The Paddock Project

An organic farm, cafe, and community project on Argyle Street in Mullumbimby, built around chemical-free produce grown on-site. The garden setting is the draw for dog owners - room to sit among the beds rather than squeezed onto a footpath.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome through the gardens and outdoor seating, with plenty of space to settle in the green surrounds. Treats for dogs are sometimes on hand, but bring your own water bowl. Keep your dog on a lead through the garden and busier areas.

Good to know. The focus is fresh, organic, on-site produce, with reviewers mentioning the croissants, salads, and general garden-to-plate feel. As much a community hub as a cafe, so expect a relaxed, unhurried pace.

Getting there. Street parking is available on Argyle Street, and it is an easy reach from central Mullumbimby.

Good for a slow morning where the dog gets space and greenery rather than a tight streetside table.
