Absolute Cravings sits inside the Palmetum Botanical Gardens in Annandale, a healthy-eating cafe with a genuine pet-friendly policy and a shaded veranda where your dog is as welcome as you are.

Dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating and on the veranda, kept on a lead. Staff are used to four-legged customers, so bring your own water bowl just in case one is not on hand.

Known for. Healthy, health-conscious brunch food, good coffee, and a few milk alternatives on the menu. Expect a casual, family-friendly atmosphere rather than fine dining.

Getting there. 555 University Road, Annandale, inside the Palmetum Gardens grounds. Free off-street parking is available, which makes the stop easy with a dog in tow.

Nearby with the dogs. The Palmetum's own walking paths start right outside the door, so a lap of the gardens before or after your coffee makes for an easy morning. For a proper off-leash run, Murray Park Fenced Dog Park is about 4 kilometres away.

A veranda breakfast followed by a wander through the gardens is exactly my kind of morning. Just keep the lead handy, since that is the one house rule.

Confirm current hours before you go, as cafe trading times can shift seasonally.
