Kintore Caffé & Wood Oven Pizza

Kintore Caffé & Wood Oven Pizza sits on Kintore Avenue in Kilburn and does the full day in one kitchen: breakfast and coffee from 7am, then wood-oven pizza and homemade Middle Eastern sweets through to the evening. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables, which makes it a rare proper-meal option for anyone walking the dog through Adelaide's inner north.

The dog setup

Dogs are allowed at the outdoor seating out the front, right on the suburban streetscape. The area is casual rather than fenced, so keep your dog leashed and close to the table. There is no dedicated dog menu, and you should not count on a water bowl being set out, so pack your own water and a mat if your dog likes to settle in. Staff have a reputation for being friendly and unhurried with tables that include a dog.

The vibe

It is a small neighbourhood caffé with table service and generous servings. Mornings run to big breakfasts, fresh juice and thick milkshakes; later the wood oven takes over, turning out pizzas including truffle mushroom and gourmet vegetarian options. The sweets cabinet of Middle Eastern-style treats is worth leaving room for. Portions run large, so order accordingly.

Getting there and parking

The café is at 89 Kintore Avenue, Kilburn, just off Churchill Road. Free street parking is available along Kintore Avenue and the surrounding residential streets, so you will not need to circle for a spot. Kilburn train station is a short walk away if you are arriving on foot with the dog.

Close by with the dogs

Before pizza, run the energy off at Jack Watkins Reserve fenced dog park in the same suburb. If you are back another day, Frankly Bagels in Prospect is a few minutes south, and Grant Park fenced dog park in Enfield suits an off-lead run on the way home.

Open Tuesday to Sunday from 7am to 9pm, closed Mondays. Weekday mornings are the easiest time to get an outdoor table with your dog. For more options across the state, browse dog friendly cafés in South Australia or start from Kilburn.
