Melo Cafe

Melo Cafe is a bright, plant-filled neighbourhood cafe on Longview Road in Windsor Gardens, known for Japanese-fusion brunch dishes, and dogs are genuinely welcome in the covered outdoor seating area.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area, which is covered and heated, so it works year-round rather than just in good weather. Water bowls are often put out for visiting dogs. The space is on the small side and can fill up, so a courtyard table is not always guaranteed at busy times.

Good to know. The brunch menu gets consistent praise, chilli scrambled eggs, smashed avo, red velvet pancakes and burgers, alongside quality coffee and matcha.

Getting there. Address is 1/1 Longview Road, Windsor Gardens. Free on-site parking plus free street parking, with easy access from North East Road.

Nearby with the dogs. The Linear Park Trail along the River Torrens is a short drive away for a walk before or after brunch.

Weekday mornings are the easiest time to get outdoor seating, weekend brunch service gets busy fast given the small footprint.
