Coffee Home Cafe Seaford

Coffee Home Cafe is a casual, family-run cafe on the Nepean Highway in Seaford, a short walk from the beachfront, and it is a reliable stop with the dog before or after a foreshore walk. The sunny deck out front is the dog zone, and staff have a friendly reputation with canine visitors.

The dog setup

Dogs join you in the outdoor seating, with footpath and deck tables that make it easy to settle a dog beside you; the indoor room stays human-only. Water bowls are usually available, though it is worth asking staff on arrival during busy spells. The deck sits back slightly from the highway traffic, which helps nervous dogs settle.

Pepsi: the deck tables nearest the building are the quietest if your dog is unsure about traffic and prams.

The vibe

Axil specialty coffee, all-day breakfast, house-made muffins and a good run of vegetarian and vegan dishes are the draw, with chilli eggs and hash browns among the regular orders. Hours run 7:30am to 4pm Tuesday to Sunday, closed Mondays.

Getting there and parking

The cafe is at Suite 2/131 Nepean Highway, Seaford, close to Seaford Station and a short walk from the beach. Street parking runs along the highway and the side streets, and it gets busy on warm weekend mornings when the beach crowd is out.

Close by with the dogs

The headline pairing is Seaford (Keast Park) Off-Leash Dog Beach, a designated 200-metre stretch of sand that is off-lead year round. Inland, Maple Reserve Dog Off Leash Area covers the park option, and the Kananook Creek track makes a shaded on-lead walk. For another coffee with the dog, Cafe La Wheels is nearby on the Seaford strip.

More options are on the Victoria dog friendly cafes guide and the Seaford destination page.
