LUME CAFE

A small, friendly local cafe by the Highgate shops with dog-friendly alfresco seating. Lume sits at 80 Bulwer Street, Highgate, just outside the Highgate Woolworths, and features Urban List's roundup of dog-friendly Perth cafes. It is a compact spot built around specialty coffee and fresh food, handy for a coffee mid-walk.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor alfresco area directly in front of the cafe. Access is flat and easy from the street and the adjacent carpark, which suits older or smaller dogs. Water bowls are often around the Highgate shopping precinct, but bring your own to be safe.

Good to know. It is known for specialty coffee, toasties and fresh bagels, and runs community events like a monthly book club. The vibe is small and welcoming rather than a big brunch operation.

Getting there. Find it at 80 Bulwer Street. Parking is easy thanks to the adjacent Woolworths Highgate carpark, though check any time limits. It is very walkable for Highgate and Northbridge locals.

Nearby with the dogs. Highgate Primary School oval is close for a quick run. Hyde Park is a short walk or drive for a larger, shaded park with water features. Beaufort Street is within walking distance for more dog-friendly stops.

When to go. As a small local cafe it is quietest on weekday mornings. Pair it with a Hyde Park loop for an easy coffee-and-walk outing.
