How we read reviews →Kooyong's dog-friendly community café with standout katsu sando and the signature espresso spritz.
A warm, sunlit corner café with genuine community soul. a Polaroid wall of dog and cat patrons, outdoor seating on Glenferrie Road, and owners Mem and Michelle who greet regulars by name. Feels like a European village café transplanted to Kooyong.
Fully dedicated dog-friendly setup: Polaroid photo wall of visiting dogs and cats, pup cups, outdoor water bowls, and leash hooks. Side window for quick take-away orders. Owners personally engaged with every customer visit; WiFi available for working guests.
The katsu sando reflects Japanese culinary technique and flavour; otherwise the menu is firmly Melbourne café style with a broad sandwich and toastie range reflecting contemporary Australian tastes.
Excellent value for the Kooyong area. reviewers consistently note reasonable prices for high-quality coffee and freshly prepared food. Well-regarded as affordable for the suburb.
