Fingers Crossed Cafe

Fingers Crossed is a local brunch cafe on Maroondah Highway in Ringwood, an easy stop right on the main road. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables.

The dog setup. Dogs sit with you in the outdoor seating along the front and side of the cafe, which is generally shaded and sheltered. Water bowls are often about and staff are used to dog owners. Bring your own bowl and keep the lead handy at busier times, when the footpath area fills up.

Good to know. The draw is the coffee and a broad breakfast and lunch menu that covers a range of dietary needs, with friendly service.

Getting there. Right on Maroondah Highway. Street parking out front is limited, so the nearby side streets are usually a better bet. A short walk from Ringwood Station.

Nearby with the dogs. Ringwood Lake Park is a couple of minutes away with walking tracks and open space for a stroll before or after coffee.
