De Mustachio Fairfield

De Mustachio sits at 63 Spencer Street in Fairfield's town centre, a cozy, family-run cafe with a reputation for expertly brewed coffee and a breakfast menu that runs well past the usual toast. It takes dogs on the outdoor footpath tables without any fuss, which makes it an easy stop around a Fairfield walk.

The dog setup

Leashed dogs are welcome at the outdoor footpath seating; indoor dining is off-limits under standard food safety rules. Water bowls are generally put out on request rather than kept on every table, so bring your own bowl and a treat as backup. Keep your dog settled under the table because Spencer Street carries steady pedestrian traffic, and pick a table with room off the main flow.

The vibe and the menu

The coffee is the draw, backed by a solid breakfast and brunch menu of morning classics, hot plates and small bites, plus burgers and desserts at lunch with a short drinks list. It is a casual, family-friendly room and it picked up the Best Cafe in Fairfield City Council gong in the 2026 Quality Business Awards. Hours are long for a cafe: 7am to 7pm Monday to Saturday and 8am to 7pm Sundays, so an afternoon coffee with the dog is a real option here.

Getting there and parking

Street parking runs along Spencer Street and the surrounding roads, and Fairfield station is an easy walk if you would rather arrive on foot with the dog.

Close by with the dogs

Fairfield Park is about 400 metres away for an on-lead stroll, and for off-lead time the council's largest dog facility is the fenced Fairfield Showground dog park at Prairiewood, with three separate enclosures, double-gated entries and water stations. Back in town, GYROS CO Specialty Coffee is the other dog-friendly cafe on the Fairfield list, and Bricks & Brunch at Fairfield Heights is a short drive north.
