cowderoys dairy, st kilda
A cool cafe with an old milk bar vibe nestled in amongst the trees in the quiet part of St Kilda and plonked right next to a park and playground.
Cowderoy's Dairy has been many a mums and bubs favourite for many years, and regularly visited by Mamma before she was a mamma! A cool cafe with an old milk bar vibe nestled in amongst the trees in the quiet part of St Kilda and plonked right next to a park and playground. Great food and coffee, a cute outdoor area where you can still be near the kids if they're off at the park or take your goodies to go and sit on one of the park benches.
Mamma's special mention: If you want even more adventure play head to nearby Plum Garland Playground for some beachside action.

Such a variety of flavours to choose from!
There's decadent choc-hazelnut expresso cakes topped with honeycomb - and traditional favourites like carrot cake and brownies.
Not to mention the delicious savoury items like their speciality burgers. The little ones have their own 'Little Fox' menu items to choose from. As well as miniature cupcakes and sweet items.
To keep little hands busy, they supply pencils (adorably kept in little teapots) and colouring pictures.
With plenty of space, both indoors and outside, it is easy to see how this is a local (and not-so-local) favourite!
