Jackson Dodds Café in Preston is a relaxed, family-friendly brunch spot, popular with local mother’s groups thanks to its convenient location across from the Maternal Health Centre. The menu has something for everyone, from simple sandwiches, burgers, and hotcakes to breakfast favourites like Mamma’s go-to scrambled eggs with whipped fetta, fried shallots, and pesto. There’s also a kid-friendly menu and colourful house-made macaroons for little ones. With indoor and outdoor seating, plenty of highchairs, and a ceiling full of whimsical details to entertain the kids, it’s perfect for families, though Mamma recommends booking ahead during busy periods. Outside, the tables are ideal for sunny days, and Little Miss 8 loved exploring the vibrant graffiti wall.
