ROAR CAFE

ROAR Cafe on Princes Highway is one of the more openly dog-welcoming spots in Rockdale, a health-leaning cafe that regularly posts the dogs who visit and sets water bowls out for them. If you want a brunch stop where the dog is genuinely part of the plan rather than tolerated, this is the pick.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area, which is casual and roomy. Staff are known for looking after visiting dogs with water and the occasional treat, so it is a comfortable spot to land after a walk.

Good to know. The menu leans health-conscious, with protein smoothies, wholefood plates and coffee. It is a newer, community-minded cafe, so the review count is still small but consistently warm.

Getting there. The cafe sits on Princes Highway within walking distance of Rockdale Station on the T4 line. Street parking is available on the highway and side streets like Bay Street, though it can fill quickly at busy times.

Nearby with the dogs. Rockdale Park is close by for a walk before or after, and the wider Bayside foreshore paths are a short drive away for a longer outing.
