Pipeworks Cafe

Pipeworks Cafe in Bay Park Plaza, 4 Bay Street, is a popular all-day Port Macquarie cafe that takes dogs at its outdoor tables. It is an easy, parking-friendly stop for breakfast or lunch with the dog in tow.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the substantial outdoor seating area, which has shade and greenery, so there is room to settle a larger dog out of the way. Water bowls are generally available on request. Keep dogs to the outdoor section.

Good to know. It is known for its coffee and tidy latte art, generous breakfast and lunch plates and a full menu that runs through the day. A casual local spot rather than a sit-down restaurant.

Getting there. The address is 4 Bay Street, inside Bay Park Plaza, with convenient parking right behind the cafe; that car park is the main reason it is an easy stop with a dog.

Nearby with the dogs. Nobbys Beach, a wide off-leash dog beach, is nearby for a run, and the Port Macquarie coastal walk from Town Beach to Tacking Point is a longer on-lead option.

When to go. Weekday mornings are easiest; it gets busy on weekends. Good for a fuss-free meal with a dog after a beach session.
