The Cheeky Fork

The Cheeky Fork is a casual breakfast-and-lunch cafe on James Street in central Yeppoon. It stands out for dog owners because the outdoor tables are genuinely set up for pets, with shade, spacing and water on offer rather than just tolerated dogs at a footpath.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area, where umbrella-shaded tables are spaced far enough apart that dogs are not crowded. Water bowls are provided and staff are known to offer pup cups, so this is one of the more dog-ready cafes in town.

Good to know. The kitchen is known for hearty breakfasts, bacon and egg rolls, steak sandwiches and large serves, plus a Little Cheekys menu for kids. Coffee and service are well regarded.

Getting there. Find it at 13 James Street in the heart of Yeppoon. Free street parking is usually available nearby. Note the limited trading days: open Wednesday to Sunday, roughly 6:30am to 2:00pm, and closed Monday and Tuesday.

Nearby with the dogs. Yeppoon Main Beach, the foreshore and the promenade are a short walk away for an on-leash stroll after breakfast.

When to go. A weekday morning avoids the weekend breakfast crowd and makes the shaded outdoor tables easier to claim. Good for owners who want a proper feed with the dog settled comfortably beside them.
