Parkcafe & Gelato

Parkcafe & Gelato sits at 1072A Glen Huntly Road in Glen Huntly, and the single reason it matters for dog owners is location: it sits directly across from Booran Park, with outdoor seating and a pet-friendly stance that makes it a natural pit-stop after a walk.

The dog setup. Dogs are allowed at Parkcafe & Gelato, policy-verified as of June 2026. The venue offers outdoor seating, which is where you will want to settle in with your dog. No confirmed details on water bowls, treats, or whether dogs are permitted indoors, so plan for the footpath tables and check with staff on arrival if you need anything specific.

Good to know. This is a bakery and gelato bar turning out fresh cakes, homemade gelato, and coffee. Reviewers regularly flag the Dubai Waffles, Smashed Avo, Pulled Beef Burgers, and Coconut Chia Pudding. Straightforward cafe fare done well, with the gelato counter doing the heavy lifting on warm afternoons.

Getting there. It is on Glen Huntly Road, a main arterial, so expect traffic. Parking is on-street along the surrounding side streets rather than at the door.

Nearby with the dogs. EE Gunn Reserve Dog Off Leash Area in Ormond and Princes Park in Caulfield South are both short drives away if you want to pair a proper off-leash run with your cafe stop.

When to go. Mid-morning on a weekday is your quietest bet for an outdoor table without a wait, especially if you are arriving with a dog in tow.
