JUNE

JUNE is the neighbourhood cafe of the Winston Hills Mall precinct on Caroline Chisholm Drive, a bright, open cafe that has built a big local following, at 4.6 stars from more than five hundred reviews. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables, which makes it an easy pairing with a lap of the nearby Barnett Park, and the kitchen keeps going past breakfast all day.

The dog setup

Dogs join you at the outdoor tables, on lead; indoors is generally people-only aside from service animals, so check with staff when you arrive. Water bowls are put out for dogs, though it is worth bringing your own for busy periods. Weekend mornings get busy, so call ahead if you want to be sure of a table outside.

Worth knowing

Daytime is classic cafe fare with a creative streak: well-rated coffee and batch brew, prawn pasta, bruschetta, falafel wrap and vegan and vegetarian options, plus signature pancakes with Persian fairy floss for the sweet tooth. The extra gear is the Friday and Saturday night service, which turns into small plates and share-style food with beer, wine and cocktails, so it doubles as a dinner option rather than a breakfast-only local. The kind staff come up repeatedly in reviews. Hours shift between daytime and dinner service across the week, so check the website before a dinner plan.

Getting there and parking

JUNE sits in the Winston Hills Mall car park precinct, with ample free parking right there and easy walking access from the surrounding residential streets.

Close by with the dogs

The Barnett Park Fenced Dog Park is right by the mall, a City of Parramatta facility with separate fenced sections for small and large dogs, water dispensers and supplied poo bags, open 7am to 8pm. The Balcombe Heights Reserve Fenced Dog Park in Baulkham Hills is another fenced option open around the clock, and the Pemulwuy Loop gives an on-lead trail alternative. For another dog-friendly local, The Hideout Cafe is in Old Toongabbie.

More options are on the NSW dog friendly cafes guide and the Winston Hills destination page.

Pepsi: fenced run at Barnett Park, then prawn pasta at the outdoor tables. On a Friday night it is small plates and cocktails, so check the dinner service before bringing the dog.
