Ichiyon cafe

Ichiyon Cafe is a small Japanese-influenced cafe in Tweed Heads known for karaage, onigiri and wagyu burgers. It is a casual, pet-friendly spot for a quick bite with dogs welcome outside.

The dog setup. Dogs are allowed in the outdoor seating area. Staff are friendly, but there is no dedicated water station mentioned, so bring your own bowl. Standard leash etiquette applies and dogs should be well-behaved around other diners.

Good to know. The menu leans Japanese cafe style, with karaage and onigiri getting the most attention alongside specialty wagyu burgers. It is a low-key spot best suited to a relaxed brunch rather than a big group booking.

Getting there. Ichiyon Cafe is in central Tweed Heads, an easy walk from Coolangatta if you are staying nearby. Free street parking is available near the cafe.

Nearby with the dogs. The Tweed River Walk is close by for a stroll after eating, and Coolangatta Beach and Apex Park are both a short drive away.

A good pick for a quiet weekday brunch with the dog at your feet outside.
