Mick's at Sweet by Nature

Mick's at Sweet by Nature is a small, independent cafe on Bamfield Road in Heidelberg West, tucked into the same site as the well known Sweet by Nature wholesale bakery, and it is a solid coffee stop if your dog can wait outside a food space.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables and on the footpath seating out front. Indoors is off-limits for dogs, standard for a working cafe kitchen. Staff will generally put out a water bowl, but bring your own collapsible bowl and a few treats as backup, and keep your dog on-lead and close to your table so the walkway stays clear for other customers and staff.

Known for. Fresh pastries, cakes and tarts from the attached Sweet by Nature bakery, plus a solid breakfast and brunch menu with rolls and flat whites.

Getting there. The cafe is at 131-133 Bamfield Road, in a business park area with on-street and private parking usually available close by. If you are using public transport, Heidelberg station on the Hurstbridge line connects to local buses that run down towards Bamfield Road.

Nearby with the dogs. Malahang Reserve Fenced Dog Park is close by in Heidelberg West if your dog needs a proper off-leash run before or after coffee.

Weekday mornings are the easiest time to grab an outdoor table. The cafe closes early afternoon and is shut on Sundays, so check hours before you make the trip.
