Nook & Co. Cafe

Nook & Co. is a brunch cafe in a small commercial complex at 2/1255 Wanneroo Road, Wangara, with a 4.8-star local following and an outdoor row of tables where dogs are welcome. It is the northern-suburbs detour worth building a walk around rather than a drive-through coffee stop.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome at the outdoor seating area only, not inside where the food is prepared. Staff keep water bowls on hand, and the kitchen has been known to plate up plain scrambled eggs for a canine guest on request, which tells you most of what you need about the attitude here. Keep your dog leashed and settled beside the table; the small outdoor row is compact.

Worth knowing

The menu runs to modern brunch: the Honey Butter Stack, chilli scrambled eggs, the Nook special and fiery udon, plus the strawberry matcha that fills its socials. Hours start early, 6am on weekdays and 8am on weekends, wrapping up by 2:30pm (1:30pm Sundays), so it is a morning operation.

Getting there and parking

The cafe sits in a small commercial complex on Wanneroo Road with free parking directly out front, easy to reach if you are passing through the northern suburbs or heading between Joondalup and the city.

Close by with the dogs

The Edgar Griffiths Dog Park at Wanneroo is the standout nearby run, with dual-fenced enclosures, agility gear and a bush walk alongside, and Elcar Park Fenced Dog Park adds a fully fenced option a short drive west. For another coffee in the industrial strip, Espresso 57 is close by.

Max: pair the dog park at Edgar Griffiths with this one. Big fenced run first, then the outdoor table while the dog naps, and maybe those scrambled eggs arrive after all.

More northern suburbs options sit under the Western Australian cafes listing, and the Wangara guide covers the area.
