Coffee On Bate

Coffee On Bate is a local cafe at 7/1 Bate Close in Pakenham's industrial pocket, known for friendly service, good coffee and hearty breakfasts. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables, and the quiet weekend setting makes it an easy, low-key stop.

The dog setup. Dogs join you in the outdoor seating area; inside is for people only. The outdoor tables give room to sit comfortably with a dog beside you, and staff often bring out a water bowl for dogs.

Good to know. The cafe is well-rated for coffee, with a popular Hard Yakka breakfast wrap, homemade sausage rolls, quiches and gourmet lunch packs. The crowd is a casual mix of local workers and regulars, busiest on weekday mornings and quieter on Saturdays.

Getting there. Free on-site parking sits immediately in front of the cafe, with more around the industrial estate. There is wheelchair-accessible parking and entry.

Nearby with the dogs. The industrial streets are quiet for a leashed walk on weekends, and Pakenham Lakeside Park is a short drive for a longer outing.
