Madame Jude

Madame Jude is a pet-friendly cafe on High Street in Golden Square, a short drive from Bendigo's city centre. It is best known locally for its Friday night "Madame Cue" BBQ pop-up and homemade baked treats, and it welcomes dogs on the outdoor patio.

Dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor patio area rather than indoors. The cafe puts out fresh water bowls and dog biscuits, and staff are known for making a fuss of visiting dogs.

Known for. Specialty coffee, hearty breakfasts and handmade treats such as carrot cranberry muffins and apple crumble, plus the Friday night BBQ pop-up serving smoked brisket, lamb, pork and wings.

Getting there and parking. Madame Jude is on High Street (Midland Highway) in Golden Square. On-street parking is available out front and on nearby side streets.

Nearby with the dogs. Golden Square's residential streets make for an easy pre or post-coffee stroll, and Bendigo Botanic Gardens is a short drive away. A few other cafes in Golden Square are also dog-friendly if this one is busy.

When to go. Weekday mornings are the calmest time for a relaxed coffee with a dog underfoot. If you want the Friday BBQ, confirm current hours before heading over as pop-up schedules can shift.
