Harry's Cafe & Deli

Harry's Cafe & Deli at 21 Anderson Street sits in the Templestowe Village shopping strip, a busy local cafe where dogs are welcome at the footpath tables out front. It is an easy coffee-and-breakfast stop with the dog settled beside you before or after a Yarra-side walk.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome in the outdoor footpath seating; they are not allowed inside. Staff often bring out a water bowl, but pack a collapsible one in case the morning rush gets away from them. Outdoor tables are limited, so weekends can mean a short wait for a spot; weekdays are the quieter window.

Worth knowing

Harry's is known for strong coffee, an all-day breakfast including eggs benedict, and quality deli and bakery items to take home. Hours run 6am to 4pm Monday to Friday, 7am to 4pm Saturday and 7am to 2pm Sunday, so it covers early starts as well as a late weekend breakfast.

Getting there and parking

Find it at 21 Anderson Street in the Templestowe Village strip, with free street parking on Anderson and Parker Streets and a large public car park behind the shops reached via James or Parker Street. The strip is compact, so walking in with the dog from the car park is straightforward.

Close by with the dogs

Westerfolds Park is about five minutes away for Yarra-side trails, though Parks Victoria keeps the whole park on-leash; for a proper run, the fenced enclosure at Banksia Park sits just across the river. Closer to the village, Templestowe Reserve has a designated off-leash area, and Finns Reserve along the Ruffey Creek trail is the longer option. Petty's Orchards is the same-suburb alternative stop.
