Meraki Kitchen

Meraki Kitchen is a health-focused cafe on Kiewa Street in South Albury, just south of the Albury CBD grid. Dogs are welcome at the alfresco footpath tables out front, so it works as a coffee stop on a walk rather than a sit-down-inside meal.

The dog setup. Bring the dog to the outdoor footpath seating; the indoor room is not the place for them. Seat your dog on the outer edge of the tables so there is room for other people to pass, since this is a street-front strip with foot traffic. Staff will often bring a water bowl, but pack a collapsible one to be sure.

Good to know. The kitchen leans healthy and seasonal - fresh salads in summer, heartier plates in the cooler months - with solid gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options. Locals rate the coffee.

Getting there. Street parking sits directly out front and around the surrounding streets. It is an easy walk from central Albury if you are already out with the dog.

Nearby with the dogs. Noreuil Park Foreshore is a short stroll or drive towards the Murray for a riverside leg-stretch, and the Albury Botanic Gardens are close by for a leafy on-leash wander.

Come mid-morning on a weekday if you want an easy footpath table. Good for a quick coffee break mid-walk rather than a long lingering brunch.
