5B2F Bakehouse

5B2F Bakehouse is a busy hole-in-the-wall bakery on Musgrave Avenue in the Chirn Park pocket of Southport, known for serious pastry work. Dogs are welcome in the shared alfresco area out front, which is small, so it suits a quick coffee-and-croissant stop rather than a long sit.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the shared outdoor seating; the bakery is too small and kitchen-focused for indoor dogs. The alfresco area is limited, so it works best for smaller dogs or short visits with a larger one. Water bowls turn up sometimes, but bring your own.

Good to know. The reputation rests on croissants, cronuts and tarts from a decorated pastry chef, plus woodfired sourdough loaves and well-rated pies and sausage rolls. The coffee is good enough to make it a regular breakfast stop.

Getting there. Street parking is available on Musgrave Avenue and the Chirn Park side streets, though it gets busy, so be ready to park a short walk away.

Nearby with the dogs. The Chirn Park precinct around the bakery has pleasant walking streets and a few more outdoor cafes. Broadwater Parklands is a short drive for a longer walk.

Best earlier in the morning before the bakery rush, when you have a better chance at one of the few outdoor tables.
