The Jolly Miller (Croydon)

The Jolly Miller is a busy cafe-bakery in the Croydon Central precinct, and what sets it apart for dog owners is a dedicated doggy menu, so your dog gets its own order rather than just a bowl of water.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating. The doggy menu runs to puppuccinos, doggy doughnuts, cookies, muffins and quiche, which makes it an easy spot if you want to treat the dog too. Outdoor space can be tight at peak times, so aim for off-peak if you want elbow room.

Good to know. The human side is known for handcrafted pastries, cakes and a broad breakfast and lunch menu with barista coffee, plus a decent vegan selection. It is part of a Victorian chain, so expect a reliable, family-friendly feel.

Getting there. Find it around Kent Avenue in Croydon Central. There is free parking in the surrounding shopping area plus street parking, and it sits near the Maroondah Highway junction.

Nearby with the dogs. The Croydon Central precinct is walkable on-leash, and several Croydon off-leash reserves are a short drive for a proper run before or after.
