Cafe Four92

Cafe Four92 takes its name from its address at 492 High Street, Preston, and runs 7am to 2:30pm every day of the week. It is one of the friendlier dog stops on this stretch: water bowls sit out the front and puppychinos are made for canine customers who settle in at the outdoor seating along High Street.

The dog setup

The outdoor tables run along the High Street frontage and dogs are part of the furniture here, with the water bowls and puppychinos signalling dogs are expected rather than merely tolerated. The street is a main road, so keep a lead on and pick a table back from the kerb. Hours finish at 2:30pm daily, which makes this a breakfast and lunch venue rather than an afternoon one. The brekkie burger and the egg and bacon roll are the morning anchors, the ham cheese toastie keeps things simple, and portions draw regular callouts for being generous.

Worth knowing

Preston's dog parks are all within a few minutes' drive of High Street, which makes an easy pattern: a reserve walk first, then coffee. The 7am opening is handy for anyone exercising a dog early before work, and the seven-day consistency means you do not have to plan around a closed Sunday. High Street trams run past the door, so factor in tram noise if your dog is not used to it.

Close by with the dogs

Nearby dog-friendly coffee includes Red Bean Coffee Roaster and Tylers Milkbar, with Jackson Dodds a short ride south. The G.H. Mott Reserve dog off leash area is the closest off-leash option. The Preston page lists the full suburb set.
