Pacino's Cafe

Pacino's Cafe is a busy, casual brunch spot on Addison Street in the heart of Shellharbour Village, a staple with locals for years. For dog owners the setup is simple: the outdoor footpath tables are where you and your dog sit, close to the waterfront and good for people-watching.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables along the wide Addison Street footpath. Indoor dining is people only. Service is friendly and staff will often bring out a water bowl, though it is worth carrying your own portable bowl on busier mornings.

Good to know. The cafe serves Vittoria coffee and hearty breakfast, brunch and lunch plates. It opens early, generally from around 6:30am to mid-afternoon, so it suits an after-walk coffee.

Getting there. Street parking runs directly along Addison Street but turns over slowly on weekends. Side streets and the parking near the harbour are usually the better bet at peak times.

Nearby with the dogs. The Shellharbour foreshore is a short walk down to the water, and the coastal path along the nearby cliffs makes an easy loop before or after your table is ready.
