The Green Olive

A relaxed brunch cafe tucked down Bath Lane in central Bendigo, The Green Olive welcomes dogs at its outdoor tables. It is a low-key spot for coffee and a feed with your dog along, a short walk from Rosalind Park.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor dining area, on lead; indoors stays for diners under food-safety rules. The cafe is known as an easygoing, dog-friendly room, so staff are generally happy to see a well-behaved dog. Bring your own water bowl rather than assume one.

Good to know. The draw is specialty coffee and a strong brunch menu, with a well-regarded gluten-free and sometimes vegan offering. The vibe is casual and friendly, often with music on.

Getting there and parking. Find it at 11 Bath Lane, down a lane in the city centre. There is some off-street parking plus nearby street parking, and it is an easy walk from Rosalind Park and the main shopping district.

Nearby with the dogs. Rosalind Park is a short stroll away with large shaded areas for an on-lead walk, and the surrounding CBD is comfortably walkable.

Quieter outside the weekend brunch peak. Good for a calm dog happy to settle through a long coffee.
