The Other Bird

The Other Bird is a modern Australian cafe on Margaret Street in East Toowoomba doing breakfast and lunch. For dog owners the draw is the sunny, turf-lined outdoor area, which is a genuinely comfortable spot to sit with a dog rather than an afterthought bit of footpath.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating, noted for its sunny spots and turf underfoot. Seating with the dog is limited to the exterior area rather than indoors. Bring your own water bowl to be safe. Free puppuccinos are often available on weekends, which is a nice touch if you are making a morning of it.

Good to know. The menu is modern Australian breakfast and lunch with fresh, seasonal ingredients, and it opens early. It is a well-regarded breakfast spot, so weekends fill up.

Getting there and parking. It is on Margaret Street near the centre of town, with on-street parking on Margaret Street and the surrounding residential streets.

Nearby with the dogs. Queens Park and its off-leash area are close for a pre- or post-coffee walk, and there are other dog-friendly cafes within a short stroll on the same strip.

Arrive early on weekends to claim a turf table in the sun, then walk it off at Queens Park.
