The doggie menu at Naked Brew offers doggie doughnuts for pooches in need of a treat, alongside doggie chinos served with frothy goat's milk, liver sprinkles and carob dusting.

A doggie smoothie is perfect for the health-conscious pups out there, which is goat's milk blended with blueberries, unsalted and unsugared peanut butter, liver sprinkles and carob dusting. What more could a true pooch of the inner-west ask for?! 

And for everyone else, Naked Brew offers an all-day menu of dreams serving hamburgers, sandwiches, breakfast, and brunch. Tuck in peeps!

3. Cafe Bones

Did you know that Sydney is home to the world's first dog cafe? Well, that's what the team at Cafe Bones are claiming and hey, who are we to argue!

The coffee at Cafe Bones is organic and fair-trade, the menu is stocked with sandwiches, heaps of sweet treats, and even a dog menu to indulge your four-legged pal with a bone-shaped cookie or Pupaccino™.

Cafe Bones is the number one meeting spot for locals who don't want to leave their pooches at home - even Dog Whisperer Cesar Milan stopped by during a trip to Oz!

Location: Hawthorne Canal Reserve, Leichhardt

4. La Bottega

Also in Leichhardt, La Bottega is a sun-drenched gem that brings a taste of the Italian coastline to Sydney.

This dog-friendly cafe impresses with an extensive menu for breakfast, brunch, or lunch, offering kid-friendly options and even special dishes for dogs, such as pup cakes and the classic chicken and rice - adorable!

Location: Shop 9/39 Norton St, Leichhardt

Next Door Cronulla sets a new benchmark for dog cafes in Sydney, functioning as a superb all-day destination.

Location: 4/6 Kingsway, Cronulla

6. Dachshund Coffee

If the name doesn't convince you that this gem loves dogs, then maybe Dachshund Coffee's ethos will!

Dachshund Coffee is a haven for ethical eaters, serving up a menu that's as local and sustainable as it gets. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or occasionally indulge in an egg, this spot has you covered. Their dog-friendly vibe is just the cherry on top. The standout here? The smashed avocado stack—it's legendary. But if you swing by at lunch, make sure to dive into the OG chicken katsu. It's a must-try!

Location: Shop 4/66 Gladesville Rd, Hunters Hill

7. Queen's Park Kitchen

Sydney's biggest backyard is home to one of the best dog cafes in Sydney.

Queens Park Kitchen overlooks the picturesque Queens Park in Randwick, and the team love nothing more than when their favourite customers pop in with their four-legged friends in tow. 

While the Queens Park Kitchen menu doesn't specifically cater to your doggies, the whole family is welcome to enjoy their all-day offerings from their comfortable outdoor deck. Their all-day menu boasts yummy hot and cold meals, plus snacks, drinks, and kids' meals. 

Location: Darley Rd, Queens Park

8. Puppy Tail Cafe

Another dog cafe in Sydney welcoming furry friends in all shapes and sizes, Puppy Tail Cafe is located right next to the off-leash dog area in Blackman Park - you can't get more dog-friendly than this!

Puppy Tail Cafe is quite small, so it's geared more towards takeaway than dining, but it's the perfect spot to grab a coffee and a treat while your dogs enjoy the fresh air of the park.

Location: Lloyd Rees Dr, Lane Cove West

9. Lil Miss Collins

In Parramatta, Lil Miss Collins is a delightful choice for a coffee date with your favourite pooch.
