O’Hey Cafe

O'Hey is a well-loved neighbourhood cafe on O'Hea Street, the kind of place locals send people to for a generous brunch. It is openly dog-friendly, with both a rear courtyard and footpath tables, so you have options whatever the weather.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the rear courtyard and at the front footpath tables. The courtyard is the pick for a longer sit. Water bowls are usually on hand and staff are described as accommodating, though carry your own bowl as backup.

Good to know. Portions are large and the brunch is the drawcard, with the French toast and brisket dishes regularly singled out. It gets busy on weekends and is a better laptop-and-coffee spot in the quieter weekday stretches.

Getting there. At 44 O'Hea Street, Coburg. On-site parking is limited, but free street parking along O'Hea Street and the surrounding residential streets is generally easy.

Nearby with the dog. The quiet streets around the cafe make a pleasant short walk, and the Merri Creek paths and Coburg Bush Reserve are nearby for something longer.

When to go. Weekday mornings are calmest and best if you want a courtyard table without a queue. Weekend brunch is the busy peak.
