Ebden & Olive Cafe

Ebden & Olive is a cafe and providore on Ebden Street in South Albury, just off the main commercial strip near the railway line. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor deck seating out front, making it an easy footpath stop in the Border city.

The dog setup

Dogs take the outdoor deck in front of the cafe; the indoor room is not open to them. The tables sit close to the street, so expect a casual, busy feel rather than a quiet corner.

Water bowls are often on hand, but bringing your own is the safe habit on a hot Riverina morning.

The vibe

The coffee gets consistent praise, and the kitchen is known for its sandwiches, the croque monsieur in particular. As a providore, it also stocks artisan bread and pantry goods you can carry home.

Weekday mornings are the calmer window for a footpath table, and the quick turnover suits a travelling day when Albury is a stop on the Hume rather than the destination.

It trades as a breakfast-and-lunch room, so plan the visit mid-walk rather than as a long sit-down.

Getting there

Street parking runs along Ebden Street directly out front, with more in the surrounding residential streets of South Albury.

Pair it with

The off-leash running happens at Oddies Creek leash-free area a short drive north, and Alexandra Park Fenced Dog Park covers the secure-yard option.

Leafy parks sit within a short walk for a pre- or post-coffee wander, and Noreuil Park Foreshore is minutes away for a riverside path along the Murray.

More Border tables are in the New South Wales cafe guide and the area's other spots are on the South Albury destination page.
