Dog-Friendly: Alfresco - Social Roasting Company, Flemington

Have been here many a-times for brunch, but it was the first time we've brought Angus. They have about 4 tables on the wide sidewalk, and there was ample space. Some places have tables crammed on the narrow sidewalk, and it can be really quite cumbersome to have dogs around, but this was fine - Angus seemed comfy, and wasn't being pesky to others!

They usually have the most amazing sweet muffins ever, but we were certainly after something way more substantial:


It wasn't an easy choice, as they have an awesome massive brekkie/lunch menu:


What I love about this place, apart from the great food, is their social conscience - in addition to aiming to provide work to the long-term unemployed, they also try to reduce their carbon footprint by delivering their roasted beans (coffee bean roaster seen below!) by bicycle.


Awesome food, good coffee, and wonderful conscience - what is there not to love? Plus, your furry friend is welcomed too!
