About Double Barrel Kitchen

Tucked into Mermaid Waters, this neighborhood cafe pairs serious espresso with hearty, unpretentious morning fare. Locals stop by for their daily iced long black and plates of chilli scramble or savoury mince—served by a crew that greets regular faces by name. Dogs lounge comfortably in the outdoor seating, where dual east and west orientations catch winter sun or welcome summer shade. Plates run generous: rustic avocado on sourdough with a poached egg, chicken and bacon hash, and coffee beans available in retail bags on your way out.

  • All-Season Outdoor Seating: Outdoor seating spans both the east and west sides of the building, providing optimal morning sun in winter and shade in summer.
  • Dog-Friendly Patio: Patrons regularly dine with their dogs in the shaded outdoor sections after morning walks.
  • Take-Home Coffee Beans: Packs of coffee beans in multiple bag sizes are available for purchase at the counter for home brewing.
