Sushi And Coffee

Sushi And Coffee is a compact sushi and bento shop at Shop 14, Mountain High Shopping Centre on High Street in Bayswater, in Melbourne's outer east. Reviewers rate the fresh sushi rolls, the bento boxes and the long black coffee, and with free parking right outside the centre it is a low-effort stop for a quick meal when you have your dog with you.

The dog setup

Dogs are not permitted inside the food premises at Mountain High, which is standard under Victorian food safety rules for every cafe and eatery in the centre, assistance dogs aside. The plaza's outdoor walkways and common areas are where a leashed dog waits comfortably while you order, and the centre has said staff at its businesses are happy to take orders outside for customers with dogs. Treat it as an order-and-wait stop rather than a sit-down visit: the seating itself is inside the centre, so plan for a short stroll on the plaza while your food is made. Bring your own water bowl, as there is no dog-specific setup on the plaza.

What people come back for

The chicken katsu curry dry udon gets particular praise, alongside the teriyaki rice bowls and the serving sizes generally. If you just want a coffee and a sushi roll pack, that is exactly what the menu delivers, and the Uber Eats listing confirms the same menu runs for delivery and pickup.

Getting there and parking

Sushi And Coffee is at Shop 14, Mountain High Shopping Centre, 7 High Street, Bayswater. The centre has extensive free parking directly outside, including spaces near Coles, so the walk from car to order point is short, which helps if your dog is older or the weather is ordinary. Hours run 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 4pm Saturday, with Sunday closed.

Max: it is a takeaway-and-walk arrangement here. Order at the counter, step back out to the plaza, and you have a fresh sushi lunch and a happy dog in the same five minutes.

Close by with the dogs
