What visitors mention
Harper's Kitchen is a relaxed, fully licensed local cafe at 78 Inkerman Street, open early and well used by St Kilda's morning crowd. Maori-owned and LGBTQ+ friendly, it has an easygoing feel that extends to dogs.
The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating, which includes front footpath tables and a courtyard. Staff often bring out a water bowl, but pack your own just in case.
Good to know. The cafe is known for breakfast, brunch and lunch, with the bagels, chai and house-made chips drawing repeat visits, and the coffee gets consistent praise. It opens from 7am.
Getting there. Street parking runs along Inkerman Street and the surrounding residential streets and can be busy in the mornings. Trams on nearby St Kilda Road and Chapel Street are within walking distance.
Nearby with the dogs. It is a short walk to smaller local parks and a longer one down to St Kilda Pier and Catani Gardens.
