Cafe 52 Fourteen

Cafe 52 Fourteen is a family-run cafe on Goolwa Terrace, in the middle of town opposite the tourist information office and a short walk from the Cockle Train station. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating, which makes it an easy coffee stop before or after a walk along the wharf.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating - a back deck that catches sun or shade depending on the time of day, plus street-side tables. Keep your dog on the floor and settled beside you. Staff have a reputation for being accommodating, so ask if you need a water bowl.

Good to know. It is open seven days, roughly 8:30am to 3:30pm, doing all-day breakfast, burgers, sandwiches, gelati and coffee. Regulars single out the coffee, bacon and egg rolls and the chicken burger. Portions run generous.

Getting there. Shop 1/11 Goolwa Terrace, Goolwa. On-site and street parking are available and usually free, with accessible parking and entry close by.

Nearby with the dogs. The Goolwa Wharf precinct is a short walk for a riverside stroll, the town centre suits a slow morning loop, and Goolwa Beach is a quick drive for a longer sandy run.

When to go. Mornings are the calmest for grabbing an outdoor table with a dog in tow; the back deck is the pick on a cool, sunny day. Good for a relaxed coffee break between walks.
