The Beanstalk Café

The Beanstalk Cafe is a quieter brunch spot tucked into Emerald Square in the middle of Burwood, known for ONA coffee and a relaxed alternative to the busier cafes on the main road. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area, not inside.

The dog setup. Your dog can join you at the outdoor tables on the ground level of Emerald Square, with easy access straight off the street. Indoor dining is for humans only. Staff are generally accommodating, but bring your own water bowl rather than assuming one will be offered.

Known for. Regulars come for the ONA coffee and the eggs benedict, and for a calmer pace than the cafes right on the main strip.

Getting there and parking. The cafe sits within the Emerald Square precinct, generally approached via Burwood Road or Railway Parade. Street parking nearby can be tight, so the paid parking inside the Emerald Square complex is the more reliable option.

Nearby with the dogs. Coronation Club Park is a few minutes' walk away for a quick stretch, and Burwood Park is a short walk or drive further, with a bigger loop and some off-leash areas, check local signage for current boundaries.

Good for a relaxed coffee stop before or after a walk in Burwood Park, rather than a destination in its own right.
