Correction (10 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 on 9 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Which cafes near Highett let you bring a dog? Only one passed our check. Drip, in Cheltenham, is the single place with a dog-welcome statement we could read at its own site.
Other cafes may welcome dogs too. We could not verify them, so they are not here. A short page beats a padded one.
Drip was matched against OpenStreetMap, its own site and the Australian Good Food Guide.
