Caff on Broadway

The short version. Caff on Broadway is a busy vintage-styled brunch cafe on the Broadway strip in Bassendean, and it is genuinely set up for dogs. The pick of the seating is the leafy backyard alfresco area out the rear, reached down the driveway to the right of the shopfront.

Where the dogs go. Bring the dog to the rear courtyard, which is the roomiest and most relaxed spot for a lead-tied dog under the table. There is also a small fenced patio at the front if the backyard is full. Water bowls are put out for visiting dogs, and dog treats turn up for sale from time to time. Keep dogs on lead and off the walkways between tables at peak.

Good to know. The kitchen leans into brunch, so expect eggs benedict with smoked salmon, house sausage rolls and solid toasties, with coffee to match. It is a well-regarded local spot, which means weekend mornings fill fast.

Getting there. It sits on the main Broadway commercial stretch, a short walk from Bassendean train station. Free street parking and a nearby public lot cover most visits, though both tighten on weekend mornings.

Make a morning of it. Success Hill Reserve is a short drive away for a leafy on-lead walk along the Swan River, and the town centre and Bassendean Oval are within strolling distance for a post-coffee lap.

Come early on weekends if you want a quiet table in the backyard; mid-morning is when the queue builds.
