Caffene Break Runaway Bay

Caffene Break is a local brunch spot at Shop C, 8 Bayview Street, Runaway Bay, popular with early risers and known among locals as a genuinely welcoming stop for dogs.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor courtyard seating area (not indoors), with heaters on hand for cooler mornings. Keep dogs leashed and settled beside the table. Staff are pet owners themselves, so expect a friendly welcome, though it is worth bringing your own water bowl to be safe.

Known for. Quality Merlo coffee and a solid breakfast menu, savoury mince and roasted veggie frittata among the regulars. Opens early, from around 5:30am.

Getting there. The cafe is near the Runaway Bay shopping strip with free parking available nearby.

Nearby with the dogs. Runaway Bay Marina is a few minutes' walk for a scenic waterside stroll. For more room to run, Broadwater Parklands and Paradise Point Parklands are both a short drive north.
