MANO DELI

Mano Deli is a retro-style neighbourhood cafe and deli on the Shannon Avenue strip in Manifold Heights, a Geelong suburb. Dog owners head here for the outdoor footpath tables that let you settle in for a proper sandwich and specialty coffee with your dog alongside you.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor al fresco seating along the footpath out front, with a mix of high-top and standard tables. As a food-service deli, dogs are not permitted inside. Staff will often provide water on request.

Good to know. The menu leans into gourmet sandwiches and focaccias built on Zeally Bay sourdough, with large portions and quality ingredients across options like an Iberian-style sandwich. The coffee is highly rated and the atmosphere is bustling and welcoming. Free 1-2 hour parking sits directly out front on Shannon Avenue, with more in the surrounding residential side streets. Footpath access is flat and easy.

For more dog-friendly spots nearby, consider 63 Degrees in Geelong West or Kardinia Cafe in Newtown.

Weekday mornings are the quietest window. Weekends get busy on the Shannon Avenue strip, so arrive early to grab an outdoor table.
