Abbie Lane at Highfields Arts & Crafts Village

Abbie Lane sits inside the Highfields Arts & Crafts Village on the New England Highway, a garden cafe with a well-kept courtyard where dogs are actively welcomed.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor courtyard, tables under umbrellas in a serene garden setting. Staff have a reputation for looking after dog owners, including shifting tables under cover when it rains. Outdoor seating makes it easy to put a water bowl down, though it is worth carrying your own.

Good to know. Well-rated for its coffee, desserts and food, in a relaxed garden setting. The surrounding Arts & Crafts Village turns it into an easy half-day out once you have eaten.

Getting there. At 10522 New England Highway, with ample free parking in the village lot close to the courtyard seating.

Nearby with the dogs. Highfields Falls Bushland Reserve is close by for a leashed walk, and the Harris and Michael Park off-leash areas are a short drive for a run.
