Omnivore cafe

Omnivore Cafe is a small, colourful local on Railway Terrace in Ascot Park, the kind of neighbourhood breakfast spot that keeps a full outdoor seating area for dogs and a jar of biscuits behind the counter.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables out front. It is a compact footpath and courtyard setup rather than a big beer garden, so it suits one or two calm dogs on a short lead rather than a pack. Staff are known for offering a free biscuit, but bring your own water bowl just in case one is not out.

Known for. Big breakfasts, smashed avocado and a solid brunch menu with vegan and vegetarian options, served in a cosy space with a mural on the wall. Reviewers rate the staff as friendly and attentive, including to the dogs waiting outside.

Getting there. Omnivore Cafe is on Railway Terrace, an easy walk from Ascot Park train station. Street parking is generally available nearby, though it is a suburban strip so spots can be tight at weekend brunch times.

Go early on weekend mornings before the brunch crowd fills the outdoor tables, and confirm the current dog policy at booking if you are bringing more than one dog.
