Mister Rabbit Cafe

Mister Rabbit Cafe is a quiet neighbourhood brunch spot on Wilgarning Street, right where Stafford runs into Stafford Heights, and dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables. It trades on the things locals actually want at 6am: good coffee, generous plates and staff who get to know the regulars, dogs included.

The dog setup

Dogs sit with you in the outdoor seating sections, which is where the cafe keeps its pet friendly tables. Water bowls come out for canine visitors and the kitchen has been known to send over a puppuccino. QR code ordering from the table is a small thing that helps here, because nobody has to tie the lead to a chair and wander inside to pay.

The vibe

This is a suburban cafe rather than a big brunch barn, and the feel is cosy and unhurried. Reviewers consistently mention the smoothies, the food presentation and the serving sizes, along with pleasant staff. The trade off is that the kitchen can fall behind when the room fills, so a patient dog with a mat to settle on does best here.

Getting there and parking

The cafe is at 69 Wilgarning Street, Stafford, on the Stafford Heights border. Street parking on Wilgarning and the surrounding residential streets is straightforward. Doors open at 5:30am on weekdays and 6:30am on weekends, with kitchen service finishing at 2pm, so early mornings are the calm window with a dog in tow.

Close by with the dogs

For an off leash run before breakfast, the Grey Gum Park fenced dog park is the closest option, and Webster Road Park gives you a second fenced choice in the same suburb. If coffee one is busy, Crummble Coffee and Toasties on Kitchener Road is another dog friendly local a few minutes away.

Pepsi: They brought me my own little cup of cream while the humans argued about smoothies. Stafford Heights understands service.
