Gilbert Social

Gilbert Social is a modern corner cafe at the southern end of the CBD, a community local known for its house Social Coffee, toasties and an easygoing neighbourhood feel. Dogs are welcome at the footpath tables, which makes it a relaxed coffee stop close to the South Parklands.

The dog setup. Dogs settle with you at the footpath seating out the front, a good corner spot for watching the street. The room inside is intimate, so the footpath is the natural place for the dog. Staff are friendly and used to dogs; bring your own water bowl to be sure on a warm day.

Good to know. The draw is the coffee (their own Social blend), toasties and a solid breakfast menu with vegan and gluten-free options. It is a casual brunch and laptop-friendly spot rather than a sit-down restaurant, which suits a quick coffee with the dog.

Getting there and parking. The cafe is at 101 Gilbert Street, on the corner. Metered street parking runs along Gilbert Street and the side streets, so check the signs. It is an easy walk from the South Parklands.

Nearby with the dogs. The South Parklands are close for a pre- or post-coffee walk, with the Himeji Garden nearby for a quiet on-lead stroll.

Weekday mornings are the calmest for a footpath table; weekends draw the local brunch crowd. A friendly, unfussy neighbourhood cafe that is happy to have the dog along.
