Table 1 Espresso Speers Point

Table 1 Espresso sits inside Speers Point Park itself, a modern Australian all-day cafe that doubles as the local pit stop for walkers, cyclists and dog owners using the lakeside park around it.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the spacious outdoor seating area surrounded by the park, on a lead and kept well-behaved around other diners. Water bowls are typically out for thirsty dogs. Indoors is generally kept for people, aside from assistance dogs.

Good to know. Reviewers rate it for generous breakfasts, lamb wraps, eggs benny and Campos coffee, with a casual, family-friendly feel that suits a stop mid-walk.

Getting there. The cafe is at 10-12 Park Road, Speers Point, inside the park itself, with substantial free public parking a short walk away.

Nearby with the dogs. The Speers Point off-leash fenced dog park and the Lake Macquarie foreshore path are both a short stroll from the door, easy to combine with a coffee stop either side of a walk.
