X74 Cafe

The short version. X74 is a casual local cafe at 10 Bream St, one street back from Coogee Beach, and it leans into being a dog spot rather than just tolerating one. The cafe's own social feed makes a point of the dogs that come in, which tells you the welcome is real.

The dog setup. Dogs go at the outdoor footpath seating and are often allowed inside too. Staff regularly put out water bowls. It gets busy and social on weekends, so it suits a dog that is comfortable around other dogs and people rather than one that wants a quiet corner.

Good to know. Coffee and brunch are the core, with the odd caramel milkshake, and it works as a neighbourhood gathering point more than a polished destination.

Getting there. Street parking on Bream St and nearby streets, busy on weekends. Easy walk-in if you are already on the coastal path.

Make a morning of it. Coogee Beach and its coastal paths are a couple of minutes away. Weekday mornings are the calmer window if the weekend dog crowd is not your thing.
