders and a coffee cart set up across the open-air grounds, and dogs on leash are welcome to browse along with you.

The dog setup

The market spreads across the assembly hall grounds, so everything happens outdoors in an open country-style setting and a leash-on stroll between stalls is the natural way to do it. There is no dedicated water station, so pack a bowl and water for your dog, and treat offers from stallholders as a maybe rather than a given. The crowd is community-minded and used to dogs, but Saturday mornings can get busy, so keep your dog close around the tighter stalls.

The vibe

Barista coffee and hot breakfast are the anchors, with fresh seasonal produce from local growers, plants and flowers, and handmade goods from small businesses. The market keeps a genuine country-market feel, and live music turns up some Saturdays. It runs Saturdays only, from 6am to midday, which makes it an early-morning outing rather than an all-day one.

Pepsi: go early. The grounds are shadiest before nine and your dog will thank you for finishing the produce run before the heat and the crowds arrive.

Getting there and parking

The address is 704 Caboolture River Road, Upper Caboolture. Free parking is available on site, and the grounds are wheelchair accessible. From Caboolture, head west along Caboolture River Road and watch for the assembly hall on your left.

Make a day of it

If the market becomes a Saturday habit, the Parkridge Estate fenced dog park is nearby for an off-leash run after the walk back to the car, and the Burpengary Dog Park is a short drive south. For a weekday coffee fix in the area, Oakey Palms Cafe at Morayfield is dog friendly.

More options are on the Queensland dog friendly cafes guide and the Upper Caboolture destination page.
