Biga Café

Biga is a busy corner cafe on Hutt Street, a breakfast-and-brunch spot the City of Adelaide singles out as one of the street's most dog-welcoming. Dogs settle at the sheltered footpath tables, and the staff keep dog biscuits behind the counter, so this is one to seek out rather than settle for.

The dog setup. Dogs join you in the spacious, sheltered outdoor seating along the footpath. The team is attentive and will often bring a water bowl and a dog biscuit without being asked, and there is a wall of fame of doggy regulars. Sit outside for everyone's comfort, and bring your own bowl on a hot day as backup.

Good to know. The kitchen runs a hearty all-day breakfast, French toast, a breakfast burger and a big greens plate among the regulars, with Coffex coffee. It opens early (from 6am) and the kitchen winds up around 2pm, so it is a morning-to-early-afternoon proposition.

Getting there and parking. Biga is at 200 Hutt Street, towards the southern end. Metered street parking runs along Hutt Street and side streets like Gilles Street and East Terrace, so check the time limits. Buses run along Hutt Street.

Nearby with the dogs. The South Parklands are a few minutes' walk for a pre- or post-brunch run, and the tree-lined length of Hutt Street is a pleasant on-lead stroll past other dog-friendly cafes.

Get in early on a weekend before the brunch rush claims the footpath tables; weekday mornings are calmer. A genuine dog cafe and a natural anchor for a Hutt Street morning.
