Chapels on Whatley

Chapels on Whatley is a quirky European-style cafe and high-tea spot at 196 Whatley Crescent, and for dog owners the key is the rear courtyard, where there is real room to settle a dog.

The dog setup. Dogs are generally welcome in the sheltered rear alley courtyard, which has more space than most footpath setups, with limited front footpath tables as a backup. Indoors is reserved for human diners. Staff are usually accommodating, but bring your own water bowl during busy periods.

Good to know. It is best known for an extensive specialty tea menu and high tea, with a broad brunch list that includes gluten-free and vegan choices. The decor leans retro and eclectic, which is part of the appeal.

Getting there and parking. It sits on Whatley Crescent right near Maylands Train Station, so the train is an easy option. Street parking runs along Whatley Crescent and side streets but gets busy on weekends, the Maylands library area is worth checking too.

Nearby with the dogs. The Whatley Crescent strip is a pleasant walk, and Bardon Park along the Swan River is close for a proper run, keep dogs leashed in the signed on-leash zones.

Book ahead for high tea and aim the courtyard for a calmer table. Good for dogs who settle while you linger over a long pot of tea.
