That Place Next Door

That Place Next Door sits on Power Avenue across from Alexandria Park, and the address does half the marketing: patio tables with a park view, eggs benedict and corn fritters done properly, bruschetta and a chicken burger for the later orders. Weekdays open at 6:30am for the pre shift crowd, Saturdays at 7am to 3pm and Sundays at 7am to 2pm, and the room skews local regulars rather than destination brunchers.

Dogs on the patio

Listing reports have dogs welcome at the outdoor patio tables on a lead, with staff described as accommodating to visiting dogs. The park across the road is the bonus here: a pre breakfast walk or a post breakfast ball session is thirty seconds away, and the patio holds morning shade while the sun climbs. The policy comes from aggregator listings rather than the venue itself, so a quick confirm with staff on a first visit is reasonable, though the consistency of the reports suggests it is settled routine.

Power Avenue is a quiet pocket off the heavy traffic corridors, which makes arrival calmer for reactive dogs than most of the suburb. Weekend morning slots go early and the patio turns over steadily through the service, so the 7am start is worth matching. Street parking on the surrounding blocks is realistic outside peak hours, and the 3:30pm weekday close leaves room for an afternoon coffee that most park side cafes do not bother with.

Around Alexandria

Up the road, Meet Gerard is the bigger brunch operation, and The Copper Mill covers the specialty coffee angle. If the day becomes a weekend away rather than a morning out, Veriu Green Square is the dog friendly stay option nearby. More options are on the dog friendly cafes in NSW page.
