About Wagtails Cafe Food Truck
Wagtails Cafe Food Truck is a locally owned food truck parked permanently on Pallarenda Road at Rowes Bay, and it calls itself the home of the Brekky Bagel. That's the thing to order. Locals talk about the warm, fresh bagels, and there's a gluten-free bacon and egg bagel for those who need one. Egg and bacon rolls get a good word too, with a decent-sized bun and the right amount of filling. If you'd rather a halloumi or avocado and fetta bagel, people have been pleased with those as well.
The coffee has its own following. We hear it's made with care and comes out smooth, whether you're after a cappuccino, a flat white or a long black with almond milk. Real fruit smoothies and iced drinks are on the menu too.
Part of the appeal is the setting. You can sit at the outdoor tables under the trees with a view over the bay, or take your order and stroll along the foreshore. Takeaway, dine-in and kerbside pickup are all available, and the wheelchair-accessible parking, entrance, seating and toilet make it easy for most visitors. Ordering ahead is possible, which people like on a busy morning.
Staff get plenty of praise for being friendly and quick, and the prices are considered good value for a spot with this outlook. It's a morning business, so check the days and hours before you go, as it's closed early in the week. For breakfast in Rowes Bay, this is a bakery-style stop locals are happy to point you towards.
