Too Many Chiefs

Too Many Chiefs is a small, casual coffee-and-brunch cafe right by Brighton station on Bay Street, handy if you are arriving by train with a dog. It advertises itself as dog-friendly, with the footpath seating out front as the spot.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the sidewalk tables immediately out front, not inside. Service is casual and water bowls are usually offered. Keep your dog on-leash and settled in the outdoor space.

Good to know. Known for its coffee, including a rainbow latte, plus a solid breakfast menu and corn fritters. Note the hours: open weekday mornings only, roughly 7am to 2pm, and closed weekends.

Getting there. 305 Bay Street, Brighton, right by Brighton station, so it is easy to reach on foot. Free street parking on Bay Street and the side streets, though it can mean a short walk.

Nearby with the dogs. William Street Reserve, a fenced off-leash park, is about a 10-minute walk southeast, and the Bay Street strip is good for an on-leash wander.
