Hope Coffee & Sandwiches

The short version. Hope Coffee & Sandwiches is a small corner cafe on Brunker Road in Adamstown, built for good coffee and quick, affordable food. It is a genuine dog-walker's stop, with a park directly across the road.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the streetfront outdoor seating. As a compact cafe there is little to no indoor room, so plan on the footpath tables. Staff are friendly and used to seeing dogs come by on the morning walk.

Good to know. It is known for well-made coffee, iced lattes and specialty milks, plus fresh toasties, sandwiches and baked goods at fair prices. A casual, community-minded spot rather than a sit-down brunch venue.

Getting there. Find it at 1/104 Brunker Road, on the corner of Melville Street. Street parking is usually easy on the neighbouring streets, and the 128 bus runs nearby past Stockland Markettown.

Nearby with the dog. Arthur Park is directly opposite on Brunker Road, ideal for a walk either side of coffee. It is central to the small Adamstown shopping strip for a longer wander.

When to go. It opens early and closes early, roughly breakfast into the early afternoon, so it suits a morning coffee run. Weekday mornings are the quietest for grabbing a footpath table.
