Bay Run Coffee & Bistro Rodd Point

Bay Run Coffee & Bistro sits on First Avenue in Rodd Point, right on the Bay Run loop around Iron Cove. It is a casual neighbourhood spot for Campos coffee and a bistro-style breakfast or lunch, popular with the walkers and runners who pass by all day.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables, which sit right alongside the walking path, making it an easy stop mid-walk. Staff are generally accommodating of dogs, though it is worth confirming water bowls and any rules on the day. Keep dogs leashed and close so they do not block the path, which gets busy with foot and bike traffic.

Good to know. The cafe is known for its coffee, casual brunch and bistro lunch menu, and its friendly, locals-heavy vibe thanks to the constant stream of Bay Run traffic past the door.

Getting there. The address is 54 First Avenue, Rodd Point. Walking or cycling in via the Bay Run is the easiest approach. Street parking on First Avenue and nearby streets is limited and gets busier on weekend mornings.

Nearby with the dogs. The Bay Run's 7-kilometre path around Iron Cove is right outside, and Nield Park is a short stroll away for a break from the path with water views.

When to go. Weekday mornings are quieter for a relaxed coffee stop. Weekend mornings draw the biggest Bay Run crowds, so expect a wait for outdoor tables if you arrive with the pack.
