Flourish Cafe Olivers Hill

Flourish Cafe is a casual breakfast-and-lunch spot on Norman Avenue in Frankston South, near the top of Olivers Hill. It is a handy coffee stop before or after a walk, and dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area, on leads, which is standard for cafes in Victoria where pets stay out of indoor dining. Staff are generally accommodating; bring your own bowl for water to be safe.

Good to know. Reviewers consistently rate the coffee and the food, and value for money comes up often. It is a small, cosy setup, so the outdoor tables can fill on a good morning.

Getting there. On Norman Avenue, just off Nepean Highway, with on-street parking in the surrounding residential streets.

Nearby with the dogs. The Olivers Hill lookout is a short trip up for bay views, the Frankston foreshore walking areas are down the hill, and Sweetwater Creek Nature Reserve nearby has bushland trails for a longer walk.
