Whistling Kettle Cafe Hampton

Whistling Kettle Cafe at 8/532 Hampton Street is one of the more deliberately dog-minded cafés on the strip: alongside the brunch it runs a dedicated dog menu, so your dog can order something too. It is a friendly, community-focused room with a strong following in Bayside.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor footpath seating, with room to settle and good people-watching. Staff are accommodating, and the dog menu means treats are sorted on the spot.

Good to know. The kitchen turns out quality brunch and lunch, plus a proper tea and coffee list. Closed Mondays; open Tuesday to Friday from 7:30am, and weekends from 8am.

Getting there. A short walk from Hampton Station. Street parking runs along Hampton Street, with side streets often offering unrestricted or timed spaces.

Nearby with the dogs. The Hampton Beach foreshore is a short distance away; follow the posted Bayside City Council signs for on-leash and off-leash times.
