Fern Avenue Cafe

Fern Avenue Cafe is a busy neighbourhood brunch spot on Silver Fern Avenue in Currambine, north of Perth near Joondalup, opening 6:30am on weekdays and 7am on weekends and closing at 2pm. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables out front, and the staff have a reputation for bringing water bowls without being asked, plus puppy-chinos if you ask when ordering.

The dog setup

Dogs settle at the outdoor seating area on lead and close to your table, since the space is shared with other diners and the tables run close together. It suits a calm dog that is happy to lie at your feet through a leisurely brunch. Treats are genuinely part of the service here, which tells you how regular four-legged customers are.

Worth knowing

The menu leans into brunch classics with a few signatures: Turkish eggs, breakfast bagels, corn fritters, smashed avocado and matcha French toast, with an almond croissant for the pastry-minded and locally roasted coffee throughout. It is a relaxed, family-friendly setup rather than a destination venue, and the 2pm close makes it a morning-to-early-afternoon operation. Weekday mornings are the easiest time for a table with a dog; weekends draw a bigger brunch crowd.

Getting there and parking

The cafe sits in the Currambine commercial strip near the Joondalup direction, with free parking in the surrounding area and a wheelchair-accessible entrance. Currambine station on the Joondalup line is a short walk for car-free arrivals.

Close by with the dogs

The Elcar Park fenced dog park in Joondalup is the closest proper off-lead option, and the Lake Joondalup circuit makes a good on-lead walk to earn the brunch. Other dog-friendly listings nearby include Paper Avenue Cafe in Joondalup and Roma Republic in Kinross.

More options are on the Western Australia dog friendly cafes guide and the Currambine destination page.

Pepsi: Turkish eggs for you, puppy-chino for me, then Elcar Park to stretch the legs.
