Hub Capp Cafe

Hub Capp Cafe on Grose Street is the North Parramatta all-rounder: open from 6am weekdays and Saturdays (7am on Sundays) through to 3pm, seven days a week. It covers the full morning-to-afternoon stretch, whether you want an early breakfast before work or a long lunch with the dog at your feet.

Visitors report that dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating, which makes it a practical pick for a suburb where cafe courtyards fill up fast. As always with reported policies, a quick word with staff on arrival keeps things smooth, and keeping your dog settled under the table goes a long way.

The vibe

There is a playful streak to the place. Chess sets on the tables have become part of the ritual, and the kitchen covers everything from smashed avo and hash browns to a loaded breakie burger and a steak sandwich. The tiramisu gets singled out by regulars, and if you are feeling fancy there is a tuna carpaccio on offer. It is the kind of menu that suits a group with split breakfast philosophies.

Pepsi: My human lost two games of chess while I supervised the smashed avo. Fair trade.

Pair it with

Grose Street puts you minutes from the Dan Mahoney Reserve fenced dog park for an off-lead run, and the Dam Wall Lookouts walk adds riverside views to the morning. Closer to hand, The Container Parramatta is another North Parramatta stop that takes dogs outside. For more options, browse the NSW dog-friendly cafes list or the North Parramatta destination guide.
