Grounded Cafe

Grounded Cafe is a relaxed community spot at 19 Henderson Drive, Kallaroo, sitting within the North Shore Community Hub. The key draw for dog owners: dogs are explicitly welcomed in the outdoor seating areas out the back.

Dog setup. Dogs are permitted in the outdoor tables at the rear, some of which look over a calm lake and green space. Keep your dog on a leash in all common areas, particularly near the adjacent nature playground. Staff are known to be welcoming and may provide water bowls in the outdoor zones, though it pays to bring your own just in case.

Known for. The menu centres on quality coffee and a relaxed brunch. The signature item is their "infamous Scruffins," alongside Portuguese tarts, bacon and egg brioche, and jaffles. The setting is family-friendly with a focus on good service.

Getting there and parking. A free, dedicated car park serves the hub, with additional free street parking on surrounding roads. Access into the cafe is flat and straightforward.

Nearby with the dogs. The cafe overlooks a small community lake, handy for a short, leashed stroll before or after your coffee. For an off-leash run or a second coffee stop, head a short drive west to Hillarys Dog Beach or north to Dropinz Coffee in Mullaloo.

Best suited to a morning visit. The kitchen closes at midday and opening times vary by day.
