JOY Cafe Brookvale

JOY Cafe Brookvale is a small, bright coffee stop on Harbord Road with outdoor footpath seating, making it an easy pick for a quick brew or brunch with your dog before or after a walk in the area.

Dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables along the footpath out front. There is no indoor seating for dogs, so plan on the alfresco spots. Staff are generally accommodating, but bring your own water bowl as one is not guaranteed to be on hand.

Good to know. JOY is known for its specialty coffee and all-day brunch, with the avo on toast and fresh wraps as regulars on the menu. It gets busy on Saturday mornings, so arrive early if you want a table.

Getting there. The cafe sits at 212 Harbord Road, Brookvale. Free street parking is usually available along Harbord Road and the side streets, though it fills up on weekend mornings. Bus stops on Pittwater Road are a short walk away.

Nearby. Brookvale Park is close by for a quick stretch of the legs after your coffee, and the cluster of breweries around Mitchell Road is a few minutes' drive if you want to extend the outing.
