humble cafe

humble cafe on Nesbit Street is a trendy, highly rated brunch spot in central Southport, with Asian-leaning brunch and a footpath area that welcomes dogs. It is popular and fills fast, so the trade-off is inventive food against tight outdoor seating on busy mornings.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating and footpath sections around the cafe. Staff are accommodating and will provide water bowls on request, though bringing your own is sensible. Because weekend mornings get busy, a well-socialised dog that settles quietly under the table works best.

Good to know. The menu leans inventive, with the soft shell crab benedict, potato rosti and chilli crab scrambled eggs among the signatures, plus a strong run of vegetarian and vegan options and creative drinks. It trades daytime hours and is closed Tuesdays, so check before you head over.

Getting there. Free on-street parking and nearby free lots are available, though street spots fill during peak brunch hours. It is a short walk from the Southport CBD tram stops.

Nearby with the dogs. James Overell Park on Brighton Parade is a short waterfront walk away. Broadwater Parklands has kilometres of leashed paths, and Musgrave Park has a dedicated off-leash area.

Best earlier in the day, especially weekends, when the footpath tables go quickly.
