Zesty Lemon Cafe

Zesty Lemon Cafe is a relaxed brunch spot at 6 Bayview Terrace, right across from the Deception Bay foreshore. For dog owners it works because the outdoor seating sits on the bayfront footpath, so you can tie in a walk with the coffee.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor alfresco area on the footpath, not inside. Water bowls are usually on hand, but bring your own on a hot day to be sure. The outdoor space is open, so it suits a settled dog that will lie down beside the table.

Good to know. Reviewers rate the coffee and the breakfasts, with the potato rosti, eggs benedict and homemade cakes coming up often, plus the bay views from the seating. It is generally open daily from around 7am to 2pm and tends to close Tuesdays; confirm current hours before a special trip.

Getting there. Street parking runs along Bayview Terrace directly out front. It is an easy flat walk from the surrounding streets and the foreshore path.

Nearby with the dogs. The Deception Bay foreshore walking path is about 100 metres away, and the off-leash Deception Bay Dog Beach is a short stroll along the bay, which makes an easy coffee-then-walk loop.

When to go. Weekday mornings are calmest for a table with a dog; weekend brunch gets busy. Good for a low-key start before the foreshore walk.
