The Spot Cafe

The Spot is an all-day breakfast and lunch cafe at 10/143 Terralong Street, set in the Terrace complex but with its own undercover outdoor area that opens to the street. It is a friendly, community-minded spot, and the dedicated covered seating makes it an easy call with a dog in tow.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor undercover area, which sits on the terrace facing the car park, so you get shelter from sun or a passing shower. Inside is service dogs only. Staff keep water bowls on hand and are reliably good with pets.

Known for. Toby's Estate coffee, generous breakfasts and burgers, and a strong run of gluten-free and vegetarian options. Reviewers also flag it as decent value in a town where tourist pricing can bite.

Getting there and parking. It is in the main Kiama shopping area, with a large free car park right beside the Terrace building, so you can park and reach the outdoor tables without a long walk.

Nearby with the dogs. Kiama Surf Beach is a short walk for a post-coffee stroll, and the coastal path towards the Lighthouse and Blowhole is easy to pick up from the town centre.

The covered seating means it holds up in patchy weather, so it is a good wet-morning option. Quietest on weekday mornings before the brunch rush.
