Penny Royal is a dog friendly, people friendly easy going local cafe. The location is off Sydney Rd so the pace is a little less hectic. Great food and even our Staffi is happy when we visit.

Approximate cost: $10

Tom, one of the owners of Penny Royale is a beautiful looking, charming man with impeccable customer service skills. He is welcoming to small children in his cafe, providing some indoor and out door toys for their entertainment and forgiving them for their messiness. Its great to actually find a cafe with child-friendly staff. Tom is also and excellent barrista and I can highly recommend his coffees.

The food is great as well, including soldiers on the children's menu and a small range of crowd pleasers on the adults menu.

The only draw back is that one of the rudest and surliest waitresses in the world works there. She has finally turned us off going there, which is a pity because we enjoyed supporting Tom in his business.

Approximate cost: $12
