Weekend in Jannali: coffee at Jannali Coffeestation, then shade at Alice Street Reserve
Start at Jannali Coffeestation on Railway Crescent, a short walk from Jannali station, and aim to arrive before the morning warms up. Dogs are welcome at its outside tables. Regulars rate the coffee as outstanding, and the raisin sourdough and flat white are the orders to try. Visitors say there is plenty of room for big groups, so a few owners can sit together with their dogs. From there it is a 4-minute walk to Alice Street Reserve, the shadier of the two. It has mature trees, a playground with climbing equipment and a slide, and a grassed area for a slow loop after coffee. Dogs stay on a lead there, so keep the loop short and finish in the shade before the day warms up. The weekday plan is next, when Cafe Jolie opens at 6am.
Weekday mornings in Jannali: a short walk at Charles Orwin Reserve, then breakfast at Cafe Jolie
Charles Orwin Reserve on Davey Street is a small, well-treed local park of 0.11 hectares, a good first stop for a dog that needs a short walk. Dogs are on a lead. The boundary is partly fenced, which keeps the play area separate from the open grounds, and the reserve has picnic tables, toilets, paths and parking. Cafe Jolie is a 7-minute walk away on Box Road. It opens at 6am on weekdays, so 8am is a comfortable time for breakfast at an outside table, the spot its listing gives for dogs. The cafe serves breakfast, brunch and lunch, with a kids' menu, and coffee drinkers say the Campos coffee is well made. It closes at 4pm, so this plan fits a morning start.

FAQ
Where can I take my dog off-leash in Jannali?
Charles Orwin Reserve and Alice Street Reserve both require dogs on a lead, so every walk in Jannali's two reserves is on lead. Charles Orwin Reserve is a small local park of 0.11 hectares on Davey Street, with paths, picnic tables, toilets and parking, and its play area sits behind a partly fenced boundary. Alice Street Reserve is a public neighbourhood park with a playground, climbing equipment, a slide and mature trees, so its shade helps on a warm day. The two reserves are about 10 minutes apart on foot, so a walk can start at one and finish at the other.
Is there a fenced dog park in Jannali?
Neither reserve in Jannali has a fenced dog area, so there is no enclosed run for a dog to play in. Charles Orwin Reserve has a partly fenced boundary that keeps its play area separate from the open grounds. Alice Street Reserve has a grassed area and mature trees. Dogs stay on a lead at both reserves, so the walk is the outing. Alice Street Reserve is a 4-minute walk from Jannali Coffeestation and from Cafe Jolie, so a shady rest there can follow a coffee without a long drive. Charles Orwin Reserve is a 7-minute walk from both cafes.
Which cafes in Jannali allow dogs?
Jannali Coffeestation welcomes dogs at its outside tables, and Cafe Jolie's listing says dogs are outside only, so a dog stays outside at either cafe. Jannali Coffeestation sits on Railway Crescent, a short walk from Jannali station. It opens at 5:30am on weekdays and Saturdays and closes at 2pm, and on Sundays it runs from 6am to 1pm. Cafe Jolie sits on Box Road, opens at 6am on weekdays and 6:30am at weekends, and closes at 4pm every day. Both are a short walk from the reserves, so a dog can have a walk on a lead and a coffee in one visit. Cafe Jolie also has a kids' menu, which helps when a family comes with a dog.
Where can I walk my dog and get a coffee in Jannali?
On weekdays, start with Charles Orwin Reserve, a 0.11 hectare reserve on Davey Street, then walk 7 minutes to Cafe Jolie for breakfast. On weekends, reverse the order: coffee at Jannali Coffeestation comes first, and the 4-minute walk takes you to Alice Street Reserve for shade. Both walks are short, and Jannali Coffeestation has outside tables that take dogs while Cafe Jolie's listing says dogs are outside only. Check the closing times before you go, since Jannali Coffeestation shuts at 1pm on Sundays and Cafe Jolie shuts at 4pm on weekdays. Keep the dog on a lead for both walks, and allow time for a slow loop at each reserve before the cafe stop.
What can I do with my dog in Jannali?
Jannali has two outings that work well with a dog, both on lead. On weekends, start with coffee at Jannali Coffeestation from about 8am, then take a 4-minute walk to Alice Street Reserve for shade and a slow loop before the day warms up. On weekdays, start with a walk at Charles Orwin Reserve, which has paths and picnic tables, then take a 7-minute walk to Cafe Jolie for breakfast at about 8am. Both plans finish before the cafes close, so the timing is what makes them work. Pick the weekend plan for a relaxed morning with a coffee, and the weekday plan for a short walk before work or school drop-off.
