Daisy Coffee Shop

Daisy Coffee Shop is a neighbourhood cafe at 66 Leah Street in Forestville, a few minutes' walk from the Forestville shopping strip in Adelaide's inner south. It is one of those suburbs-adjacent-to-everything venues: a 4.6-star rating across some 450 reviews, a proper plant-based kitchen, and outdoor seating that takes dogs without fuss.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome in the side courtyard and the front seating area, both outdoor spaces over gravel with partial shade; inside stays humans only. Leashes stay on, and water bowls are often provided, though the courtyard fills on weekend mornings so a settled dog matters. Grab a shaded table in summer because the gravel heats up.

Worth knowing

The kitchen is a genuine draw for plant-based eaters: a vegan biggie breakfast, tofu scramble and homemade hash browns sit alongside creative avocado toast and rotating seasonal lunch plates, with clearly marked vegan options rather than reluctant substitutions. Cinnamon scrolls and croissants cover the sweet side, gluten-free options are handled properly, and the coffee comes with a full range of plant milks. Hours run 6:30am to 2pm weekdays and 8am to 2pm weekends.

Getting there and parking

Free street parking is typically available on Leah Street and the neighbouring side streets, and the cafe is walkable from the Goodwood end of the neighbourhood.

Close by with the dogs

If you are cafe-hopping, Unley Social, Just Down The Road and Hey George are all short drives away in the neighbouring strips. For an off-lead stretch first, the Forestville dog off-leash area is the local option.

More options are on the SA dog friendly cafes guide and the Forestville destination page.

Pepsi: weekends open at 8am and the courtyard fills by 9, so an early claim on the shaded table is worth the alarm.
