Pedlar Project

A social-enterprise cafe on Flinders Street with a dog-friendly courtyard. Pedlar Project at 233 Flinders Street is a central, community-minded cafe that runs as a social project, with a beautiful setting and a strong brunch following. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor and courtyard seating.

The dog setup. The undercover outdoor area and footpath tables suit well-behaved dogs, and staff have a name for being welcoming, often with water bowls about. The courtyard can fill at peak brunch, so off-peak gives your dog more room. Bring a bowl as backup.

Good to know. Strong coffee and a popular breakfast and lunch menu - the smashed avocado with poached egg, corn fritters, French toast and eggs benedict get the nod. A free community bookcase and the social-enterprise angle add to the easy, friendly feel.

Getting there and parking. On Flinders Street in the heart of the CBD. Street parking on Flinders Street and surrounding blocks, with public lots within walking distance.

Nearby with the dog. A short walk to the Ross Creek paths, and easy to fold into a wider on-lead wander around the city centre.

When to go. Earlier on weekday mornings is calmest; weekend brunch is busiest and tightest for the courtyard tables.
