Stoa Bokarina

Stoa Bokarina is a cafe, bar and lounge on the ground floor of the Zinc building, directly across from a landscaped park, and a regular stop for locals on their morning dog walk.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the alfresco outdoor dining area. Keep dogs leashed and settled while in the outdoor space. Staff can provide puppuccinos and dog cookies, and will bring out a water bowl if you ask.

Good to know. The menu runs from morning coffee and brunch through to Happy Hour and evening cocktails, and the venue hosts trivia nights, so it doubles as a daytime coffee stop and an evening drinks spot.

Getting there. Stoa is on the ground floor of the Zinc development in Bokarina, with ample street parking in the surrounding area and pedestrian paths connecting to the nearby coastal parklands.

Nearby with the dogs. The park directly opposite is good for a walk before or after eating. Bokarina Beach is a short walk further on. Check the Sunshine Coast Council pet exercise map for current on-leash and off-leash times before you go, and keep dogs out of the coastal dunes and away from playgrounds and barbecue areas.
