Take 3 Cafe

Take 3 Cafe is a busy modern Australian brunch spot on Keilor Road, Essendon, rated 4.8 from 188 reviews. Dogs are welcome outside, and the front footpath tables mean you and your dog can settle in without missing the coffee.

Dog access and setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area, including the footpath tables at the front. Keep your dog leashed and settled beside the table. Staff are generally accommodating but bring your own water bowl to be safe.

Known for. Strong coffee and an all-day brunch menu, think avocado on toast, a pulled pork benedict, chilli scramble and an acai bowl. Staff are consistently described as friendly and welcoming, including to four-legged guests.

Getting there and parking. The cafe is at 98A Keilor Road, Essendon. Street parking runs along Keilor Road and the side streets, check signage for time limits. The route 59 tram (Airport West to Flinders Street) stops along Keilor Road.

Nearby with the dogs. Queens Park in Moonee Ponds is a short drive away with walking paths, and the quiet residential streets off Keilor Road make an easy stroll after your coffee.

When to go. Weekday mornings are calmer than weekend brunch, when footpath seating fills fast. Good for owners who want a proper brunch without leaving the dog at home.
