Corner 99 Cafe

Corner 99 Cafe sits in the small shopping strip on Alfred Street in Narraweena, and dogs are welcome at the outdoor footpath tables out the front. It is a compact local cafe that does breakfast, brunch and lunch from 6am on weekdays, closing mid afternoon on weekdays and at noon on Saturdays.

The dog setup

Dogs on a lead can settle in at the pavement seating in front of the shop. The footpath space is narrow, so it suits a calm dog that will sit close to the table, and staff are easygoing about dogs when the strip is not heaving. Ask for a water bowl if one has not appeared.

The vibe

This is the suburb's local: good coffee, a solid bacon and egg roll and a banana bread that people come back for, served by owners who know their regulars. Prices sit in the affordable range. Saturday mornings get busy and the tight footpath tightens further, so a weekday visit is the relaxed version.

Getting there

The cafe is at Shop 1, 99 Alfred Street, in the Narraweena shops. Street parking runs along Alfred Street and the surrounding residential streets, and it is an easy stop on a walk between Narraweena and the beaches to the north.

Max: this is a pavement-table venue with a real footpath running past it, so park the dog against the wall side and leave the through-line clear.

Pair it with

For an off-leash run before breakfast, Curl Curl Dog Park is a short drive down the hill. DY Local in Dee Why is the other proven dog-tolerant coffee stop in this part of the Northern Beaches.
