Mix Takeaway

Mix Takeaway is a small, well-regarded takeaway at 39 Williams Road in Coburg North, tucked into a quiet residential pocket, with a local reputation built on its chicken schnitzel rolls. There is no website and no booking system, just a shopfront, two small footpath tables out front where dogs are welcome, and a steady stream of regulars.

The dog setup

The two outdoor tables on the footpath are the dog-friendly seating, so grab one and settle your dog beside you at heel. This is a coffee-and-lunch stop rather than a lingering meal: order inside, wait on the footpath, and eat with the dog lying close. Bring your own water bowl, and pick your spot with the street in mind, because the tables sit right at the kerb edge on a residential road.

Worth knowing

The kitchen is known for homemade schnitzel rolls, fresh sausage rolls, egg and bacon rolls and burgers, washed down with decent coffee, and the food has drawn people from well beyond the suburb. Hours run weekdays only, 7am to 2:30pm Monday to Friday with the shop closed on weekends, so this is a daytime, midweek call. It suits a dog that will settle calmly on a footpath while you wait on an order.

Getting there and parking

The shop is on Williams Road near Newlands Road in Coburg North. Free street parking is available on Williams Road and the surrounding streets, and the residential setting means the walk from the car is short and quiet.

Pair it with

Edgars Creek Parkland runs nearby along the creek corridor, with shared paths where dogs stay on lead, a 15-metre playground exclusion and creek water off-limits to protect the habitat. For off-lead time, Cash Reserve Dog Off-Leash Area on Livingstone Street is the closest designated spot and Richards Reserve Fenced Dog Park adds a fully fenced option. Binky and Beans covers the slower cafe stop in the same suburb.

More options are on the VIC dog friendly restaurants guide and the Coburg North destination page.

Max: go before the midday shnitty rush, because the queue at the counter is the only waiting room a footpath table dislikes.
