Toast 2230

Toast 2230 sits on Foreshore Boulevard in the Woolooware Bay precinct, a short distance from the Cronulla Sharks stadium, and has become the local pick for homestyle brunch cooking and easy-going service. Dogs are welcome across its outdoor seating, which is the majority of the room when the weather is kind.

The dog setup

The partially covered outdoor patio welcomes dogs, with water bowls regularly put out and the occasional treat passed over the counter. Foreshore Boulevard carries steady foot traffic from the surrounding walkways, so keep your dog on lead and tucked close to the table. The patio is roomy enough for larger dogs to settle without blocking the way.

The vibe

It is a casual, family-friendly cafe rather than a scene, popular with locals for all-day breakfast, corn and zucchini fritters, acai bowls and a properly good bacon and egg roll. The drinks list is licensed, so weekend brunch can run long. Doors open at 7am daily, with a 2pm or 3pm close depending on the day. Weekend mornings and stadium event days are the busy spells; a weekday visit usually means the pick of the outdoor tables.

Getting there and parking

Street parking is available nearby, though it tightens on weekends and around Sharks home games, so time your visit accordingly. The surrounding streets and waterfront paths are flat and easy, which makes an on-lead walk in from the residential side straightforward.

Pair it with

The Woolooware Bay walking paths run right alongside the cafe for an on-lead stroll before or after. Apsley Place fenced dog park at Taren Point is close by for an off-lead run, and on warm days the Greenhills Beach dog off-lead area is worth the drive. Playground Cafe and Bar on Wills Road is another dog friendly option in the suburb.
