inked cup

The basics. Inked Cup is a modern Asian-fusion brunch cafe at 2/1004 Doncaster Road, Doncaster East, and it is genuinely dog-friendly, with a dedicated outdoor seating area and staff known for looking after visiting dogs. Open daily from around 8am, closing early to mid-afternoon.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area, which is the focus for visits with a dog rather than inside. Staff are attentive and have been known to put out water bowls and even the odd treat or cupcake. Bring your own bowl as backup for busy days.

Good to know. Asian-fusion brunch with dishes like crispy duck bao, zucchini and corn fritters and wagyu burgers, plus pour-overs and lattes. A relaxed stop mid-walk or for weekend brunch.

Getting there. At 2/1004 Doncaster Road. There is a free car park plus street parking, though both get busy on weekends.

Nearby with the dogs. Thea Baratta Reserve and other local green spaces are a short distance away for a walk before or after coffee.
