Cafe Stepping Stone Dickson

Cafe Stepping Stone sits on Hawdon Place at Dickson, a popular dining hub in Canberra's inner north. A much-loved cafe — known for its social-enterprise ethos as well as its food — it's earned an outstanding reputation, combining quality food and genuinely good coffee with a welcoming, characterful setting and a genuine community spirit.

The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, excellent coffee and a warm, community-minded atmosphere in a convenient Dickson location, ideal for a leisurely brunch, a morning coffee or a casual catch-up, with the good feeling of supporting a social enterprise. A cafe that's nailed both its food and its coffee while doing genuine good really stands out, and the outstanding feedback speaks to a spot that's delighting its customers.

With a 4.8 rating from more than 200 reviews, it's clearly a real favourite. Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular cafe gets busy on weekend mornings, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a great brunch and an excellent coffee, it's often just a matter of dropping in at Cafe Stepping Stone at Dickson.
