Cafe Windchimes

The basics. Cafe Windchimes at 250 Blackburn Road, Doncaster East, is a busy local brunch spot that takes dogs at its front outdoor seating. It is a casual, friendly cafe known for generous servings and good coffee, with the dog space being the covered front area off Blackburn Road.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the front outdoor or covered seating, with direct access from the Blackburn Road frontage. Staff have a reputation for putting out water bowls, and it is a known spot for locals with dogs. Dogs are not permitted inside the main cafe, so plan to sit out front. Bring your own bowl on busy days.

Good to know. Generous portions and a big breakfast and brunch menu, with the big breakfast and smashed avo among the picks, plus well-regarded coffee. It gets busy on weekends.

Getting there. On Blackburn Road near the Tunstall Road intersection. Free parking is available nearby, but check time limits, as some street spots are monitored.

Nearby with the dogs. Several reserves and off-leash spaces sit a short distance away for a walk after coffee.
