Daly Coffee Kick

Daly Coffee Kick sits at 31 Fisher Street in Magill, right beside Daly Oval, and has become a genuine local favourite with dog owners. On a busy weekend the big undercover outdoor area fills with leashed dogs lounging beside the tables, sometimes outnumbering the humans.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome in the outdoor undercover seating area rather than indoors. Water is available on request, and staff are accommodating with visiting dogs, though it is worth bringing your own bowl if your dog is fussy. Because weekends turn into a bit of a dog party under the awning, it suits a sociable pup best.

Worth knowing

The coffee is solid barista work, and the menu covers breakfast and lunch with brioche rolls, muffins, wraps, croissants and a good run of vegetarian and vegan options. It is a community hub as much as a cafe: there is a kids' corner, a Friday morning playgroup and regular events like paint and sip sessions, so expect a family crowd. Hours run 8am to 2pm Tuesday to Friday and 8am to 1pm on weekends, with Mondays closed.

Getting there and parking

The cafe sits beside the Daly Oval grounds on Fisher Street. Street parking is available but tight on weekend mornings, so allow a short walk in from further down the street.

Pepsi: weekends here are basically a dog party under the awning, so if your dog gets overexcited around other dogs, aim for a weekday visit instead.

Close by with the dogs

A lap of the oval next door is the easy leg-stretch, and the Four Paws Park Fenced Dog Park in Hectorville is a short drive for a proper off-lead run. For another dog-friendly coffee nearby, Caffe Lupo in Tranmere works, and Catlin on Magill adds a cellar door option in the same street.

Weekday mornings are the calmest if you want a quieter coffee. More options are on the dog friendly cafes in South Australia list or the Magill guide.
