Dulcie and Edna Banora Point

Dulcie and Edna is a neighbourhood cafe with a strong local following in Banora Point, near the Tweed Coast, and it earns that following on coffee and brunch craft. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables out front, which makes it the area's easy weekend brunch stop when you have the dog in tow.

The dog setup

Dogs settle in the outdoor seating area rather than inside, on lead and close to your table so the space stays clear for staff and other customers. Staff are generally accommodating and a water bowl often appears, but bring your own in case one is busy. The footpath area fills quickly on weekend mornings, so an early table is worth the effort.

The food and coffee

The menu leans proper cafe brunch: avo on toast, eggs benny served on crumpets, and seasonal specials that have ranged from a christmas pudding dish to goats cheese numbers. Coffee is a genuine strength, with flat whites and latte art that keep the regulars loyal, and the service gets consistent praise for friendliness.

Getting there

The cafe sits in a suburban Banora Point strip, with street parking on the surrounding residential streets. Spaces are manageable outside peak brunch hours, and the whole area is flat and easy to walk with a dog.

Make a day of it

The surrounding streets suit a quiet pre or post coffee stroll, and for a proper run the John Baker Reserve Fenced Dog Park and the Banora Point Dog Park are both close by. Felicity's Coffee Co is the suburb's other dog-friendly coffee option if queues are out the door. The local list lives on the Banora Point destination page, with the broader region in the NSW cafes index.

Doors open from 6:30am weekdays and 6:45am weekends, closing at 2pm. The pattern that works: early walk, early table, and you get the best of the menu before the rush.
