The Pialligo Bakesmith is a garden-setting cafe on Beltana Road in Pialligo, rated 4.6 from 256 reviews. Dog owners head here for the leafy outdoor tables and house-made pastries that make a long brunch easy to justify.

Dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the extensive outdoor garden area, where tables sit surrounded by greenery. They are restricted to the outdoor spaces and not permitted indoors. Keep your dog on a leash and settled around other diners and staff. Water bowls are typically provided.

Known for. House-made pastries, viennoiserie, and cinnamon buns draw the crowds, alongside a solid brunch and lunch menu covering salmon benedict, chilli scramble, and ratatouille. Coffee is highly rated.

Getting there and parking. Free on-site parking is available and the venue is wheelchair accessible. Reach it by car from Canberra city or Queanbeyan.

Max's takegerman shepherd
Garden seating means close-quarters passing traffic from staff and other diners. Pick a table toward the edge, keep the leash short, and settle your dog before food arrives.

The cafe runs Wednesday to Sunday for breakfast, brunch and lunch. For a post-meal walk afterward, the Pialligo Redwood Forest is a short drive away.
