Angels Bayside Cafe

Angels Bayside Cafe sits at the corner of Owen and Hawke Streets on Huskisson's main strip, with outdoor seating looking over Jervis Bay and a kitchen that fires up at 6:30am every day of the week. For dog owners staying in or passing through the Jervis Bay towns, it is the early option: the water view tables are outside, the dogs are part of the furniture, and the day's first swim is a short walk away.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating areas overlooking Jervis Bay, and water bowls are available for visiting dogs. The dog friendly listing circulates through venue directories and visitor reports rather than a published written policy, so the practical approach is to take an outside table, ask for a water bowl and let staff steer you to the dog friendly section. The outside strip faces the bay, which keeps dogs entertained and owners supplied with the view that makes Huskisson mornings what they are. On hot days the shaded end of the outdoor area is worth holding out for.

The menu runs the reliable beach town breakfast list: egg and bacon roll for the early crowd, eggs benedict for the sit down table, and a chicken schnitzel if you slide into lunch, with staff regularly praised in visitor feedback. Hours are a strict 6:30am to 2pm, seven days, so this is a breakfast and lunch operation, not an afternoon one. The corner position means the outdoor tables catch the morning light, which is exactly when a leashed dog and a coffee work best here.

Make a day of it

The strip makes second stops easy. Espresso Boy Doughnuts is the sweet counter a short walk up Owen St, Emma's Coffee Spot is the backup coffee if Angels is full, and if the visit becomes an overnighter, Holiday Haven Huskisson Beach keeps the dog in the picture for the whole stay.

The Huskisson destination page lists the town's dog friendly eating and walks together, and the NSW cafes guide carries the rest of the coast for a longer Jervis Bay circuit.
