The Bearded Cactus - Smokin' Brews & Family Diner is a cafe in Maitland. We don't yet have enough signals to confirm whether dogs are allowed. It's best to check with the venue before visiting with your dog. Just 400m away, Johnston Reserve is a great nearby park for a walk with your dog.
Stumbled into this place on a work trip and was wary because they only had a handful of reviews. The reviews are true. This place has great food, great drinks and a great vibe. The staff seem like absolute legends too. Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed
The best coffee I’ve ever had! The barista was incredibly friendly and passionate. The first sip amazed me — the creamy milk aroma and smooth foam blended perfectly with the non-acidic coffee, something I’ve never even found in regular cafés. It instantly lifted my tired body and refreshed my whole mood. Thank you Daniel.
Leah consistently makes the best coffee, Leah's mother consistently makes the best choc chip cookies, and the brisket salad is the bees knees of salads. A great place to meet friends and family for a delicious meal :)
The burger was delicious but the serving was so small - like a child meal. The diner is comfortable though, with board games and books/magazines on the shelf. Staff were friendly and the beers were nice.
Favourite place. We bring everyone here that we can because it's like a secret gem! Lovely authentic people, chilled out atmosphere, and arty vibe. Great value for money! Monday night 2 for one steak night? What??! So gooood! AND it's family friendly. Just go and see. You won't be disappointed. :)
We check council regulations, official sources, and community reviews to verify dog access at every venue. Access may change — always check on-site signage. Something wrong or missing? Submit feedback. How it works.
