Fink Cafe

Fink Cafe is a compact, friendly local on the Burns Bay Road shopping strip in Lane Cove North, popular for reliable coffee and a laid-back brunch menu.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables right on the footpath out front. There's no courtyard, so you're seated among foot traffic on Burns Bay Road, which suits a settled dog better than a reactive one. Staff are dog-friendly but bring your own water bowl to be safe.

Good to know. Known for consistent coffee, generous brunch plates and a genuinely welcoming team, drawing a steady stream of regulars.

Getting there. Shop 3/225 Burns Bay Rd, Lane Cove North. Free street parking along Burns Bay Road and the adjacent residential streets, plus local bus routes running past the door.

Nearby with the dogs. Blackman Park is a short walk away with a fenced off-leash area and walking trails, good for a stretch before or after coffee.
