Green Olive Cafe

Green Olive Cafe is a casual, pet-friendly neighbourhood cafe in Little Bay, NSW, located at Shop 3/1-5 Pine Ave within the Prince Henry Centre complex. The defining draw for dog owners is the large, shaded outdoor dining area where staff actively welcome dogs alongside their owners.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the covered outdoor seating area, which features comfortable seating under trees with enough room for your dog to lounge beside the table. As is standard in NSW, dogs are not permitted inside the main indoor dining area, but the outdoor space is extensive. Staff are known for their friendly approach and often provide water bowls for dogs.

Good to know. The cafe serves high-quality Campos coffee and is highly rated for its generous brunch portions, including bacon and egg rolls, Persian Dukkah and Avocado on Toast, and fresh croissants. The atmosphere is warm and cosy with a welcoming locals vibe that caters well to families and pet owners. Free street parking is available on Pine Avenue and surrounding streets, with a free indoor car park at the back of the shop.

Nearby with the dogs. Green Olive Cafe is surrounded by open green parklands, with Little Bay Beach only a short 5-minute walk away. For other dog-friendly cafe options in the area, head to Coastal Brasserie Malabar, Juice Box Cafe in Malabar, or Bohäus Cafe in Matraville.

When to go. Open 7 days for breakfast and lunch, roughly 6:15 AM to 3:30 PM. Aim for an early weekday morning to secure a shaded outdoor table and a relaxed, quiet setting for your dog.
