Moment Biscuits

The lead. Moment Biscuits is a small, community-minded cafe in Brighton, near the Queens Parade strip, built around house-made biscuits and specialty coffee. It is a morning spot, and the outdoor tables take dogs.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor seating. The setup is casual and intimate rather than a big courtyard, so it suits a well-behaved dog that will settle at your feet. Bring your own water in warm weather, as bowls are not a guaranteed fixture here.

Good to know. The name is the menu: melting moments and freshly baked biscuits are the drawcard, alongside choc brownies, bagels, sugar cookies and specialty coffee with a range of milks. There is usually a gluten-free option in the cabinet, and the service is the know-your-regulars kind.

Getting there. Free street parking is generally available in the residential streets around the cafe, with easy access off Brighton Road. It opens early and tends to wind up late morning, so it is a breakfast and morning-coffee call.

Nearby with the dogs. The Brighton to Sandgate foreshore is a few minutes away for a post-coffee walk, and Decker Park's fenced off-leash area is close if the dog needs a proper run.

When to go. Go early. The hours are short and skewed to the morning, so a mid-morning weekday visit gives you the calmest footpath table before it sells through the day's baking.
