Prelude Coffee & Bagels

Prelude Coffee & Bagels sits on Main Street in the heart of Greensborough, turning out boiled-and-baked bagels and locally roasted coffee. For dog owners the draw is simple: the outdoor tables on the street are dog-welcoming, and the team is known to hand out free puppuccinos.

The dog setup. Bring your dog to the outdoor seating along Main Street. Dogs are not seated indoors, but the footpath tables are easy to reach on a walk and give you a spot to tie up and settle. Staff are happy to sort a puppuccino, and a water bowl is usually on hand, though it is worth carrying your own on warmer days.

Good to know. The bagels are the signature - properly boiled, chewy, and loaded with everything from a Turkey and brie to salmon or a truffle mushroom filling. Coffee is consistent, the interior is small and cosy, and regulars rate the croissants and brownies. It is a busy local spot, so the outdoor tables can fill at weekend brunch.

Getting there and parking. It is right on Main Street, close to Greensborough Plaza and local bus lines. Free street parking is usually available nearby, though the strip gets tighter on weekend mornings.

Nearby with the dogs. The Main Street strip is good for a post-coffee stroll, and there are green spaces a short walk or drive away if you want to stretch your dog's legs afterwards.

Come on a weekday morning for the calmest run at an outdoor table. Good for social dogs who are happy to settle footpath-side while you eat.
