Grey Grus Cafe

Grey Grus Cafe is a breakfast and lunch spot at 47 Gladesville Road in the Hunters Hill village strip, known for its bacon and egg rolls and friendly service. Dogs settle in at the footpath tables out front while you eat.

The dog setup

Seating for dogs is the outdoor tables along the pavement at the front of the cafe. Under the NSW Food Authority's rules on animals at food premises, indoor seating is for customers without pets, so plan on the footpath tables if you have a dog with you. Ask staff for a water bowl when you arrive; it is not guaranteed to be out already.

Worth knowing

The menu leans towards quality brunch classics with Ona Coffee behind the machine, and the cafe has picked up local recognition for its food and service. Weekend mornings get busy, so a weekday visit is calmer if your dog is not used to crowds. Hours run 6:30am to 2:30pm Monday to Saturday, with a 7am start on Sundays, so it is a breakfast-and-lunch place rather than an afternoon stop.

Getting there and parking

The cafe sits on Gladesville Road in the main village strip. Street parking is available on Gladesville Road and the side streets, but it fills up during the 9am to 11am breakfast rush, so earlier is easier.

Make a day of it

The Hunters Hill walk threads through the peninsula's leafy streets and harbour frontage, and makes an easy follow-up to coffee. If you are back another day, The Sunroom and Miranda Hunters Hill are other village cafes worth a lap with the dog.
