Best Dog‑Friendly Coffee Spots in Perth to Take Your Pooch
Perthites love two things in equal measure: a perfectly extracted flat white and a good morning walk with the dog. Lucky for us, more and more local cafés are rolling out water bowls, puppuccinos and shady courtyards so you never have to choose between caffeine and canine company. Below are ten tried‑and‑true favourites, picked by a born‑and‑bred sand‑groper who's clocked plenty of kilometres on the lead (and even more espresso shots).
Local tip: Perth's council rules can shift from suburb to suburb. Double‑check each venue's current dog policy before you go, and keep that lead handy just in case.
1. The Little Bay — Watermans Bay
If your mutt likes a post‑beach lie‑down, swing past The Little Bay after a romp at Watermans Bay dog beach. The coastal deck has swing chairs, sea breeze for days and dog‑friendly outdoor tables. Grab a Little Bay brew from the side window while your pup scores pats from sunrise swimmers.
2. The Orange Box — Leighton Beach, North Fremantle
Bright umbrellas, hammocks and an alfresco‑only layout make The Orange Box an easy win for sand‑dusted paws. Order an iced long black, snag a spot on the lawn, and watch your dog tear it up on the off‑lead stretch just metres away.
3. Yelo — North Beach
Ask any northern suburbs local and they'll tell you Yelo is the sunrise pit stop. Dogs sprawl under the iconic yellow umbrellas while owners smash açai bowls or muffins still warm from the oven. Bonus: you can roll straight into the coastal path for a post‑coffee stroll.
4. Pixel Coffee Brewers — Leederville
Pixel Coffee Brewers's pastel‑hued shopfront may be tiny, but the flavour is mighty. Nab one of the outdoor perches, order their seasonal single‑origin, and treat your buddy to a "puppuccino" (yes, it's a thing here). Leederville's buzzing Oxford Street dog‑spotting scene is the cherry on top.5. Finlay & Sons No. 917 — Inglewood
French‑toast fans, rejoice. Finlay & Sons plates up decadent brunch alongside shady pavement tables perfect for four‑legged brunchers. Keep an eye out for Dina Colada, the café's own resident pup, who occasionally makes the rounds for sniffs.
6. Stomp Coffee — North Perth
Leafy courtyard, ethically sourced beans and a house motto that "all things are possible with coffee and a dog." Stomp Coffee's #DogsOfStomp Insta wall proves the locals couldn't agree more. Rock up early on weekends—Angove Street fills fast.
7. Laika Coffee — Lathlain
Named after the first pup in space, Laika Coffee sports an open courtyard, basketball half‑court and loads of room for tail‑waggers. Pair your cold‑drip with their cult crumpets while the dogdo rolls in the shade.
8. Someday Coffee Co — Floreat
Think pastel interiors, plenty of alfresco seating and crowd‑pleasers like corn fritters stacked sky‑high. Someday Coffee Co gets fussed over out front while humans sip well‑rounded house espresso. Perfect detour after a stroll through Perry Lakes.
9. Slate Café — Bennett Springs, Swan Valley
Worth the drive for its fenced dog playground alone! Slate Café was designed with pups and kids in mind—there's an enclosed agility area, grassed picnic lawn and even breed‑specific playdates on weekends. Humans aren't forgotten: the eggs‑benny is legit.
10. FurBaby Boutique & Café — Westminster
When a venue includes "Boutique & Café" in the name, you know it's next‑level pet‑centric. FurBaby lets you grab breakfast, browse the on‑site pet store, book a groom or let your pooch loose in the covered courtyard—all under one roof. Think of it as a day spa where you're merely the plus‑one.
