Pooches & Pastries

Pooches & Pastries is a European-style cafe and bakery in the Emerald Lakes French Quarter, and dog friendliness is the whole point of the place rather than an afterthought.

Dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the tree-lined outdoor courtyard, on the footpath tables, and inside as well, so a wet-weather brunch is not a problem. Water bowls are put out for visiting dogs.

Known for. Toby's Estate coffee, fresh baked bread and pastries, a solid gluten-free and vegan range, and custom grazing platters and cakes for bookings.

Getting there. The address is 7/3029 The Boulevard, Carrara. Free street parking and nearby public parking are usually available, though it gets busy on weekends. Bus routes 739 and 745 stop about a 9 minute walk away.

Nearby with the dogs. The cafe sits right on the Emerald Lakes walking path, so a lap of the lake before or after coffee is the obvious move.
