La Cachette Cafe

La Cachette is a relaxed neighbourhood cafe on Mitchell Road in Alexandria, popular with locals for coffee and casual brunch. It states plainly that it is a dog-friendly cafe, with dogs welcome at the outdoor tables.

The dog setup. Seating for dogs is at the footpath tables out front. Keep your dog on a lead and settled beside you, and check it is comfortable around passing patrons and other dogs. Staff are generally happy to bring a water bowl on request, but it is worth carrying your own.

Good to know. The coffee gets the strongest reviews, alongside generous, well-priced cafe food and friendly service. It is more a local stop than a destination, which suits an easy coffee with the dog.

Getting there. Find it at 270 Mitchell Road. Free street parking is usually available on Mitchell Road and the side streets, though weekend mornings are competitive.

Nearby with the dogs. The Copper Mill, another dog-friendly cafe, is close by on the same stretch of Mitchell Road. Sydney Park, with its large off-leash areas, is a short trip away for a proper run.

When to go. Quietest on weekday mornings. Good for a low-key coffee with a settled dog rather than a long sit-down.
