The Old Butcher Shop Cafe

The Old Butcher Shop Cafe is a local eatery at 31 Challinor Street, Sadliers Crossing (Ipswich), open seven days for all-day breakfast and lunch. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area, which is the key draw for dog owners wanting a casual meal without leaving their dog at home.

The dog setup. Dogs are permitted at the outdoor tables. Keep your dog leashed and under control while seated outside. There is no confirmed detail on water bowls or treats being provided, so bring your own water bottle and bowl to be safe.

Known for. Hearty comfort food including Eggs Benedict, savoury mince and freshly baked cakes, alongside coffee using locally roasted beans from Ipswich Coffee Roasters. Seasonal specials crop up on the menu, such as spiced winter chocolate chai and roasted pumpkin soup. It is a popular spot for locals grabbing a quick coffee or a casual meal.

Getting there & parking. The cafe sits on the corner of Challinor Street and a quiet residential street. Street parking is available directly out the front on Challinor Street and on adjacent roads.

Nearby with the dogs. A local park sits directly across the road, and the leafy residential streets of Sadliers Crossing are well suited to a gentle stroll with your dog before or after your meal. If you want an off-leash run, the Off Leash Dog Park North Ipswich is nearby in North Ipswich. For another dog-friendly bite, Cafe Tulmur and Fourthchild Café & Restaurant both welcome dogs too.

Best suited to a relaxed weekday breakfast or an early weekend coffee when the outdoor tables are quieter. Doors open at 6:30am weekdays and 7am weekends.
