Noggos Kitchen and Coffee

Noggos Kitchen and Coffee at 38 Peninsula Road in Maylands is about as dog-led as a Perth cafe gets, with locals describing it as dog lovers first and coffee second. There is a wall of customer-dog art by way of proof, the team keeps puppuccinos and treats on hand, and the kitchen turns out a breakfast menu with a genuine following.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome at the front outdoor seating, and reviewers report dogs are allowed inside with their owners as well, though the indoor space is limited, so confirm with staff on the day if you want an inside table. The pet-friendly seating is on the smaller side, so quieter times suit anxious dogs better than the weekend rush, when the room fills with dogs and their people.

Max: The outdoor area can get tight when it is full. If your dog needs space, aim for an off-peak slot rather than the weekend rush.

Worth knowing

The coffee rates highly, and the kitchen is known for its big breakfast sandwich, bacon and egg rolls, poached eggs with avocado, smashed avo with haloumi and the chicken burger, plus gluten-free options including brownies and mango smoothies on the drinks side. Hours run 6:30am to 2:30pm weekdays and 7am to 2:30pm weekends, so it is a morning-and-lunch operation.

Getting there and parking

The cafe sits on Peninsula Road close to the Swan River, with free street parking usually available on the surrounding streets. Maylands station is nearby if you are coming by train, though most dog owners arrive on foot from the river side.

Pair it with

The Riverside Gardens Dog Beach at Bayswater is the closest proper river swim and off-leash run, and the Ascot Park Fenced Dog Park covers the other side of the peninsula. Remember City of Bayswater rules: on-lead by default on the foreshore paths except in signed off-leash areas. If you are working through Maylands' dog-friendly cafes, JUNI Cafe and Mrs. S Cafe are the other local stops.
