Good Neighbour Cafe

The short version. Good Neighbour is a brunch-and-coffee cafe on Wentworth Avenue in inner-south Kingston, and it has become a reliable stop for locals walking their dogs. The seating that matters for you is the footpath area out front.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor footpath tables along Wentworth Avenue, which is the standard arrangement for ACT cafes: outside only, not indoors. It is a good people-watching perch, and staff are used to dogs and will usually sort out a water bowl on request. Bring your own if the day is warm and busy.

Good to know. The draw is the coffee and a broad matcha list, plus a hearty brunch menu that runs to a big breakfast and chicken burgers. It gets busy on weekend mornings, so a footpath table with a dog is easier mid-morning on a weekday.

Getting there. Find it at 1/55 Wentworth Avenue. Street parking runs along Wentworth Avenue, with more on Eyre Street and Giles Street a short walk away. Parking tightens during the weekend rush.

Nearby with the dog. The Kingston Foreshore paths and Lake Burley Griffin are a short walk off, and Norgrove Park gives you a patch of green to stretch legs before or after coffee. Easy to build a walk-and-brunch loop around the Kingston precinct.
