Station Stop Cafe

Station Stop Cafe sits directly opposite Parkdale train station on Como Parade West, which makes it an easy meeting point for a walk. Dogs are welcome at the footpath tables out front, and it is open daily for morning coffee, breakfast and lunch.

The dog setup. The outdoor seating is on the front footpath, so access is easy with a dog in tow. Staff are used to dogs and will generally bring water on request. It is a popular spot, so arrive earlier if you want a roomier table where your dog is not underfoot.

Good to know. Regulars rate it for friendly, attentive service and for its coffee and cakes. Being right across from the station makes it a simple pick-up or drop-off point before a longer walk.

Getting there. It is opposite Parkdale Station on the Frankston line, with street parking along Como Parade West. The beach foreshore is a short walk away.

When to go. Weekday mornings are calmer for an outdoor table. Pair it with a stroll down to the Parkdale foreshore afterwards.
