Kita

Kita is a small, eclectic cafe tucked into the Narrabundah shops on Boolimba Crescent, known locally for eclectic late-night hours as much as its Indonesian-leaning menu. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor courtyard.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in Kita's refurbished outdoor courtyard, which is sunny and comfortable, but not inside the main dining room. Keep dogs leashed and close given the courtyard is shared with other diners, and bring your own water bowl as one isn't guaranteed to be put out.

Known for. Kita is one of Canberra's only genuinely late-night cafes, often open into the early hours Wednesday to Saturday as well as weekend mornings, with a relaxed, bohemian feel and solid coffee and comfort food.

Getting there. Kita sits within the small Narrabundah local shops. Free, non-metered street parking is available right in front, so it is an easy stop by car or on foot if you are staying nearby.

Nearby with the dogs. Narrabundah Oval is close by and a popular local spot for a walk before or after coffee, and the surrounding streets are quiet enough for a leg-stretch.

Go for a weekend morning coffee run or, if your dog is used to a later night out, join the late crowd, just keep to the courtyard and confirm current hours before you head over as they can shift.
