Calmer Cafe

Calmer Cafe is a relaxed neighbourhood cafe and wine bar on Fawkner Street in Aberfeldie, and it is genuinely dog-friendly rather than just tolerant: dogs are welcomed both in the outdoor seating and inside, with water bowls set out and a treats jar on hand for four-legged visitors.

Dog access and setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor area and indoors. Water bowls are typically out for pets, and there is often a jar of treats for dogs at the counter. Staff ask that dogs stay on a leash while inside.

Known for. Friendly, welcoming staff, solid coffee and brunch, and a popular parma night when the space switches to wine bar mode in the evenings from Thursday to Saturday.

Getting there and parking. The cafe is at 2E Fawkner Street, Aberfeldie. Street parking on Fawkner Street and the surrounding residential streets is usually straightforward, and bus stops on Buckley Street are a short walk away.

Best for a relaxed coffee stop on a walk along the Maribyrnong River area, rather than a destination in its own right. Weekday mornings are quieter than the Thursday to Saturday wine bar evenings if you want a calmer sit with your dog.
