Stonewall Cafe Kiama (Australian and Filipino food)

Stonewall is a cafe at Shop 2/8 Manning Street in central Kiama that pairs classic Australian cafe fare with traditional Filipino dishes and sweets. It has both a courtyard and front outdoor seating, which gives you a couple of dog-friendly options close to the town centre.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor dining and courtyard areas. Indoor seating is people only. Staff are accommodating with pets and will usually bring a water bowl, though it is worth carrying your own to be sure. The courtyard is the calmer of the two spots if your dog prefers to be out of the street flow.

Known for. Filipino favourites including the shaved-ice dessert halo-halo, alongside the usual burgers, sandwiches and coffee. There are vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options on the menu too.

Getting there and parking. It is in the heart of the Kiama town centre. Free street parking is generally available along Manning Street or the adjacent cross streets, busier in peak season.

Nearby with the dogs. Black Beach is practically around the corner for a coastal walk, the Blowhole Reserve is roughly a ten-minute on-lead walk away, and Kendalls Beach is a short drive south with on-lead access at set times, so check the signage.

Pick the courtyard for a quieter sit. Quietest on weekday mornings before the lunch crowd.
