Dôme Café - Ellenbrook

Dome Cafe Ellenbrook is the franchise institution at 36 Main Street in the middle of the Ellenbrook town centre, serving breakfast through dinner seven days a week. For dog owners it is a reliable footpath stop rather than a destination: dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables, and the suburb's fenced dog parks are a short drive away for a proper run before or after.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome at the outdoor alfresco tables and on the footpath seating along Main Street, on leash, while the indoor dining area stays people-only. Staff generally bring out a water bowl when asked, but carry a collapsible one as backup on busy mornings. The street-side tables put you right in the middle of the town-centre action, which suits a settled dog that enjoys watching foot traffic.

The vibe

The menu covers the full Dome range: all-day breakfast, poached eggs, lasagne, wedges and thick milkshakes, with generous portions being the house style. It opens early, 6am daily, and runs through to 9pm, which makes it one of the few options for a dinner-with-the-dog night in the town centre. Weekends get busy and waits can stretch, so mid-morning on a weekday is the calmest window.

Pepsi: beat the rush with an early footpath table, then take the dog across to a fenced park while the rest of the suburb queues for brunch.

Getting there and parking

Free street parking runs along Main Street with public car parks close by, and the cafe is easy to reach on foot from anywhere in the town centre. The Ellenbrook Central shopping precinct sits directly across the road, so pair the coffee with any errands that leave the dog-friendly way.

Close by with the dogs

Ellenbrook (Westgrove Dr) Fenced Dog Park and Annies Landing Fenced Dog Park are the two best fenced runs nearby, and Muzz Buzz Ellenbrook covers the drive-through coffee run on days the dog just wants a cruise.
