The Brew Joint

The Brew Joint at 166A Argyle Street is a friendly, early-opening cafe (from 5am) that's a regular stop for locals walking their dogs. Dogs are welcome in the front footpath area, which makes it an easy coffee stop on a morning loop through town.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the front tables on the footpath. The venue has posted that, under food-handling rules, dogs cannot go onto the back deck, so keep to the front area. Indoors is service dogs only. Staff are warm and water bowls turn up, but bring your own to be safe.

Good to know. It's built on locally-roasted coffee, bacon and egg rolls, the "Bird Dog" (cheese, bacon, egg) and wraps, plus catering platters. The early start suits an after-walk breakfast.

Getting there. It's right on Argyle Street with street parking out front and on the side streets, very walkable.

Nearby with the dogs. Victory Park is a short walk for open space, and the rail trail nearby gives you a longer, safe on-lead route.

When to go. Early mornings suit dog owners best, before the tradie rush builds. Grab the front footpath tables.
