The Tea Club Cafe

What it is. The Tea Club is a long-running Nowra cafe at 46 Berry Street with a large, leafy garden courtyard out the back - the reason it works for dogs. Leashed dogs are welcome in that outdoor garden area, well off the main street, while the indoor seating stays people-only.

The setup. The courtyard is covered and spacious, with plenty of tables tucked away from foot traffic. It is a calm, green spot that suits a settled dog. Staff will usually bring a water bowl, but bring your own to be safe on a busy day.

Known for. Hearty home-style breakfast and lunch, with vegetarian and gluten-free options, good coffee and a broad tea list. Live music turns up in the courtyard from time to time, so pick a quieter session if your dog is noise-shy. The cafe sits opposite the Nowra cinema.

Getting there. Street parking runs along Berry Street, with more in the surrounding streets and behind the shops. It is central and easy to find on foot.

Nearby. The Shoalhaven riverfront walk is a few minutes away for a leashed stroll before or after, and the wider Nowra CBD strip is walkable if you want to stretch the visit out.
