V’s Viet Cafe

V's Viet Cafe is a family-run Vietnamese spot on Fifth Avenue in Marsden, popular for its banh mi and brunch plates and genuinely welcoming to dogs rather than just tolerant of them.

The setup. Dogs are welcome with you in the outdoor and footpath seating. Staff are used to well-behaved dogs at the table and some visitors report a dedicated dog menu with treats on offer, so it is worth asking when you order. Keep your dog on a lead and close to your table, the seating area is shared with other diners.

Known for. The crispy pork banh mi and eggs benny come up again and again in reviews, along with Vietnamese coffee and a relaxed, friendly service style.

Getting there. The cafe is at Shop 8/1-13 Fifth Ave, Marsden. There is free street parking and a free parking lot nearby, plus a wheelchair-accessible entrance.

Nearby with the dogs. Brandon Park Fenced Dog Park is a short drive away if your dog needs to burn off energy before or after coffee.

When to go. Weekday mornings are your best bet for a quiet table before the brunch rush fills the outdoor seating. Good for owners who want a relaxed coffee stop rather than a big dog-park day out.
