Cock and Hen

Cock and Hen is a local cafe in the Twin Waters Shopping Village, well known among regulars as a dog-friendly stop for coffee and a proper breakfast after the beach. It's an easy, relaxed spot rather than a destination in itself, which is exactly its appeal.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the shaded outdoor dining area, with staff generally happy to have them at the tables. Water bowls are usually put out. Keep dogs leashed and settled next to you while you eat, as it's a shared space with other diners.

Good to know. The menu covers the classics well, chicken parmi, eggs benedict, a falafel burger, and chorizo hash browns among the regulars, plus a solid vegetarian and vegan range. It's open early (6am) most days, with Thursday and Friday stretching into dinner and a happy hour. Live music turns up some evenings.

Getting there. Cock and Hen is at Shop 1/175 Ocean Drive, in the Twin Waters Shopping Village. Free parking is available right in the village car park.

Nearby with the dogs. The off-leash Dog Beach, Mudjimba is a short drive north for a swim before or after coffee, and there's parkland through the Twin Waters residential and resort area for a stroll.

Confirm current dog policy at busier times, since outdoor tables can fill fast on weekend mornings.
