Hobart Deli

Hobart Deli is a deli-cafe on Hobart Street in North Perth doing all-day breakfast and lunch out of a warm, rustic room. Dogs are welcome at the front footpath tables, which makes it an easy stop on a Highgate or North Perth walk. Hours run 7am to 2pm every day, so it is a morning and lunch venue rather than an afternoon one.

The dog setup

Dogs sit at the outdoor footpath seating out front, where staff are known to bring water and, by some accounts, the odd treat. The room inside is on the cosy side, so the footpath is the spot with a dog in tow. On busy weekend mornings the tables fill early; a weekday visit gives you more room to settle. Leashed dogs only, as the footpath seating sits on a public verge.

The vibe and the food

The kitchen runs a modern take on cafe staples: French toast, Korean street toast, the Hobart sausage and egg muffin and a brekky burger are among the regular orders, and the cabinet is stacked with house-made cakes and pastries. There are gluten-free options including a paleo pumpkin bread with avocado and dukkah, and the cheeseburger uses Princi Angus beef if you are there at lunch. Coffee gets consistent praise, with almond flat whites and matcha lattes popular picks.

Getting there and parking

The address is 45 Hobart Street, North Perth. Street parking runs along Hobart Street and the surrounding residential streets, and it is a short walk from the bus routes along Fitzgerald Street. A fenced playground sits directly across the road, but dogs are not permitted inside its fence, so keep that as a people-side stop.

Close by with the dogs

For an off-leash run either side of brunch, Jack Marks Reserve Fenced Dog Park in Highgate is a short drive south, and Hyde Park's lake loop is a moderate walk away for a leashed stretch. More dog-friendly coffee nearby includes Hank's Corner on Scarborough Beach Road and Angove Kitchen and Espresso Bar on the Angove Street strip.

More spots in the neighbourhood are listed on the North Perth destination page, and the wider set of dog-friendly cafes is on the Western Australia cafe guide.
