Chubby Magpie Coffee Roasters

Chubby Magpie Coffee Roasters is a family-run roastery and coffee house at U2/71 Eyre St, North Ward, a few blocks back from The Strand. It opens very early and takes its coffee seriously, which makes it a good first stop before a morning walk.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the covered outdoor seating area off Eyre Street. The detail worth knowing: they make a house "Doggos Breakfast" treat, a bacon-wrapped oat and egg frittata, so your dog gets its own order rather than just a bowl of water. Bring your own water too, given the heat.

Good to know. Hours suit early risers, roughly 5am to 1pm on weekdays and 5am to noon Saturday, closed Sundays. As a roastery the coffee is the headline, freshly roasted, with beans to take home.

Getting there. Street parking is on Eyre Street and the surrounding North Ward streets, and it is an easy walk from The Strand.

Nearby with the dogs. The Strand promenade is a few blocks away for the main walk, and other North Ward cafes with outdoor seating are close by if you are making a morning of it.
