Tyler's Milkbar

Tyler's Milkbar is a small, hyper-local cafe on Plenty Road in Preston serving all-day breakfast and house-made baked goods. For dog owners the draw is the rear courtyard, a sheltered spot where well-behaved dogs are made welcome.

The dog setup. Dogs are allowed in the outdoor courtyard and often at the front footpath seating. Staff are friendly to dogs and water bowls are usually on hand. It is a popular venue, so the courtyard is where you want to be to settle a dog comfortably.

Good to know. The kitchen leans simple and hearty, with a solid range of vegetarian and vegan options alongside the coffee. The atmosphere is cosy and genuinely local.

Getting there. The 86 tram stops almost directly outside (around stop 47, Gower Street). Free street parking is generally available on the residential side streets, subject to signage.

When to go. It is a tight space, so mid-week or early Saturday gives you the best chance at a courtyard table with a larger dog. Closed Sundays and Mondays.
