Saltie Dog Coffee & Crepes

East European-style crepes, freshly roasted coffee and a covered patio looking straight out over the ocean - this Coledale spot earns every bit of its 5.0-star rating.

Dog Setup: Dogs are welcome on the covered outdoor patio, where staff bring out water bowls as standard. The real drawcard is the dedicated dog menu: Kangaroo Chews and a house specialty called "Doglato" that keeps canines occupied while you work through a plate of crepes. Pepsi would demolish a Doglato in seconds and then stare at you until you ordered a second.

Known For: Saltie Dog turns out traditional sweet and savoury crepes alongside freshly roasted coffee. The apple pie crepe gets repeat mentions from regulars, and there is a gluten free option for owners who need it. Honey cake is another standout worth leaving room for. Live music features regularly, which lifts the whole patio atmosphere without making conversation impossible.

Getting There: You will find the cafe at 748 Lawrence Hargrave Drive, walking distance from Coledale Beach if you want to tire the dog out first. Street parking is available along Lawrence Hargrave Drive and the side streets, but weekends get busy. Arrive before 9 AM if you want a park without circling. Doors open at 6:45 AM on weekdays and 7 AM on weekends, closing at 4 PM daily.

Grab an apple pie crepe, order a Doglato for the four-legged one, and let the ocean view and live music do the rest.
