Cruize Espresso

Cruize Espresso sits on the Musgrave Avenue strip in Labrador, at Shop 6, number 37, on the leafy corner near Turpin Road. It is a bright, cheerful breakfast and lunch cafe, and dogs are welcome at the shaded outdoor setting out front.

The dog setup. Dogs join you on the shaded, pet-friendly deck outside. Inside has bench seating but is people-only, so plan to sit out. Staff have a name for being accommodating to dogs, though it is worth bringing your own water bowl rather than assuming one.

Good to know. Coffee is the Italian-style Merlo blend, with all-day breakfast including avocado smash and eggs done your way, plus muffins, toasted croissants and doughnuts. The room runs sunny and light with a small garden feel.

Getting there and parking. There is ample parking near the corner of Turpin Road and Musgrave Avenue, with street parking around the block. It is an easy drive-in, easier midweek than on a weekend morning.

Nearby with the dogs. It is about a five-minute drive down to the Labrador foreshore and Broadwater Parklands for a proper walk with water views. The wider Chirn Park precinct has other casual options if you are making a morning of it.

Weekday mornings are the calmest for a shaded deck table. Good for an easy coffee stop on the way to the Broadwater.
