Mr Martins

Mr Martins is a cozy local cafe on Lambourn Road in Watsonia, serving breakfast, brunch and lunch to a village-strip crowd, with outdoor footpath tables for dogs.

Dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor street-side tables. Indoor seating is for human patrons. Water bowl availability can vary, so bring your own just in case, and keep your dog leashed and settled with the foot traffic on Lambourn Road.

Known for. Freshly baked muffins, reliable coffee and a made-to-order breakfast and lunch menu with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.

Getting there. 2D Lambourn Road, Watsonia, just off the main Watsonia Road shopping strip. Street parking is available on Lambourn Road and surrounding streets, and it's a short walk from Watsonia Train Station.

Nearby with the dogs. Watsonia Dog Park is a short walk away for a run before or after coffee, and Honey Cafe is close by on the town square for another outdoor-table option.

Mid-morning on a weekday is quietest if you want a calmer footpath table for your dog.
