With its playful moniker and stellar reputation, Two Boys One Beagle and a Coffee Shop has nailed the formula for the perfect neighbourhood café: top-notch coffee, moreish eats, and feel-good community vibes.

Located in the charming Kareela Rd strip shops, the café is a sensory treat.  Musk pink walls are adorned with original artwork and lush greenery, and inviting aromas drift from the bustling kitchen. An espresso machine hums away, transforming Commonfolk Coffee beans into cups of liquid gold that keep locals coming back for more.

But it's not just about the caffeine hit. The all-day menu is a crowd-pleaser, dishing up classics with a twist. Staple dishes with popular ingredients – such as an avocado crush or homemade waffles – are always available in one form or another, while the croquettes have cult status among loyal patrons. The seasonal selection of chef-prepared lunch specials keeps things fresh and exciting.

For those looking to pair their meal with something a bit stronger, there’s an enticing selection of beers, wines and cocktails. Add to this the range of cold-pressed juices, smoothies, freshly baked pastries and takeaway items, and there's something to cater to all cravings.

The outdoor area is a sun-soaked spot where humans and their four-legged friends are welcome. It's the kind of place where you can linger over a long lunch, smash out some work with a flat white in hand, or treat the kids – fur babies included – to something special from their dedicated menus.              

Owners Mikaela Keysers and Jamie Bowman and their staff know the order of their regulars before they’ve even walked through the door. It’s a slice of Melbourne's famed coffee scene with a friendly suburban edge, where that laid-back Aussie cafe culture leaves you wondering how soon you can come back for more.
