Bloom PMQ

Bloom PMQ is a central Port Macquarie cafe at 1/74 Clarence Street, a short walk from the waterfront and a tidy dog-friendly stop for coffee and brunch. It is well placed as the start or finish of a coastal walk with the dog.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor alfresco and footpath tables, which makes it easy to pull up for a quick coffee without going inside. Staff are accommodating, but bring your own water bowl. It is a central, busy spot, so it suits a dog that settles calmly beside a table.

Good to know. It is known for quality coffee, local produce and a strong gluten-free offering across breakfast and lunch. Think brunch staples done well rather than a big menu.

Getting there. The address is 1/74 Clarence Street. Street parking is available on Clarence Street and nearby, with waterfront parking close by; both can fill at peak times. It is an easy walk from the Town Green and waterfront.

Nearby with the dogs. The Town Green is a few minutes away for a grassy post-coffee stroll, and the coastal boardwalk runs toward the Breakwall from nearby. Town Beach, with its dog-friendly zone, is a short drive on.

When to go. Mornings are busiest with the brunch crowd; mid-morning on a weekday is the calmest window for a table with the dog. Good for an easy in-town stop between walks.
