Finlay & Sons

Finlay & Sons is a family-run neighbourhood cafe on the Beaufort Street strip in Inglewood, popular for its hash brown benny and easy, casual vibe, and it has built a reputation as one of the more welcoming stops on the strip for owners walking with a dog.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outside seating area out front. It gets busy on weekend mornings, so expect to share the footpath tables. A water bowl is often put out, but bring your own on hot days in case it is in use.

Good to know. The menu leans into breakfast classics done well, including corn fritters and a strong coffee list, with gluten-free and vegan options if your group needs them. There is also a take-away window if you would rather keep walking with the lead in hand.

Getting there. Free street parking is usually findable on Beaufort Street or the residential side streets, and several bus routes run along Beaufort Street from the city and Mount Lawley.

Go early on weekends to get an outdoor table before the strip fills up, and confirm current hours before a special trip.
