What visitors mention
Pet policy
Dogs are welcome at the covered pavement seating out front, and the venue goes a step further than most: there is a dedicated puppy hydration station, a water point built for dogs, and staff will often bring a treat to the table. The kitchen runs from 7am (8am weekends) until early afternoon, turning out eggs benedict, brisket bruschetta, fried chicken with waffles and Nutella French toast, alongside specialty coffee and vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.
The Sparrow's Nest is a rustic-chic all-day brunch cafe at 1/912 Albany Highway in East Victoria Park, and one of the more deliberately dog-friendly venues on this stretch of the strip. The kitchen runs from 7am (8am weekends) until early afternoon, turning out eggs benedict, brisket bruschetta, fried chicken with waffles and Nutella French toast, alongside specialty coffee and vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.
The dog setup
Dogs are welcome at the covered pavement seating out front, and the venue goes a step further than most: there is a dedicated puppy hydration station, a water point built for dogs, and staff will often bring a treat to the table. Because the tables sit right on the Albany Highway footpath, keep your dog leashed and close to your chair.
Worth knowing
This is a breakfast and lunch spot rather than an all-day one, with last service around 2pm, so plan the visit for the morning. Weekend brunch draws a crowd; a weekday arrival is easier if you need room for a dog to settle. Traffic runs close and steady past the pavement tables, so a calm dog with solid street manners does best here.
Max: Keep a firm hold on the lead at the pavement tables, Albany Highway traffic runs close and steady.
Getting there and parking
The cafe fronts Albany Highway, Perth's longest continuous strip of eateries. Street parking on the highway itself can be tight, so try the side streets behind the shops, and note the venue sits on a major bus route if you would rather leave the car at home.
Close by with the dogs
After brunch, the Town of Victoria Park keeps several off-leash exercise areas nearby, including Kate Street Reserve a few blocks east, and the riverside lawns along the South Perth foreshore are a short drive over the bridge. Cafe Eighty2 and Little Venn are other dog-friendly cafes on the same strip, and Social Manna further south is famous for its dog-a-chinos.
More venues around the suburb are on the East Victoria Park destination page, and the state list is in the WA restaurants index.
