Correction (5 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 4 October 2026 and 5 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Dog rules belong to each venue, so this page sticks to what the cafes, the Sunbury Square centre and the Australian Good Food Guide (AGFG) actually print. Six places made the list, all in Sunbury: five cafes and one gelato shop. Each has a pet-friendly or dog-friendly line from a named source.
Where a listing says pet friendly and does not say dogs, the entry says so. Where no source says whether dogs can sit inside or only outside, the answer is to ask the venue. Parks and off-lead areas are not covered here.
Every place was matched against two independent sources. Bring a lead and check at the counter before you sit.

The Jolly Miller (Sunbury Square) — Shop 22-24, Sunbury Square Shopping Centre, 2-28 Evans Street, Sunbury VIC 3429
Status: dog-friendly, as listed twice. Its own site lists a ‘Doggy Menu’, and the Sunbury Square centre page describes ’even a dog-friendly offering’. The Doggy Menu is a PDF with no readable text, so we cannot tell you what is on it.
Neither source says whether dogs may come inside or only to outdoor tables. Treat that as unknown and ask. The prices below are the centre’s listed dinner deals, from 4pm: Parma Night on Tuesday, Steak & Ribs on Wednesday, Burger Night on Thursday and Pasta & Risotto on Friday.
On the menu (copied from sunburysquare.com.au/midweek-dinner-specials-at-the-jolly on 5 October 2026):
- Parma Night: $20
- Steak & Ribs: $30
- Burger Night: $20
- Pasta & Risotto: $22
Inside or outside only: Neither the cafe’s site nor the centre page says, so ask before you walk a dog into the shopping centre.
The Spotted Owl — 93 O’Shanassy St, Sunbury VIC 3429
Status: pet friendly, per AGFG. That is a feature-list tag on AGFG, and the cafe’s own site does not use the word. It does say outdoor seating is available, but it does not tie that to pets.
The cafe says breakfast is served all day, and the site names Axil Coffee Roasters as its coffee supplier. Its site lists weekday hours of 7:00 am to 2:30 pm.
On the menu (copied from thespottedowl.com.au on 4 October 2026):
- Pork Benny: $25.00
- Breakfast Plate: $26.00
- Free Range Eggs (V): $15.00
- Breakfast Burger: $17.00
Bring: A lead, and a question for the counter about which tables a dog can use, because the listing only says pet friendly.
Krash & Co — 46 Evans St, Sunbury VIC 3429
Status: pet friendly, per AGFG’s feature list alongside onsite parking. Krash & Co’s own site does not mention pets in the text we read.
AGFG lists weekday hours of 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM, which makes it an early stop. The cafe’s own site talks up a 6:00 AM start too. We could not read a menu, so no prices are given.
Bring: A lead and a call ahead, since the only dog-related source is a single AGFG tag.
The Nourish Eatery — 59 Oshanassy St, Sunbury VIC 3429
Status: pet friendly, per AGFG. The cafe’s own site does not repeat it in the text we read, so treat the tag as the claim.
Its site lists hours every day of the week, and the menu PDF prints the Signature smashed avo at $24.90. AGFG also tags it for vegan options and the site shows a kids menu, which matters if the walk turns into a family outing.
On the menu (copied from thenourisheatery.com.au/Menu-White-A3-Final.pdf on 4 October 2026):
- Signature smashed avo: $24.90
- Eggs benedict: $22.90
- Eggs your way: $13.90
- Chicken parmigiana: $26.90
Inside or outside only: Not stated by either source, so ask which seating a dog is allowed in.
8 Oaks — 7 O’Shanassy St, Sunbury VIC 3429
Status: pet friendly, per its home page, which says ‘Wheelchair, pram and pet friendly’. It does not name dogs, so read it as pets in general and confirm.
The same page describes a balcony and says the cafe overlooks the Village Green. It does not say pets can use the balcony. Its site lists opening seven days, and we found no readable menu prices.
Bring: A lead, plus a question about where pets can sit, because the listing stops at the words pet friendly.
Augustus Gelatery Sunbury — 96A O’Shanassy Street, Sunbury VIC 3429
Status: pets allowed, outside only. The store page answers the pet question with ‘Absolutely! We just ask they stay outside of the shop.’ It also says there is both indoor and outdoor seating.
So the rule is clear here and it is the only venue on this page with a written one. Its site mentions more than 30 gelato flavours at any given time.
Inside or outside only: Outside the shop, per the store page, so someone orders while the dog waits outside.

Is there a Sunbury cafe with a doggy menu?
