Hey Sunshine Cafe

Hey Sunshine Cafe is a bright, well-reviewed local on McNamara Street in Macleod, and one of the more dog-welcoming spots in the village, letting dogs in both the indoor space and the outdoor seating.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome inside the cafe as well as outside. Water bowls are set out to keep dogs hydrated, and a jar of dog treats is usually on the counter for four-legged customers. Keep dogs settled given the compact indoor space.

Known for. Well-regarded coffee, an extensive toastie menu including a slow-cooked pastrami Reuben, house-made Portuguese tarts, muffins and brownies.

Getting there. 23 McNamara Street, Macleod. Free parking is available on surrounding streets, and it's a short walk from Macleod station.

Nearby with the dogs. Macleod Park is close by for a runaround, and Banyule Flats Reserve, about five minutes' drive away, has longer walking trails.

When to go. The cafe is closed Sunday and Monday, so plan a weekday visit. Tuesday to Friday mornings tend to be calmer than the Saturday rush.
