You’ll have to be quick to grab a table outside this bustling cafe smack bang on Railway Parade. Hylin has been leading the brunch game in Perth for yonks and the leafy little alfresco attracts plenty of folks and their furry companions. The streetx chicken croissant or cinnamon doughnut french toast are spot on for a bit of weekend indulgence and the classics like mushrooms on toast and smashed avo are just as good too.

Someday Coffee Co

445 Cambridge Street, Floreat

Equal parts pretty and polished, Someday is a Floreat fave for good reason. Think light-filled interiors, soft tones and an easygoing courtyard setup that’s perfect for settling in with your pup. The menu leans fresh and wholesome, with everything from fluffy pancakes to full brekkies done right, alongside consistently excellent coffee. It’s the kind of spot that makes a casual coffee run turn into a long, lingering catch-up.

Babylon Café

656 Newcastle Street, Leederville

Babylon is a solid option for courtyard hangs, great coffee and a steady stream of very cute dogs—so much so there’s a whole highlights reel dedicated to the Dogs of Babylon. It’s an easy pick for a casual catch-up with your pup in tow, especially when the sun’s out. And if the sticky buns are on the counter, consider it a non-negotiable.

Been a long week? Take your dog for a stroll to Stomp Coffee in North Perth. This leafy green oasis is all about good coffee and good vibes, making it a great place to relax and lounge around in their courtyard with your pets. The food here is sensational, and you’ll want to wash down their weekly special with a house-roasted coffee. 

Chu Bakery

498 William Street, Highgate

Yes, there’ll be a line—but trust us, it’s worth it. Join the queue, grab something flaky and delicious (plus a coffee, obviously), then head straight across to Hyde Park for all the walks with your pup. It’s less about lingering here and more about setting yourself up for a very good park date.

Parkside Coffee

2 Church Street, Perth

This cute hole-in-the-wall coffee shop on Stuart Street in Perth is your next stop to explore with your furry friend. This coffee window is the brainchild of Alex from Daylight Coffee and the team at Miller and Baker, bringing delicious coffee and pastry goodness to the park. Pull up a milk crate, sit on a picnic rug or go for a stroll around the park. Bliss.

Mount Street Breakfast Bar

42 Mount Street, West Perth

At the base of Kings Park near Jacob’s Ladder, Mount Street Breakfast Bar is a local hang-out for the post-workout crowd—fair enough, you’ll need it after all those steps. The covered verandah, shaded by jacaranda trees, is dog-friendly, so your pup can join while you catch your breath.

The menu more than pulls its weight, with cult-fave Turkish eggs served with cucumber, garlic labneh, aleppo and gremolata, while we’re also here for the crispy falafel, spanakopita and a seriously good French toast topped with roasted peach, whipped ricotta, almond and spiced honey syrup.

Daisies

Cottesloe

Everyone’s favourite neighbourhood haunt in Cottesloe does healthy takeaway food (think chia pods and lunch boxes) just as well as they do comfort foods like baked bean jaffles, bacon ‘n’ egg muffins and sausage rolls. With a sunny alfresco area and a patch of lawn right next to the tables, bringing your dog with you for breakfast is most certainly encouraged at Daisies. 

Yelo North Beach

Shop 1 105/109 Flora Terrace, North Beach

Set along the Flora Terrace strip (just a short stroll from the coast), Yelo is a go-to for post-walk refuels with your pup. There are loads of picnic seating out front, making it an easy spot to park up with your dog while you dive into seriously good coffee, fresh juices and acai or smoothie bowls. The zucchini slice is a standout—don’t skip it.

Canteen Trigg

364 West Coast Drive, Trigg

With one of the most magical views going around, Canteen is a no-brainer for a beachside bite with your pup. There are loads of outdoor seating where dogs are more than welcome, making it easy to settle in and soak it all up. On the menu, think killer fish and chips, poke bowls and burgers, or acai if you’re starting early. You can even grab a drink from Island Market next door and make a proper session of it.

Rise & Grind

255A Scarborough Beach Road, Doubleview

The crew at Rise & Grind are just as obsessed with your dog as you are, so expect all sorts of attention for your pup while you settle in. The menu delivers where it counts—think zucchini, corn and feta fritters topped with poached eggs, smashed avo and hollandaise, or savoury waffles (it’s a yes from us). Come hungry, and maybe keep a close eye on your plate—those puppy eyes are hard to resist.

Lot One Kitchen

Lot 1/46 Angove Drive, Hillarys

Always buzzing (and usually full of dogs), Lot One Kitchen is a winner whether you’re rolling in post-beach for a quick coffee or settling in for a full-blown brekky. The big outdoor area makes it easy to bring your pup along, and there’s always a steady stream of wagging tails to keep things lively.

On the menu, the brisket is the hero—slow-cooked and stacked on a potato rosti and with lashings of chipotle hollandaise. If you’re leaning toward sweet and salty, the bacon pancake stack with maple syrup and pecan praline is just as hard to pass up. It does get epically busy, so book ahead if you can, or make the most of the coffee window for a quick takeaway.

Union Kitchen

33 Ocean Falls Boulevard, Mindarie

If you’re keen to level up your usual coffee run, Union Kitchen at Mindarie Marina delivers—with waterfront views and a breezy alfresco setup that’s made for long, lazy mornings with your pup. Dogs are very much part of the experience here, with their own dedicated menu featuring everything from puppacinos to more over-the-top treats that’ll have tails wagging before your coffee even lands.

For you, expect a solid brunch lineup and good coffee to match, all served with those marina views as the backdrop. It’s an easy choice when you want something a little more elevated without leaving your dog behind.

Holly Rayes

3C James Street, Bassendean

You’ll spot Holly Rayes before you even walk in, thanks to the exterior mural by Anya Brock featuring the owner’s dog, Angus—a pretty clear sign that dogs are more than welcome here. And they’re not just tolerated, they’re encouraged.

Inside, expect excellent coffee from Micrology Coffee Roasters and a lineup of divine baked goods, plus doggy slices made with love using all-natural ingredients—so your pup doesn’t miss out either.

Steam Haus

202 Whatley Crescent, Maylands

Steam Haus nails the brief with excellent coffee, seriously good baked goods (almost too pretty to eat) and a relaxed back verandah that’s perfect for settling in with your pup. The team here are big fans of visiting fur babies, so don’t be surprised if your dog gets just as much attention as your order.

Finlay & Sons

917 Beaufort Street, Inglewood

Little Stove

Shop 97/103 Harris Street, Bicton

This neighbourhood cafe in the heart of Bicton loves dogs almost more than they love people. With dog bowls at the ready outside and dog treats and trinkets waiting up at the counter, you’ll receive nothing but a warm welcome when you arrive with your furry friend. While you’re there, it would be rude not to grab one of their delicious daily specials made from fresh, local ingredients—you’ll thank us.

The Orange Box

Leighton Beach

This kiosk is completely alfresco, and with the beach only 50 meters away, it’s the perfect pit-stop to fuel up after you’ve taken the dog for a walk. There’s plenty of space and seating, from hanging hammocks, beach chairs and an oval right out the front for your pooch to run around on while you sip your morning coffee or freshly squeezed orange juice.

The Little Concept

7 Wray Avenue, Fremantle

The Little Concept might sound low-key, but this Freo favourite is anything but. Set in a bright, light-industrial space, it’s all about next-level drinks and feel-good bites, with blackboards lining the walls listing an impressive lineup of options—from handmade chai and matcha to red espresso and peanut butter hot chocolate. If you’re settling in, the long communal table is perfect for a slow morning or a bit of laptop time, ideally with a slice of their cult-fave honey cake on hand.

Dogs are more than welcome too, with plenty of space out front to park up—and if they’re on their best behaviour, they might even score a spot inside alongside you.

Good Things Café

128 Wellington Street, Mosman Park

Just a short stroll from Mosman Beach—where your pup can sneak in a paddle—Good Things is the kind of spot that turns a quick coffee into a full-blown brunch situation. The menu is anything but average—think rye sourdough crumpets, hotcakes topped with things like strawberry and yuzu syrup, vanilla bean mascarpone cream and milk crumb, plus punchy options like Korean sambal eggs. It’s creative, considered and very hard to order from.

There’s a cute little outdoor area out front where dogs are more than welcome, and the coffee is just as impressive as the food.

Third Wheel Café

408 South Terrace, South Fremantle

Image credit: Third Wheel Cafe | Instagram

This pumping South Freo café—part of South Beach Cycles—is the perfect pit stop after a run at the dog beach to wear your pup out. Park up on the verandah with your dog by your side and refuel with a hot bevvy, a baked treat or something more substantial if you’re sticking around. They absolutely love dogs here, which makes the whole experience feel even better.

Now, take your pooch-filled adventure up a notch with a stay at Perth's best pet-friendly accommodation.
