Pet policy
Dogs are welcome at the footpath tables out front, and the cafe has built a devoted local following on the strength of its hand-made bagels. The name says it: hand-made bagels are the headline, sweet and savoury, alongside good coffee.
Breaking Bread is a small bagel-focused cafe on Commercial Street East in the middle of Mount Gambier, central enough to reach on foot from most of the CBD. Dogs are welcome at the footpath tables out front, and the cafe has built a devoted local following on the strength of its hand-made bagels.
The dog setup
Dogs are welcome in the front outdoor seating on the footpath. The tables sit directly off the street, so you can settle in without passing through the indoor area, which keeps things simple with a dog. Staff are friendly towards canine customers; bring your own water bowl for busier periods.
The menu
The name says it: hand-made bagels are the headline, sweet and savoury, alongside good coffee. It is a tidy spot for a quick breakfast or a takeaway bagel pack for the road. The cafe trades Tuesday to Friday from 7am, Saturday from 8am, closing at 2pm each day, and stays shut on Mondays and Sundays, so plan around it.
Getting there and parking
The cafe is at 13 Commercial Street East, with free street parking along Commercial Street and public car parks a short walk away. The CBD block is flat and easy to wander with a dog on the lead.
Close by with the dogs
Vansittart Park is a short drive away for green space, and the Blue Lake loop is the classic Mount Gambier walk to pair with breakfast. The Hastings Cunningham Reserve fenced dog park covers the off-lead run, and Presto Eatery is another dog-friendly local cafe if you are staying a few days.
More dog-friendly venues around the city are on the Mount Gambier destination page, with the wider list in the SA cafes index.
