Moon Rabbit Cafe

Moon Rabbit is a social-enterprise cafe on High Street in Preston, run by Bridge Darebin to train young people with additional learning needs. It is openly dog-welcoming, which sets it apart from the usual footpath-only arrangement.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor areas, and the cafe has a track record of dog-friendly days with house-made dog treats. Keep your dog on a lead. The vibe is casual and genuinely happy to see pups.

Good to know. The menu covers coffee, cakes, jaffles and a strong vegan and vegetarian range. Profits go back into community programs, so a visit does a bit of good.

Getting there. A short walk from Preston station on the Mernda line, with the 86 tram running along High Street. Free street parking nearby, though it gets busy.

When to go. Hours skew to weekday mornings and the cafe is closed Friday to Sunday, so plan a mid-week brunch. Pair it with a High Street stroll.
