Mickey's Cafe

Mickey's Cafe, trading as Mickey's & Nickey's, is a small Italian patisserie on Zillmere Road known for cannoli, tiramisu and a warm welcome. It is a coffee-and-pastry stop rather than a sit-down meal, and dogs are welcome in the outdoor footpath seating out front.

The dog setup. Seating is on the footpath frontage along Zillmere Road, not a separate courtyard. Dogs are welcome here on lead while you order at the counter. Staff have been known to offer a puppacino, and a water bowl is generally on hand, but bring your own bowl if your dog is fussy about sharing.

Known for. Pistachio cannoli and other Italian sweets, a strong iced latte, and a genuinely friendly owner who remembers regulars, dog included.

Getting there. It sits on the Zillmere Road shopping strip with free street parking nearby and a small free lot, so it is an easy stop rather than a destination park.

Nearby with the dogs. O'Callaghan Park is close by for a stretch of the legs before or after coffee.

Go on a weekday morning for the quietest footpath tables, and confirm current hours before heading over as they shift slightly between weekdays and Saturday.
