Bohäus Cafe(Matraville)

Bohaus Cafe on Bunnerong Road is a solid coffee stop for a Matraville dog walk, with outdoor and footpath tables set up for it. Dogs stick to the courtyard and footpath seating, not the indoor counter, and the crew treats regulars' pups like part of the furniture.

The setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor, footpath and courtyard tables. Indoor seating is humans-only, standard for a food-registered NSW cafe. No entry fee, no booking needed, just keep your dog leashed and close to the table so the footpath stays clear for other patrons and prams. Staff will usually bring a water bowl out if you ask, but carry your own collapsible bowl and treats to be safe.

Known for. Artisan coffee and flat whites, toasted sandwiches, hot dogs and a rotating tray of baked goods. It is a genuine neighbourhood hub, busy with locals and their dogs on weekend mornings.

Getting there. On Bunnerong Road in the middle of Matraville, an easy trip from Maroubra, Chifley or Botany. Street parking runs along Bunnerong Road and the side streets, watch for timed limits if you plan to linger. Local bus routes stop close by.

Nearby with the dogs. Heffron Park for open-field off-leash time, Malabar Headland for a coastal walk, or Yarra Bay Beach if your dog likes a paddle in calm water.

When to go. Weekday mornings are quieter for a relaxed sit; weekends fill the footpath tables fast, so get there early if you want a spot with the dog.
