SoulPod Cafe is a fully plant-based cafe at 43 The Mall, Croydon South, in the Croydon Central shopping precinct, known for dairy-free food and specialty coffee in a relaxed, dog-friendly setting.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome both in the outdoor seating and inside the cafe, with no fee. Keep dogs leashed and well behaved. Water bowls are provided, and the cafe sells plant-based dog treats on the menu if you want to spoil yours.

Good to know. The menu leans fully vegan: the Breaky Bagel and mushroom stroganoff are popular, alongside raw slices, desserts and oat or almond milk coffees.

Getting there. Free parking is available in the Croydon Central precinct, with undercover and accessible spaces, though some bays carry a 3 hour limit. Croydon railway station on the Lilydale line is a short walk away.

Nearby with the dogs. Eastfield Coffee Co. is a short walk away for another dog-friendly option, and Belmont Park or Woodland Park both give you an off-leash run nearby.

Ask for a water bowl when you sit down, and the plant-based dog treats on the menu are a nice bonus after a walk.

When to go. Weekend mornings are busiest with the brunch crowd. Weekday mid-morning is quieter if you want an easy sit-down with the dog at your feet.
