Cafes with outdoor seating in Alexandria, ranked

  1. #1Coffee Creative for a seat when the room is full

    $🐕 Dogs insideOutdoor seating🌳 Dibbs Street Reserve, 2 min walk

    Coffee Creative has only a small room, so the outside tables are where many breakfasts end up at busy times. The espresso is the drink to order, and the empanadas suit a seat outside. Dibbs Street Reserve is a short walk off, at two minutes. A basics coffee course is advertised behind the bar for anyone wanting to learn more about the drink.

    Best for: Outside seats when the room fills

  2. #2That Place Next Door - TPND for a table close to the street

    Because the front opens fully, the outside tables at That Place Next Door - TPND sit close to the room. Breakfast plates include eggs, pancakes and a southern fried chicken maple waffle, with a bottomless option at weekends. Alexandria Park is one minute from the door, which makes a seat outside a good start or finish to a walk. It stays calm even on a crowded morning.

    Best for: Street-side seats near a park

  3. #3Cantine Verte for a sunny weekday lunch
