Cafe Vita

Cafe Vita is the health-focused cafe attached to Vita Health Club on Penshurst Street, a quieter Willoughby option for a post-walk coffee with the dog at your feet.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor, street-front seating along Penshurst Street. As the cafe sits inside a gym, indoor seating is off-limits to dogs. Staff are accommodating outside and water bowls are generally available. Keep dogs leashed and clear of the footpath.

Good to know. The menu leans healthy, acai bowls, smoothies and protein-forward brunch food, with quality coffee from The Little Marionette.

Getting there. Cafe Vita is at 83 Penshurst Street, Willoughby. Street parking runs along Penshurst Street and nearby side streets but can be tight at peak times. Several bus routes service Penshurst Street.

Nearby with the dogs. Willoughby Park is a short walk away for on-leash exercise, and Bales Park in Chatswood is another option nearby.

Weekday mornings are the easiest time to grab outdoor seating before the gym crowd arrives.
