The Garden Feast Nursery Cafe Functions

The Garden Feast is a family-run nursery in Werribee with the Feasting Shed cafe set inside it, and the combination does exactly what dog owners hope for: a leafy outdoor terrace surrounded by plants, a kitchen with a proper seasonal menu, and staff who keep house-made dog bickies and puppuccinos on hand. The setting is the event, a rustic feasting shed among foliage and roses rather than a footpath table on a main road.

The dog setup

Well-behaved dogs are welcomed at the outdoor terrace and courtyard seating, and pups are usually fine to walk through the nursery with you, which turns a coffee stop into a proper browse. Treats and puppuccinos are a regular rather than rare offering. Bring your own water bowl as insurance, and keep dogs close around the plant displays.

The menu

The Feasting Shed runs an all-day seasonal menu from smashed avo and hearty breakfast plates to roasted mains for lunch, plus scones, lemon tarts, good coffee and specialty hot chocolates. High tea bookings make it a weekend-occasion spot. Cafe hours run 9am to 3:30pm on weekdays and 9am to 4pm on weekends, with the nursery trading slightly longer, so check before a late-afternoon visit.

Getting there and parking

You will find it inside the nursery on Railway Avenue in Werribee, a few minutes from the city centre, with on-site parking that fills during weekend brunch. Weekday mornings are the quiet window for a settled dog.

While you're out there

The Diversion Weir Dog Off Leash Area sits on the Werribee River for an off-lead run and splash, and Levittown Rise Dog Park is the fenced fallback. In town, Wolf on Watton is the other big dog-friendly Werribee coffee stop.

More options are on the Victoria dog friendly cafes guide and the Werribee destination page.
