Loveon Cafe

Loveon Cafe sits at 39 Gladstone Road in Mile End, a short distance from the Adelaide CBD and Thebarton. It draws a steady local crowd for breakfast and brunch, and the real draw for dog owners is the designated outdoor seating area where well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome.

The dog setup. Dogs are permitted in the outdoor vintage-style space. Water bowls are usually provided, and standard polite cafe etiquette applies. Keep your dog leashed and settled at your table.

Known for. Specialty coffee and a creative brunch menu using locally sourced produce. Expect smash avo, chicken quesadillas, pancakes, and a solid range of vegetarian and vegan options.

Getting there. Free street parking is typically available on Gladstone Road and surrounding streets, though weekends get busy. Local buses run along nearby Sir Donald Bradman Drive. Opening hours are Monday and Wednesday through Sunday, 6:30 AM to 2:30 PM, closed Tuesdays.

Nearby with the dogs. The Adelaide Parklands are within a brisk walk for a stretch of the legs, and the River Torrens linear path through Thebarton offers scenic walking. For another dog-friendly stop nearby, Mister Sunshine's in Thebarton is worth a look.

When to go. Aim for an early weekday breakfast to sidestep the weekend brunch rush and secure outdoor seating without a wait.
