Best Café in Preston… or so people keep telling us.
We’re a pretty awesome, slightly bad-ass bunch of hospitality-loving humans — known for our laid-back vibe, great energy, and an even better playlist. Jackson Dodds is where good food, great coffee and amazing people all collide (in the best way possible).
We specialise in creating a unique menu of house favourites, blending classic breakfast staples with fresh twists, bold flavours and the kind of dishes you start craving again on the drive home.
And while we proudly call Preston home, we’re lucky enough to welcome guests from Reservoir, Coburg, Northcote, Thornbury and Fairfield — a little community of brunch-seekers who’ve made us part of their weekly ritual.
If you haven’t visited yet, come try us out.
