Fresh Cafe Neutral Bay

Fresh Cafe is a casual local breakfast-and-lunch spot at 202-212 Military Road, Neutral Bay, with footpath tables that make it an easy stop for anyone walking the strip with a dog.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the al fresco footpath tables along Military Road, with room to tuck a lead in beside you. Under NSW food rules, dogs stay out of the indoor seating and food-handling areas, so plan for the outdoor tables. Staff are accommodating, but bring your own collapsible bowl for water.

Good to know. Rated 4.5 across 81 reviews, it draws praise for the coffee and an all-day breakfast, with the omelette, poached eggs and wraps getting named. Open Monday to Saturday 7am to 4pm and Sunday from 7:30am.

Getting there. Free parking sits nearby, including the Coles Neutral Bay car park and street parking on Young Street. Military Road buses run right past the door.

Nearby with the dogs. St Leonards Park is a short walk for a green break, and the harbour paths around Kurraba Point suit a longer on-lead stroll afterwards.

Best mid-morning on a weekday when the footpath tables are free. Good for a straightforward coffee and brunch while running errands on Military Road.
