Our Little Ray of Sunshine

Our Little Ray of Sunshine is a brunch cafe on Station Street, Sandringham, close to the station and beach. The covered front verandah makes it one of the more dog-comfortable options in the village, usable even in cooler weather.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the street-side seating and under the large front verandah, which has cafe blinds for shelter. Water bowls are provided and puppuccinos are on offer. Staff are noted as welcoming to dogs.

Good to know. A modern Australian brunch and lunch menu, with an egg and bacon roll, smashed avocado, halloumi bruschetta and steak sandwiches, plus milkshakes and matcha. A popular stop for locals coming off a beach walk.

Getting there. 50 Station Street, Sandringham. Street parking on Station Street and side streets, and very close to Sandringham Station.

Nearby with the dogs. Sandringham Beach and the foreshore path are a short walk for a run before or after, with several reserves nearby for green space.
