Emma & Ivy

Emma & Ivy is a plant-filled cafe on Main Street in Lobethal, set inside a converted 1800s garage, and it has a reputation as one of the more reliably dog-friendly stops in the Adelaide Hills.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables out front on Main Street. The indoor space doubles as a dense plant studio and cafe, and it is best treated as off-limits for dogs, so check with staff on the day if you are unsure. Water bowls are commonly put out for visiting dogs in the outdoor seating area. Keep leads short given the tables sit right on the main road.

Good to know. The cafe is known for house-made shortbread and pastries alongside its coffee, plus a plant studio and botanical sanctuary worth a browse if you are waiting on a table. It draws a steady local crowd, so outdoor seating can fill on weekend mornings.

Getting there and parking. The cafe is at 47 Main Street, Lobethal. Street parking is available directly out front and along the nearby side streets.

Nearby with the dogs. The Cudlee Creek area is a short drive away and offers scenic walking options if you want to stretch legs before or after coffee. Main Street itself is walkable for a post-coffee stroll through the town.
