Andonis Cafe & Bar, Ormeau Hills

Andonis Cafe & Bar on Dalma Street in Ormeau Hills is a Greek-influenced brunch spot that treats dogs as proper guests. Alongside the regular breakfast and lunch menu sits a dedicated doggy menu, which is the main reason this one stands out from a typical suburban cafe.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area at the front of the cafe, and staff bring out water bowls without being asked. The doggy menu runs from the Puppelato, a coconut milk based peanut butter gelato with bacon bits, to a warm Doggy Latte with liver sprinkles, plus items like Little Paw Benedict and doggy doughnuts. Keep your dog leashed at the table and settled under it; the front area is footpath style, so there is passing foot traffic to stay on top of.

The vibe

It is a busy, family-friendly cafe with large brunch portions and a Greek-Australian tilt to the menu, and it fills up on weekends. If you want a calm table with a reactive dog, aim for a weekday morning rather than the Saturday rush.

Getting there

You will find it at 1 Dalma Street, Ormeau Hills, with street parking generally easy to find on Dalma Street and the surrounding residential streets. It sits a short drive off the M1 corridor, which makes it a handy stop between Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

Close by with the dogs

Circuit Park Fenced Agility Dog Park is a short drive away, a good run before brunch. Vennor Reserve in Ormeau is another fenced option, and Lil-Ego Kiosk covers quick grab-and-go coffees closer to the motorway.
