Basin Cafe

Basin Cafe sits at 3 Wilson Street by Wollongong Harbour, overlooking Belmore Basin. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor and footpath seating, which comes with harbour views, so it makes a scenic stop on a walk around the basin.

The dog setup. Dogs join you at the outdoor footpath tables looking over the water, not inside. It is widely listed as a dog-friendly cafe; bring your own water bowl on a busy day, as one is not guaranteed.

Good to know. The draw is the harbour outlook plus a brunch menu of bacon and egg rolls, fish tacos, crepes, acai bowls and good coffee, with friendly, attentive staff. It pairs well with a loop of the basin and breakwater.

Getting there. Basin Cafe is on Wilson Street near the Boat Harbour Motel, by the harbour. There is parking around Belmore Basin and along the surrounding streets, busier on weekends.

Nearby with the dogs. The Belmore Basin and breakwater paths run right past for an on-lead harbour walk, with the lighthouse a few minutes north. Coniston Dog Beach, the nearest off-leash sand, is a short drive south.
