Sunrise Cafe(South Bunbury)

Sunrise Cafe is a neighbourhood stop at Shop 10, 123 Spencer Street, South Bunbury, that mixes coffee and homemade treats with Australia Post and Lotterywest counters under one roof. It is the kind of place you combine with an errand on a dog walk rather than plan a morning around, and it runs on weekday hours only: 7am to 2:45pm, closed weekends.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome at the street-side outdoor seating along Spencer Street, on a lead. There is no indoor option for pets, and no dedicated dog menu, so this is a coffee-and-pat stop rather than a feeding stop. Ask staff for a water bowl and they will bring one out, but on a hot Bunbury morning it is worth having your own in the car.

Worth knowing

The food is simple and fresh: specialty coffee, sandwiches and light breakfast or lunch plates, with the post office and lottery counters keeping a steady local trade through the middle of the day. Because the cafe is small and Spencer Street carries steady foot traffic, a mid-morning weekday visit is the easiest slot for a dog that prefers calm.

Getting there and parking

Street parking runs directly along Spencer Street out the front, and the surrounding South Bunbury residential streets make it an easy walk-in stop if you are already out with the dog.

Close by with the dogs

Lions Park Fenced Dog Park in Withers is the secure off-lead option nearby, Nettleton Park covers the Glen Iris side, and Pelican Point Beach adds a sand-and-water leg to the loop.

More options are on the Western Australia dog friendly cafes guide and the South Bunbury destination page.

Pepsi: do the errand with the dog, then claim the footpath table. Post run, flat white, everyone wins.
