The Green Barista Cafe

The Green Barista Cafe is a small, family-run cafe set in a historic building in a quiet shopping precinct on Pace Road, Medina, and it is one of the more genuinely pet-friendly stops in Perth's south. Dogs are welcome at the alfresco tables out front, shaded by big old trees that give the strip its charm.

The dog setup

Dogs are restricted to the outdoor alfresco seating, which is the practical choice anyway given the intimate indoor room. Keep your dog leashed and clear of the footpath so other diners can pass. Staff are friendly toward pets and will usually supply water, but bring your own bowl if you want to be certain.

Worth knowing

The kitchen specialises in cooking for dietary intolerances, with gluten-free, dairy-free and coeliac-friendly food made fresh to order from locally sourced ingredients, alongside brunch staples like shakshuka and eggs benedict. It is a morning-and-lunch spot rather than a late one, so plan the visit around your walk.

Getting there and parking

The cafe is at Shop 10, 19 Pace Road, Medina, within a small shopping precinct. There is ample free street parking directly in front of the complex, and it is an easy stop if you are already in the Kwinana area or passing between Rockingham and Perth.

Close by with the dogs

For a walk before or after, the Eden Park dog park in neighbouring Wellard gives your dog a proper run, and Peace Park in Parmelia is close by for a quieter stretch. If you are heading towards the coast afterwards, the Kwinana horse beach at East Rockingham welcomes dogs too.
