Apache Salute

Apache Salute is an Italian-style cafe on Boundary Street in Paddington, on the edge of Rushcutters Bay, known for quick service, panini and shareable breakfast boards.

Dog setup: dogs are welcome in the streetside outdoor seating on Boundary Street. Keep dogs leashed and close to the table so the footpath stays clear for pedestrians. Water bowls are often available; confirm with staff on the day, and bring your own if you're fussy about it.

Known for: fast coffee and lunch service, a European neighbourhood feel, and the "posto" boards that regulars order for breakfast.

Getting there: the address is 110B Boundary Street, Paddington. Street parking is available on Boundary Street and side streets, but watch for residential permit zones. Edgecliff Station and Oxford Street bus stops are both a short walk away.

Nearby with the dogs: Rushcutters Bay Park is a short walk downhill, with flat paths and open space for a pre or post coffee walk. Paddington Reservoir Gardens is also nearby for a quieter leashed stroll.

A weekday coffee run is the easiest way to get a streetside table without a wait. Good for a quick stop before or after Rushcutters Bay.
