Dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area. Water bowls and dog treats are put out for canine visitors, and staff are generally happy to give a pat.

Getting there. 545 Pacific Highway, St Leonards NSW 2065, an easy walk from St Leonards station. Street parking on the Pacific Highway and side streets like Marshall Avenue can be tight during weekend brunch hours, so arrive early.

Go early on weekends to snag an outdoor table before the brunch rush.
