Half Cup Cafe

The lead. Half Cup Cafe is a halal cafe on Sir Donald Bradman Drive in Cowandilla, five minutes from Adelaide Airport, and dogs are welcome in the spacious, shady outdoor seating area while you eat.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome outdoors rather than inside. Water bowls are typically available, and the outdoor area is roomy and shaded. Staff are known to be very accommodating, with the owner regularly bringing coffee out to the car for owners who have dogs waiting with them. Puppuccinos (lactose-free) are available for around $2.90.

Good to know. This is a breakfast and lunch spot, closed Mondays and shutting at 2pm every other day. Menu highlights include the Hash Brown Benedict, Asian Pumpkin and Salmon Omelette, and Vegan Burgers, with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options across the board. Specialty coffee and a wide tea range round it out. The cafe is halal-certified.

Getting there. The address is 1/231 Sir Donald Bradman Drive, Cowandilla. Free off-street parking is available on-site, plus street parking.

Nearby with the dogs. West Adelaide parks and reserves are a short drive away, as is Netley Beach Reserve if you want to combine a coffee stop with a longer outing.

When to go. Sunday mornings get busy. Weekday visits are more relaxed, and Tuesday to Friday opening is from 6:30am, which suits an early start.
