Mull Cafe, St Kilda

Mull Cafe is a small, casual spot at 78 Acland Street in St Kilda with a cannabis-culture theme running through its menu and merch. It is a quick stop rather than a long sit: coffee, matcha, fresh juices and toasties, served to footpath tables where dogs are welcome. For anyone walking the Acland Street strip with a dog, it is the easiest pause point on the block.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome at the outdoor footpath seating on Acland Street, which is really the option here, as indoor space is limited. The cafe does not stock dog treats, so carry your own portable water bowl and keep the lead short while foot traffic moves past.

Worth knowing

The menu centres on toasties, and the named ones travel well: The Euro and The Shroom Melt, plus a chicken toastie and bagels. Matcha and a range of non-alcoholic terpene-infused drinks are the signature pours, alongside espresso and juices. The vibe is relaxed and community-minded, and it generally trades through daytime hours, mornings to mid afternoon.

Getting there and parking

Acland Street is metered along the strip and on the side streets, so most locals arrive on foot. The route 96 tram stops nearby, and the cafe sits naturally between St Kilda Beach and Fitzroy Street if you are walking a longer loop.

Close by with the dogs

Peanut Farm Reserve Dog Off Leash Area is a short walk towards the beach, and St Kilda Beach Dog Off Leash Area gives your dog sand and water time before or after your coffee. O'Donnell Gardens sits just behind Acland Street for a quick shaded break. If you want a bigger sit-down brunch nearby, Space-cafe on Fitzroy Street also welcomes dogs.

Pepsi: Order the toastie, take the footpath table, and let the Acland Street parade of dogs do the entertainment.
