Sublime Cafe

Sublime Cafe on East Ave in Clarence Park earns its 4.5-star rating across 382 reviews, and the reason to bring your dog is simple - free Schmakos on arrival, grass mats laid out in the covered outdoor area, and bowls of meat offcuts for $2 to $3. A neighbourhood cafe that actually thinks about the dog, not just the owner.

The dog setup. Free treats on arrival, grass mats so your dog is not sliding on hard paving, and a covered outdoor area that keeps you both out of the sun. The offcuts bowls are a genuine touch - most cafes stop at a water bowl.

Good to know. The haloumi bites get repeated mentions in reviews, alongside smashed avo, fritters and a solid egg and bacon roll. Staff are consistently noted as friendly, which matters when you are juggling a lead and a flat white.

Nearby. Trouble and Strife, Yugen Art & Coffee and Hey George Community in Goodwood are all a short drive away.

When to go. Open Tuesday to Sunday, 8AM to 3PM. Closed Mondays. Get in early on weekends to secure a spot in the covered section before it fills.
