Dog-friendly cafes in Petersham, ranked

  1. #1Brothers Ben Cafe for a weekday breakfast with the dog outside

    $$🐕 Dogs outsideOutdoor seating🌳 Brighton Street Reserve, 2 min walk

    Brothers Ben Cafe is the top pick for a breakfast with a dog. Dogs sit at the outside tables, and Brighton Street Reserve is a two-minute walk away for a stroll afterwards. Try the corn fritters, which are crisp outside and full of corn, or the bacon and egg roll. The matcha latte tastes strongly of matcha and is not overly sweet. Doors open at 7am on weekdays and 8am on weekends, and the cafe shuts at 2:30pm every day.

    Best for: Weekday breakfast with a dog

  2. #2The Counter for an early coffee and a sandwich to take away

    $$🐕 Dogs outsideOutdoor seating🌳 Brighton Street Reserve, 5 min walk

    The Counter suits anyone who needs a coffee before work. It opens at 5:30am on weekdays and 6am on Saturdays, the earliest start on this page. Sandwiches and the omelette get the most mentions, and the flat white is described as smooth and strong. Dogs can sit outside, and Brighton Street Reserve is five minutes away for a takeaway picnic.

    Best for: Early coffee and takeaway sandwiches

  3. #3The Bungalow for a long weekend brunch with friends

    $$🐕 Dogs outsideOutdoor seating🌳 Maundrell Park, 2 min walk

    The Bungalow works for a slow weekend brunch, with a yellow dining room and a shaded outside area for dogs. Weekend mornings run from 7:30am, and the kitchen closes at 2:30pm on Sunday. Ask for the chicken and mushroom peri-peri crepe, or the couscous salad with falafel. Maundrell Park is a few streets over, close enough to walk to. Saturday mornings can be crowded, and the large central table sometimes seats strangers together.

    Best for: Weekend brunch with friends and a dog

  4. #4Splash Coffee for a park stop with kids and a dog

    $🐕 Dogs outsideOutdoor seating🌳 Petersham Park, 1 min walk

    Splash Coffee sits inside Petersham Park, so the playground and pool are right beside the outside tables. Order the curried chip butty, a hefty toasted sandwich of chips and curry sauce. The double burger comes stacked with onion and pickle. The kids' menu offers nuggets and chips. Service begins at 6:30am and runs until 3pm, with no closed days.

    Best for: Park visits with kids

  5. #5The Pig & Pastry for a family brunch after the park

    $$🐕 Dogs outsideOutdoor seating🌳 Petersham Park, 2 min walk

    The Pig & Pastry sits on the corner opposite Petersham Park, so children can run off a meal nearby. Breakfast favourites include baked eggs in chorizo sauce, and the English fish cakes come with salad. Baked goods such as the almond croissant are sold from the cabinet. The team handles big tables well, and colouring pages keep younger diners busy. It opens at 7am on weekdays and 7:30am on weekends.

    Best for: Family brunch and baked eggs

  6. #6The Tiny Giant for a sweet breakfast burrito

    $🐕 Dogs outsideOutdoor seating🌳 Brighton Street Reserve, 5 min walk

    The Tiny Giant is the spot for a breakfast burrito or a sweet plate. The fairy floss French toast is popular, and the burrito is the dish most often named. Lunch leans towards the New York Reuben. Portions are big for the money. Doors open at 6:30am each day and close at 2pm, and Brighton Street Reserve is a five-minute stroll for dog walkers.

    Best for: Breakfast burritos and sweet brunch
