Your Fur-Friendly Cafe on the Sunshine Coast

Pet friendly cafe - Pet friendly Sunshine Coast

Finding a Pet friendly Sunshine Coast spot that serves damn good food isn't always easy. You want somewhere that welcomes your four-legged mate without compromising on quality feeds for the humans. At The Nines, we've created the perfect balance - a vibrant cafe where your furry friend is welcome and the food hits different.

What Makes The Nines a Pet-Friendly Favourite

We designed our space for everyone – two legs or four. You'll find plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the Sunshine Coast sun with your dog. We always have water bowls ready to keep them hydrated, and yes, we even offer special pup treats to make their visit extra special. It's a truly relaxed atmosphere where dogs aren't just allowed, they're genuinely welcome.

Located in the Sunshine Homemaker Centre, we also offer easy parking , making your visit hassle-free from the moment you arrive. Whether you're after a post-beach feed with sandy paws in tow, or just want a relaxed brunch spot where the whole family feels at home, we've got you sorted.

More Than Just a Pup-Approved Venue

I'm Janice Kuz, owner of The Nines Emporium here in Maroochydore, and after 20+ years in hospitality, I know what makes a truly welcoming Pet friendly Sunshine Coast experience. We believe you shouldn't have to choose between a pup-approved venue and seriously good tucker. That's why our menu is built on quality coffee, epic breakfast and lunch options, and fresh, locally-sourced ingredients.

We've been creating that laid-back, everyone-welcome vibe for almost a decade now, and honestly, some of our most loyal customers have four legs and wagging tails. We focus on handheld menu items perfect for outdoor dining and house-made everything to ensure the food is always top-notch.

A Welcoming Vibe for Pups and Their People

When we set out to create The Nines, we wanted a spot where the whole crew could kick back – and that absolutely includes your furry bestie. A truly Pet friendly Sunshine Coast cafe needs to nail a few key things to make both humans and hounds happy, and we've made that our mission.

Sunny Spots and Good Vibes

First up, it's all about the atmosphere. Our outdoor seating offers plenty of perfect sunny spots where your pup can bask while you enjoy your coffee. We've got loads of alfresco tables, perfect for soaking up that glorious Sunshine Coast weather. Fresh water bowls are always ready on request – just ask one of our legends behind the counter. It's that no-fuss atmosphere that makes the difference.

The relaxed vibes extend to our coffee. We proudly pour Tim Adams coffee – the local Vintage Black blend that keeps our regulars coming back. Because let's be real, a good cup of coffee is the foundation of any epic day out, especially when you're adventuring with your pup. You can check out our full menu of epic feeds to see what we mean about creating that cozy, busy, and fun space.

Epic Feeds for the Humans

Look, we know your dog is cute, but let's be honest – you're here for the human food first . Our handheld heroes are perfect for outdoor dining with your pup. The legendary Aussie Burg comes loaded with a beef brisket pattie, melty cheese, runny egg yolk, sweet grilled pineapple, and our house tomato relish. Then there's our fresh Fish Tacos – both perfect for eating one-handed while keeping an eye on your furry mate.

Don't get us started on our famous Benny Trilogy . These modern classics offer three next-level variations of Eggs Benedict: crispy bacon, smoked salmon, and roasted garlic thyme mushrooms with pesto hollandaise. Each comes with two perfectly poached eggs, spinach, avocado, and a hash brown on toasted sourdough – all with that house-made hollandaise goodness. For those who love a sweet treat, our next-level good milkshakes are damn good too.

The Perfect Post-Adventure Pit-Stop

Convenient location is everything when you're out exploring with your furry mate. We're perfectly positioned in Maroochydore , right in the Sunshine Homemaker Centre . That means easy parking – none of that stressful circling the block nonsense – so you can roll straight in, leash up your pup, and grab that much-needed post-adventure feed .

Whether you've just conquered a dog-friendly walking trail or enjoyed some sandy paws time at the beach, we're the ideal spot to refuel. After all that excitement, our refreshing drinks hit different. Try one of our creative cold foams or a classic iced coffee – perfect for cooling down while your pup recovers from all the tail-wagging excitement. We're here to make your day, not just your coffee.

Your New Go-To for Paws, Plates, and Good Times

Here's the thing about finding the perfect Pet friendly Sunshine Coast spot – you shouldn't have to compromise on quality just because you want to bring your furry mate along. At The Nines, we've spent almost a decade crafting a space where everyone feels welcome, and that absolutely includes your four-legged family members.

Why The Nines is Your Ultimate Pet-Friendly Cafe

Since we opened our doors back in 2015, we've been all about doing things differently. We wanted to create something bigger, bolder, and more fun than your average cafe, and that vision extends to how we welcome pets too. Our outdoor seating areas aren't just an afterthought – they're designed with both you and your pup in mind, complete with fresh water bowls on request and plenty of space for tails to wag without bumping into other diners.

But let's be honest – you're not just here for the dog-friendly vibes. You want damn good food that's worth the trip, and that's where we really shine. Our menu is packed with flavour-forward dishes that look as good as they taste. Whether you're craving our legendary Aussie Burg with its beef brisket pattie and runny egg yolk, or you're in the mood for something fresh like our roast pumpkin salad, we've got feeds that hit different.

The best part? You get solid value without sacrificing quality. We're talking generous portions, house-made everything, and coffee that's roasted locally by Tim Adams. It's the perfect combination of a genuinely welcoming atmosphere for pets and food that'll have you planning your next visit before you've even finished your meal.

Planning Your Visit with Your Furry Mate

Ready to bring your pup down for a feed? We're open 7am to 3pm every single day , so whether you're after an early morning coffee run or a lazy weekend brunch, we've got you covered. Our kitchen closes just 30 minutes before we do, giving you plenty of time to grab those epic feeds.

The beauty of our setup is that it's all about walk-ins welcome – no need to stress about booking ahead or calling to check if your dog can come. Just rock up to our outdoor area, find a sunny spot, and we'll sort you out with everything you need, including fresh water for your furry mate.

If you're planning a big adventure day and want to grab something on the go, our takeaway options mean you can fuel up properly without missing a beat. For all the details on finding us at the Sunshine Homemaker Centre, plus our exact address and contact info, you can check out our location and hours.

More Than Just a Pet Friendly Sunshine Coast Stop

Here's what makes us different – we're not just a Pet friendly Sunshine Coast cafe, we're a spot where the whole crew can have a good time. When you're travelling with your dog, chances are you've got the kids in tow too, right? That's where our kids menu becomes a total game-changer.

A variety of breakfast and brunch dishes for the whole crew

We've got all the classics that kids actually want to eat: Bacon & Eggs (with a GFO option for gluten-free little ones), Mini Pancakes served with vanilla ice cream and maple syrup, and crowd-pleasers like Nuggets & Fries or Fish & Chips . It's proper food that doesn't feel like you're settling for boring kid stuff.

And because we love keeping things fresh and exciting, our monthly specials mean there's always something new to find. We're constantly experimenting with creative pancake stacks, new cold foam flavours, and limited-time dishes that you won't find anywhere else. It keeps every visit interesting and gives you a reason to come back and see what we've cooked up next.

The whole experience is designed around creating memories – whether that's your dog making friends with other pups in our outdoor area, your kids getting excited about their mini pancakes, or you finding your new favourite cold foam flavour. Come down and see what we're about – we reckon you'll love what we've built here.
