Correction (3 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources between 2 October 2026 and 3 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Two cafes. Both are in Boronia. That is the whole verified list.
The rule on a cafe visit is the venue’s own rule, not ours, and neither cafe states one in the sources we read. So this page sorts what is on the record from what is not. For Forage Food Store, one third-party listing says “Pet Friendly”. For Cafe Brontos, the cafe sells meals for pets, but no source we read says dogs may sit with you.
Treat both as “ring and ask” until the venue says otherwise. Nothing here is a promise that a dog is welcome inside.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Order this | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| A cafe with “Pet Friendly” and “Alfresco Dining” on its AGFG listing | Forage Food Store | Big Meat Breakfast | A$27.99 |
| A cafe that sells meals for pets and lists outdoor dine in | Cafe Brontos | see below | not printed here |
Forage Food Store — 157 Boronia Road, Boronia VIC 3155
Status as listed: The Australian Good Food Guide (AGFG) lists Forage Food Store with “Pet Friendly” and “Alfresco Dining” among its features. AGFG is a third-party listing, and the page we read there is unclaimed by the venue. We found no website of its own for Forage, so there is no venue statement to quote on dogs. Per AGFG, as listed, is as far as this goes.
OpenStreetMap separately tags the cafe with outdoor seating. That supports tables outside. It does not say a dog may sit at them. Hours disagree between listings, so the only safe line is that it opens from early morning.
The prices below are DoorDash delivery prices, and DoorDash says its menu prices are estimates. They will not match the shop’s own prices.
On the menu (copied from doordash.com on 3 October 2026):
- Big Meat Breakfast: A$27.99
- Big Veg Breakfast: A$25.99
- French Toast: A$21.99
- Breakfast Burritos: A$19.50
Inside or outside only: Not stated by the venue. AGFG lists Pet Friendly and Alfresco Dining, so outside is the cautious reading until you have asked.
Cafe Brontos — Unit 1, 140 Boronia Road, Boronia VIC 3155
Status as listed: Cafe Brontos’s own site describes itself with the tags “kids friendly, kids menu, pet menu, outdoor dine in”. Its online ordering page lists “Chicken, rice & Vegetables for pets”. So the cafe sells meals for pets. No source we read says dogs may sit with you, and the site’s “outdoor dine in” does not say who may sit there.
AGFG lists Alfresco Dining and Child Friendly for it. AGFG hours run from 7:00 AM Monday to Friday and from 8:00 AM on Saturday and Sunday, with a 3:00 PM close every day. The ordering page said it would re-open at 8:00 AM when we captured it. We could not read prices for Cafe Brontos, so this page prints none.
Bring: A lead, water and bags, and a question for the counter about where a dog can sit, since the listing covers pet food and not seating.
Quick answers
Can I take a dog inside Forage Food Store?
That is not confirmed. AGFG lists the cafe as “Pet Friendly”, but it is a third-party listing and we found no venue statement. Ask before you go, and assume outside tables only unless told otherwise.
Does Cafe Brontos allow dogs?
It sells meals for pets, as its ordering page shows, but no source we read says dogs may sit with you. The cafe’s own site tags “outdoor dine in”, so ask whether a dog can sit there.
Do these cafes have outdoor tables?
OpenStreetMap tags Forage Food Store with outdoor seating, and AGFG lists Alfresco Dining for both cafes. Cafe Brontos’s own site also says “outdoor dine in”.
Why only two cafes?
Only these two cafes passed our two-source check for this page. Neither has a venue statement on dogs in the sources we read, so the page says what is listed and where it is listed.
How we checked
We checked every place on this page against at least two independent sources between 2 October 2026 and 3 October 2026: OpenStreetMap, the Australian Good Food Guide, a delivery-platform listing, cafe-brontos.nextorder.com and the places’ own websites. Every price is copied exactly as printed on the page linked under Sources, on 3 October 2026. Menus, prices and opening hours change, so check with the venue before you go. The photos are illustrative, from Unsplash: they show the kind of food or place, not the places on this page.
