The Second Home Cafe - Windsor

The Second Home Cafe sits at 2/100 George Street in historic Windsor, serving breakfast and brunch daily from 7am to 3pm. Dogs are welcome at the street-side outdoor tables, which is the detail that matters when the whole family is out along the Hawkesbury.

The dog setup

Dogs stay on lead at the outdoor seating only; indoors is off limits. Bring your own water bowl rather than relying on one being supplied, and pick a table away from the George Street foot traffic if your dog prefers space, because weekends along the main strip get busy.

The vibe

The kitchen turns out brunch staples such as eggs Benedict and smashed avocado, plus burgers and salads for lunch, with a solid run of vegetarian and vegan options. The signature order is the coffee in a cone, and fresh juices cover the non-coffee drinkers.

Getting there

The cafe sits on Windsor's main street, with free street parking along George Street and the surrounding roads. The entrance is wheelchair accessible, and you can order ahead through the Second Home Cafe website if you are timing a walk around it.

While you're out there

The Hawkesbury River banks are a short walk away for an on-lead stretch, and Windsor's historic Thompson Square sits right on the main street if you want somewhere green to settle after brunch. For a proper run first, the Northey Street Park Fenced Dog Park and the Windsor Off leash dog area are both close, with the Pool Park Fenced Dog Park one suburb over in South Windsor.

Pepsi: outdoor tables only, lead stays on, and the cones are for the humans. Worth it anyway, because Windsor mornings along George Street are a good place to be a well behaved dog.

More coffee options are on the New South Wales dog friendly cafes guide and the Windsor destination page.
