Mili & Co. Cafe

Mili & Co. Cafe brings warm hospitality and a genuine love of dogs to Cecil Hills Shopping Village at 149-151 Cecil Hills. Rated 4.3 stars across 300 reviews, this welcoming spot has become a morning ritual for locals who appreciate good coffee and a lake view with their breakfast. The outdoor seating area is where the real action happens, especially on weekends when regulars roll up with their dogs in tow.

The kitchen turns out a solid all-day menu with a few standout dishes. The matcha latte has built something of a cult following among regulars, while the Nutella oat waffle draws the sweet tooths. If you lean savoury, the chorizo and hash brown plates hit the mark, as do the fritters and a well-executed eggs benedict. The Chicken and Waffles is the kind of plate that makes you reconsider whatever you ordered last time. It is the sort of spread that rivals nearby spots like Ristretto & Co and Bigge Espresso, with the added bonus of water views.

What sets Mili & Co. apart is its origin story. The cafe takes its name from two German Pointers, Miso and Mili, and that genuine connection to dog ownership shows in how they treat four-legged guests. Dogs are welcome throughout the outdoor seating area, and the kitchen even turns out puppycinos for canine visitors. It is the kind of place where your Golden Retriever's uncontainable enthusiasm for meeting new friends is met with a smile and a treat, while a more cautious German Shepherd can settle into a quiet corner table without feeling crowded. After your cafe visit, you might continue the morning at Bulldog Park for a proper run around.

You will find Mili & Co. Cafe at Cecil Hills Shopping Village, open Monday to Friday from 6:30am to 2:30pm and weekends from 7am to 2:30pm. Bookings can be made by calling +61296057456, or visit their website for the full menu. If you are exploring the broader Liverpool area with your dog, Purple Parrot Acai Liverpool is another solid option nearby.
