Good Cartel

Good Cartel is a casual, locally loved cafe at 3 Weld Street, Djugun, on the Cable Beach side of Broome, running counter-service coffee and all-day food seven days a week, with a drive-thru bolted on for people passing through. For dog owners the draw is the shaded outdoor seating, where dogs are a normal part of the morning crowd rather than an exception.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating areas, which run under umbrellas suited to the Broome heat. Staff are openly dog-friendly and will bring out a water bowl, though bringing your own backup is sensible in the build-up months. Keep your dog leashed and settled close to the table, particularly through the peak morning rush when the outdoor space fills. The drive-thru is the fallback if you have a restless dog and just need coffee.

The vibe

This is an easy-going local cafe rather than a destination restaurant: good coffee, breakfast rice bowls, maple bacon bagels, burgers and a solid run of vegetarian and vegan options. It opens early for the pre-heat coffee run and trades into the evening, though hours shift seasonally in Broome, so check before a late visit. The crowd mixes Djugun locals, tradies and holidaymakers heading to or back from Cable Beach.

Getting there and parking

Weld Street sits in Djugun's small commercial strip, roughly ten minutes from Chinatown and five from Cable Beach, with onsite and free street parking right by the venue. It is an easy pull-in stop on the drive between town and the beach.

Close by with the dogs

Make it a Broome loop: Matso's Broome Brewery covers a longer lunch, Molly's BakeHouse is the other local bakery stop, and RAC Cable Beach Holiday Park is a dog-friendly base nearby. The Mango Place adds a tropical fruit stop on the way back into town.
