Carlo's Wagga Wagga

Carlo's is a busy all-day breakfast and lunch cafe on Morgan Street, and the one local owners point to first when someone asks where they can bring the dog. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables, and staff are known for carrying a water bowl over without being asked.

The dog setup. Dogs join you in the footpath and outdoor seating area only, not inside. Staff regularly bring water to the table. The outdoor area fills up on weekend mornings, so it pays to arrive early or be ready to wait.

Good to know. The kitchen turns out eggs benedict, generous breakfast plates and good coffee, with a solid range of gluten-free options. Service gets consistently strong reviews for being friendly and quick.

Getting there. You will find it at 1/195 Morgan St, near the Docker Street end. There is free street parking nearby plus a free car park within easy reach, so a coffee stop after a morning walk is straightforward.

Nearby with the dogs. Wollundry Lagoon is a short stroll for a scenic on-lead loop, and Wagga Beach on the Murrumbidgee River is a quick drive for a longer run along the bank.

Best as a weekday breakfast or a weekend mid-morning if you do not mind the crowd. Bring your own bowl as a backup on hot days.
