About Bistro 19

Bistro 19 anchors Sanctuary Cove mornings with swift service, hearty cafe fare, and a breezy shaded terrace tailored for dogs and diners alike. Locals plug right into The Cove lifestyle over scrambled eggs folded with feta and chives, stack-sized omelets, and espresso pulled to order from light or dark roasts. Kitchen tickets move fast even during peak morning rushes, landing plates of eggs Benedict alongside cold-pressed juices and iced lattes. Celiac diners order safely from a separate gluten-free menu, while four-legged regulars lounge outdoors over cups of house peanut butter and bacon ice cream.

  • Canine-Friendly Terrace: Dedicated shaded alfresco seating welcomes dogs with custom peanut butter and bacon ice cream.
  • Dedicated Gluten-Free Menu: A full standalone menu gives celiac and gluten-sensitive diners confident morning options.
  • Dual Espresso Roasts: Espresso orders come tailored with a choice of light or dark bean roast profiles.
