Xcite Coffee & Smoothies

Xcite Coffee & Smoothies at 950 Wanneroo Road is the most dog-oriented coffee stop in Wanneroo: a drive-through where staff hand free dog treats out the window, plus outdoor tables if you want to stay a while. Weekday trade starts very early, with listed hours from 4am Monday to Friday, 5am Saturday and 6am Sunday.

The dog setup

The easiest run with a dog is the drive-through: the treat arrives before the coffee does, and neither of you leaves the vehicle. If you want a sit-down, park and use the outdoor tables off the car park. Some regulars report dogs are fine inside too, but that is not a published policy, so check with staff on the day rather than assuming.

Worth knowing

Regulars rate the barista coffee, banana bread, chai lattes and toasties, and smoothies cover the non-coffee side of the menu. There is a small gift shop attached, and the entry is wheelchair accessible. The 4am weekday open suits pre-work routines, and the drive-through has a reputation for moving fast even with a queue.

Getting there and parking

Free on-site parking sits directly off Wanneroo Road, with the drive-through lane running alongside. Access from both directions of Wanneroo Road is straightforward, which is half of why the morning queue moves.

Pair it with

Edgar Griffiths Dog Park is a few minutes up the road: two fully enclosed, double-gated zones (one for small dogs), agility equipment, a sand digging pit and dog bowls on the fountains, run by the City of Wanneroo. Coffee first, fenced off-leash run second is the obvious routine. Turquoise Wanneroo is a sit-down alternative nearby, Nook & Co. Cafe in Wangara another dog-friendly option, and the WA dog friendly cafes guide and Wanneroo destination page cover the rest.

Pepsi: a drive-through treat and a fenced park five minutes apart is a full morning sorted. Order the banana bread, share nothing.
