Curio Cafe

Curio Cafe on Clovelly Road is a cozy, community-minded all-day breakfast and lunch spot that has built a genuine reputation as a dog-friendly local favourite, not just a place that tolerates dogs.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcomed in the outdoor alfresco seating. No dog-entry fee. Leads are required and dogs need to stay close to your table, clear of foot traffic. Staff regularly put out water bowls and treats, and a puppuccino is a common extra for visiting dogs.

Good to know. It's known for specialty coffee, homemade sweet treats, and a hearty breakfast and lunch menu, with staff who make a point of greeting dogs as much as their owners.

Getting there. Open daily, 7am to 4pm. It's on Clovelly Road, reachable by local buses or the CBD and South East Light Rail (Randwick stop is closest). Paid, timed street parking runs along Clovelly Road and side streets.

Nearby with the dogs. Centennial Parklands is a short walk or drive away with large off-leash areas, Fred Hollows Reserve is close by for a quieter on-leash walk, and Clovelly Beach is a further drive for a coastal stretch, with leash rules varying by path and time of day, so check before you go.

A solid weekday breakfast stop, and busy enough on weekends that an early sit is worth it if you want a table with the dog.
