Lonsdale St Roasters

The lead. Lonsdale St Roasters runs a sleek roastery cafe in the Dairy Road precinct on the Fyshwick edge, pouring freshly roasted Canberra coffee. Dogs are welcome in the alfresco seating, and the wider precinct gives you room for a walk before or after.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor alfresco area, which is open and casual. Indoors is generally off-limits under the usual food-service rules. Water bowls are commonly out for dogs, but bring your own to be sure. The setting suits a dog that is comfortable with some passing foot traffic from the broader precinct.

Good to know. The draw is the coffee, freshly roasted on site, with light bites alongside. It reads as a quieter, relaxed stop rather than a full brunch destination. Note the weekday-only trade below.

Getting there. It sits in Building 2 at 1 Dairy Road. There is extensive free parking across the Dairy Road precinct, including close to the cafe, so arriving by car with a dog is easy.

Nearby with the dogs. The Dairy Road precinct itself is walkable and dog-friendly, with open space for a leashed stroll after coffee. Brodburger at Capital Brewing Co. is also in the precinct if you want a longer sit.

When to go. Trade is weekday-focused and mornings-into-early-afternoon, so confirm current hours before a weekend trip. Keep your dog leashed near the tables given the working precinct around you.
