The North Spoon

The North Spoon is a rustic-chic cafe at 165 Blues Point Road, McMahons Point, serving modern Australian brunch and specialty coffee with outdoor seating that looks towards the Harbour Bridge. The single reason to bring your dog: a leafy, dog-friendly terrace that locals already treat as a regular walking-and-coffee stop.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome on the outdoor terrace and footpath seating only - indoor dining is humans-only, so plan for al fresco. Water bowls are often provided and staff are generally welcoming, but the non-negotiables are standard: dogs must stay on-leash at all times, behave well, and not disturb other guests.

Known for. Cosy terrace seating with Harbour Bridge views, a leafy residential-pocket setting, and a reputation as a bustling local favourite, particularly at brunch. The coffee and fresh-ingredient menu pull repeat visits from McMahons Point regulars.

Getting there & parking. Street parking is available on Blues Point Road and surrounding streets, but check time limits carefully. If you prefer public transport, nearby buses and a short walk from either North Sydney station or McMahons Point Wharf (ferry) get you there without the car.

Nearby with the dogs. McMahons Point and its neighbouring suburbs have several dog-friendly cafe options worth pairing with a harbour walk: Cool Mac in Kirribilli, Altitude Coffee House in Milsons Point, and Third Rail Cafe Waverton a little further north.

When to go. Arrive early on weekends if you want a terrace table with a harbour view, it gets busy at brunch. Good for social, leashed dogs who are comfortable settling at a footpath table while their owner eats.
