Angie Sue Lauderdale

Angie Sue is a licensed cafe and wine bar on South Arm Road in Lauderdale, on Hobart's eastern shore, with a front deck and rear courtyard that welcome dogs. It has become the standard brunch stop after a beach walk in these parts, with wood-fired pizza nights on Fridays.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome on the front deck and in the rear courtyard, kept on lead in these communal areas, with anchor points and water bowls usually out for visiting dogs. Check with staff before settling into any sheltered or semi-enclosed section, since indoor space stays people-first.

The vibe

All-day brunch built around local and seasonal produce, with brisket waffles, corn fritters and halloumi fries among the regular picks. Friday evenings bring wood-fired pizza and sometimes live music, and there is a licensed drinks list for a slower lunch.

Pepsi: deck table, flat white, salty dog asleep under the chair. That is the Lauderdale formula.

Getting there and parking

It sits about 20 to 25 minutes from Hobart by car, with on-street parking along South Arm Road and the surrounding residential streets. Arrive early on weekends and around events because the street fills.

While you're out there

Lauderdale Beach is an easy walk from the door, and the Single Hill walk at Seven Mile Beach is a short drive east for a proper leg stretch.

For an off-lead run on the way back through, Howrah Dog Park works well, and Driftwood Restaurant is the neighbourhood's other dog-accommodating dining option.

Weekday mornings are the quiet window for a relaxed coffee with the dog; weekends and Friday pizza nights draw a crowd, so book ahead for a deck table. More listings are on the TAS cafes guide and the Lauderdale destination page.
