LOAF Cronulla

LOAF is an artisan bakery and cafe at 25 Currambene Street, a few blocks back from Cronulla beach. The draw for dog owners is simple: the kitchen is serious about sourdough and coffee, and dogs are genuinely welcome at the footpath tables.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor seating only, which is standard under NSW food-premises rules. Indoor seating is service dogs only. Staff are known to bring out a water bowl, but it is worth bringing your own on a busy morning so you are not waiting.

Good to know. The reputation rests on in-house sourdough, pastries and made-to-order sandwiches, with white, brown or gluten-free bread and wrap options. Coffee is strong. It is a small boutique bakery, so the outdoor tables fill fast.

Getting there. Street parking runs along Currambene Street and the surrounding residential blocks, but it gets tight on weekends. It is an easy walk from Cronulla Station if you would rather skip the parking hunt.

Nearby with the dogs. The Cronulla beachfront path is a few blocks away, so most people pair a coffee here with a coastal walk along the esplanade.

Come on a weekday morning or early on the weekend for a shady spot. Good for a quick refuel before or after a beach walk rather than a long sit.
