Edithvale General Store

Edithvale General Store is a buzzy neighbourhood cafe on Munro Avenue, a short walk from the beach and the train station, and dogs are part of the furniture in the outdoor seating.

The dog setup. Dogs stick to the outdoor tables, where the cafe runs a roped-off pet-friendly section rather than a free-for-all footpath scramble. Staff are used to regulars bringing their dogs and will usually bring out a water bowl on request. Indoors is food-service only, so keep your dog with you outside.

Good to know. The menu leans brunch and lunch: Turkish eggs, burgers, sweet potato and corn fritters, and a solid vegan range, backed by a 4.6 rating across hundreds of reviews. It's a genuine local hub, which means weekend mornings get loud and full fast.

Getting there. It's on Munro Avenue, close to Edithvale station, with free street parking nearby that fills up on weekends. Turn up early on Saturday or Sunday if you want a table in the dog section.

Nearby with the dogs. Edithvale Beach and the Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands are both an easy walk away for a pre- or post-coffee stretch.

Weekday mornings are the easy option if you want a quiet table with the dog. Weekend rushes are part of the charm, just expect to wait.
