What visitors mention
Ellen's Cafe is a casual local spot on Seabeach Parade in North Shore, Geelong, known around the neighbourhood for its sausage rolls and homemade baking. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor footpath seating area, making it an easy coffee stop before or after a walk along the nearby waterfront.
Dog setup: Dogs are allowed outside on the footpath seating, not inside the cafe. Keep dogs leashed and settled beside your table, there is no dedicated water bowl mentioned, so bring your own for a hot day.
Good to know: The kitchen makes everything on site, sausage rolls, focaccia, burek and vanilla slice all get regular mentions, and the staff have a reputation for being welcoming. Open weekday mornings through early afternoon and Saturday mornings, closed Sundays, so check current hours before you go.
Getting there: Free street parking is available along Seabeach Parade. It is an easy stop if you are already walking the North Shore foreshore.
Nearby: The North Shore waterfront and Moorpanyal Dog Area are both a short walk away for a run-around before or after your coffee.
