Slip 185 Coffee Bar

Slip 185 Coffee Bar is a casual coffee bar at 185 Fullarton Road in Dulwich, serving breakfast and lunch to Adelaide's inner east on weekdays. Dogs are welcome at the footpath tables outside, so a coffee and a roll with your dog alongside you is entirely doable.

The dog setup

Dogs sit with you at the outdoor footpath seating. Indoor seating is not confirmed as dog friendly, so plan on outside, and pick a table clear of the footpath traffic given how busy Fullarton Road gets.

Water bowls and treats are not something the cafe advertises, so bring your own bowl and ask staff on the day. It is a quick-service spot rather than a linger-all-morning brunch room, which actually suits a dog stop.

The vibe

The menu leans fresh and fast: chicken schnitzel burgers, toasties, cold rolls and banh mi, alongside pastries and good coffee. Regulars rate the service and the easygoing local feel, and Fridays often bring knock-off drinks for the after-work crowd.

Pepsi: weekday mid-morning is the sweet spot here, after the commute rush dies down and before the lunch pickup queue forms.

Getting there

The cafe opens Monday to Friday from 7am to 2pm and closes on weekends, which shapes when a dog stop makes sense. Free street parking sits in the side streets off Fullarton Road, plus a small on-site parking area. Morning traffic on Fullarton Road is heavy, so allow a few minutes.

Pair it with

For an off-leash run before or after, the Conyngham Street Dog Park in Glenside is a short drive south. If you are making a cafe crawl of it, Louie's Deli in neighbouring Rose Park and Eat on Glen Osmond in Eastwood are both dog friendly options nearby.

More options are on the South Australia dog friendly cafe guide and the Dulwich destination page.
