It Takes A Village

It Takes A Village is a community-focused cafe at 46 Towers Terrace, Edwardstown, founded by locals Sam and Louise. Its dog-friendly outdoor seating makes it a straightforward option for South Australian dog owners wanting a coffee without leaving the dog at home.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the under-pergola outdoor seating area, with additional casual sidewalk seating available. Keep your dog leashed and settled near your table. No specific water bowls or treats are confirmed, so bring your own or check with staff on arrival.

Good to know. The cafe focuses on coffee, running tasting events and pouring from milk taps. The owners champion local South Australian producers and artists, with handcrafted mugs made by one of the owners. Cyclists get a 5% discount by showing a helmet or wearing Lycra.

Getting there. The cafe sits on a quieter suburban corner near Marion Road. Street parking is typically available on Towers Terrace or nearby residential streets.

Nearby with the dogs. If you are cafe-hopping through Adelaide's inner-south, also consider Omnivore cafe in Ascot Park or The Little Fig in Melrose Park.

Worth timing your visit around a coffee tasting event if you want the full experience.
