Early birds cafe hastings

Early Bird Cafe Foodstore in Hastings is a bright, casual brunch spot at 20 Victoria Street, near the plaza, with footpath seating that welcomes dogs.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor and footpath tables, on-lead and seated with you. The cafe usually puts out water bowls, so hydration is sorted, though a portable bowl is handy on a hot day.

Good to know. It is open daily, roughly 8:00am to 4:00pm, and reviewers rate it for a welcoming atmosphere, fresh juices and smoothies, hearty breakfasts and a good cabinet of cakes and pastries.

Getting there. It sits in the heart of Hastings with ample plaza and off-street parking nearby, and flat, easy footpaths if you are walking the dog in. The Hastings foreshore is a short drive for a walk before or after.

Handy as a mid-morning refuel between a foreshore run and the High Street shops.
