Kilgour St Grocer

Kilgour St Grocer is a relaxed neighbourhood cafe and grocer in South Geelong, sitting just outside the busy centre. For dog owners the appeal is the sunny out-back seating and a spot that is set up to have you and the dog stay a while.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor out-back seating area. Water bowls are provided, and doggy treats are often on hand for visitors. Keep them on-leash through the indoor grocer section.

Good to know. The draw is good coffee and a solid run of sandwiches and sweet treats, with vegetarian and vegan options covered. It reads as a quiet, local-favourite stop rather than a scene.

Getting there. 164 Kilgour Street, South Geelong. Street parking is usually available on Kilgour Street and the surrounding residential streets. Its position outside the CBD makes it an easier pull-up than the waterfront cafes.

Nearby with the dogs. The Barwon River walking tracks are within reach for a proper leg-stretch, and the Botanic Gardens are walkable for a quieter on-leash loop.

An easy weekday stop, calmer than the foreshore cafes. Good if you want to sit with a coffee while the dog settles rather than fight for a waterfront table.
