Yarra Organics

Yarra Organics is the organic cafe and farm shop within Petty's Orchards at Homestead Road, Templestowe, sitting right on the Yarra Trail in a rustic, riverside orchard setting. Dogs on leads are welcome in the outdoor seating, making it a natural coffee stop on a walk or ride.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome on-lead in the shaded outdoor seating beside the orchard, and the cafe has put in a dedicated dog water bowl station. The indoor space is limited, so the outdoor seating is the spot. Keep dogs leashed given the foot traffic, the working orchard and local wildlife.

Good to know. Known for good coffee, homemade pies and cakes, Devonshire teas, and fresh organic produce from the farm shop. The setting is the draw: green, quiet and rustic, directly on the trail.

Getting there. Find it at Homestead Road, Templestowe, with a free on-site car park. It sits on the Yarra Trail, so it is a popular stop for cyclists and walkers.

Nearby with the dogs. The Yarra riverside walk runs straight past, ideal before or after coffee. Note that dogs are not permitted in some restricted park areas nearby, including Candlebark Park, so check signage.
