Cafelicious & Co

Cafelicious & Co is a family-owned cafe on Ballantrae Drive in St Andrews, in Sydney's south-west, doing big breakfasts and bigger burgers from early until evening. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables, so you can grab a proper barista coffee without leaving the dog at home.

The dog setup

Dogs on lead are welcome in the outdoor seating along the shopfront. This is a walkway setting rather than a fenced courtyard, so keep your dog tucked in close while foot traffic passes. Staff are friendly and the cafe is family-run, but it is a human-focused menu, so bring your own water bowl and treats for the dog.

What it serves

The menu is broad and the portions are the talking point: the signature Cafelicious Big Bite, a Southern Fried Chicken Burger with chips, Knefi French Toast for the sweet end, big breakfast plates, fresh salads and acai bowls. There are halal options on the board too. It opens early, from 6am on weekdays, and runs through to 8pm, which makes it one of the few dog-friendly options in the area for a late lunch.

Getting there and parking

The cafe is at Shop 1/91 Ballantrae Drive, St Andrews, with free parking in the shopping centre car park directly in front, near the IGA. It is a drive-in suburb, so expect to arrive by car rather than on foot from the station.

Close by with the dogs

If the dog needs a proper run after brunch, the Raby Dog Training Facility is a few minutes away, fully fenced with agility equipment, and Minto Fenced Dog Park is another fenced off-lead option nearby. In Campbelltown itself, Too Good Cafe on Queen Street is a dog-friendly backup.

Weekend mornings get busy with the local brunch crowd, so arrive early for an outdoor table with room for a settled dog. Pawscapes has more dog friendly cafes in NSW and other St Andrews places to try with the dog.
