Cafe on South Bay

Cafe on South Bay is a neighbourhood breakfast cafe on South Bay Drive, Varsity Lakes, right by the lakefront. It is a well-liked spot to pull up with the dog after a lap of the lake, with undercover outdoor seating and Campos coffee.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the undercover outdoor tables. Staff are noted as accommodating to pets and water is frequently provided. The outdoor area gets busy on weekends, so arriving early gives you and the dog a better spot.

Good to know. The kitchen is known for a consistent breakfast, with the Big Breakfast, the veggie breakfast with poached eggs and the steak sandwich getting the most mentions, plus reliable Campos coffee and friendly, efficient service.

Getting there. Street parking runs along South Bay Drive and the nearby residential streets, generally easy to find but tighter during the weekend breakfast peak.

Nearby with the dogs. The paved path circling Varsity Lakes is steps away, which is exactly why the cafe works as a post-walk stop rather than a destination on its own.

When to go. Weekday mornings or early on the weekend, before the lakeside crowd arrives and the outdoor tables fill.
