Local Hive Cafe

Local Hive Cafe is a casual all-day breakfast and brunch spot tucked into Kellyville Village Shopping Centre on Wrights Road, best known locally for its Toby's Estate coffee and a run of outdoor tables right beside the shopping centre's fenced children's playground.

The setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables only, not inside. The tables sit close to the cafe entrance with a clear view over the playground, so it suits owners minding kids and a dog at the same time. Staff will often bring out a water bowl, but pack your own to be sure.

Known for. Eggs benedict, sweet potato fries and a grilled sumac salad come up often in reviews, alongside efficient service for a busy shopping centre cafe.

Getting there. It's inside Kellyville Village Shopping Centre with free centre parking right outside, so there's no real parking hassle even on weekends.

Weekday mornings are quieter than weekend brunch, when the outdoor tables near the playground fill fast with families.
