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.

The vibe

The kitchen is known for quality coffee, local produce and a strong gluten free offering across breakfast and lunch, with brunch staples done well rather than a big menu. Doors run 7am to 2pm daily, so it is a morning and lunch stop rather than an afternoon one.

Getting there

Street parking sits on Clarence Street and nearby, with waterfront parking close by, and both can fill at peak times. It is an easy walk from the Town Green. Mornings are busiest with the brunch crowd, so mid morning on a weekday is the calmest window for a table with the dog.

While you're out there

The Town Green is a few minutes away for a grassy post coffee stroll, and the coastal boardwalk runs toward the Breakwall from nearby. The sand at Nobbys Beach is the closest off leash swim, and Stuart Park Fenced Dog Park adds a fully fenced option with separate big and small dog zones. For another table, Haus of Alma is a short hop away.
