Cafe 63 Yeppoon

Cafe 63 is a busy all-day cafe on James Street in central Yeppoon, a short walk from the main beach and foreshore. For dog owners the draw is simple: well-behaved dogs are welcome at the outdoor footpath tables, and the long hours mean an early breakfast or a late dinner both work.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome at the outdoor and footpath seating only, not inside. The tables sit on the pavement, so space gets tight at peak times. Bring your own water bowl, as there is nothing dog-specific laid on here.

Worth knowing

The menu is large with generous servings and all-day breakfast, plus vegetarian and vegan options, and milkshakes get a regular mention. Hours run roughly 5:30am to 9pm daily, which makes this one of the more flexible stops in town. Quieter outside the breakfast and lunch rushes, when the footpath tables are easier to grab with a dog in tow. Good for an easy central pit stop rather than a long lingering visit.

Getting there and parking

Find it at Shop 2, 64-76 James Street. Free street parking is usually available on James Street and the surrounding roads, and the area is flat and easy to walk.

Close by with the dogs

Yeppoon Main Beach, the foreshore boardwalk and the parklands are all a short stroll away, so it is easy to pair a meal with an on-lead walk along the water. Livingstone Shire allows dogs off-lead on sections of the Capricorn Coast beaches at set times, so check council signage before unclipping. For another stop on the coast, Chapter is close by and Two Sisters Coffee Bar sits a few bays south at Cooee Bay.

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

Pepsi: big servings means a big nap. The foreshore boardwalk afterwards is all sniffing, zero effort.
