Hay and Hide Cafe

Hay and Hide Cafe is a light, modern local spot in the Belford Court shopping strip at 54-58 Kilby Road, Kew East. It opened in early 2026 and has quickly become a regular stop for dog walkers, including local walking groups passing through on their rounds.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating out front of the cafe in the Belford Court strip. It is a casual, social setup suited to a well-behaved dog on a lead beside your table. Confirm current water bowl availability with staff on the day.

Known for. Good coffee, sandwiches and pastries, and a friendly neighbourhood feel. It is a regular stop for local dog walking groups, who have reported perks such as free coffees for group members from time to time - worth asking in person rather than assuming.

Getting there. Shop 6, 54-58 Kilby Road, Kew East, within the Belford Court shopping precinct, with parking available in the strip.

Nearby with the dogs. Hays Paddock is a short distance away and makes an easy walk-then-coffee combination, along with the quieter residential streets around Kew East.
