Gourmandise & Co

The lead. Gourmandise & Co is a French-style bakery and patisserie on historic Stirling Terrace, with dog-friendly footpath seating. It is a good croissant-and-coffee stop mid-walk through the town centre.

The dog setup. Dogs stay in the outdoor seating, which covers the footpath tables and courtyard. Pets are not taken inside, so one person orders while the other waits with the dog. The outdoor bench seating has hooks for clipping a lead securely, and water bowls are usually on hand.

Good to know. The draw is the baking, croissants, pain au chocolat, tarts and quiche, alongside French-leaning savoury options. There is no dog menu, so this one is for the humans.

Getting there and parking. It is at 56 Stirling Terrace in central Albany. On-street parking sits right out front but fills quickly, with several public car parks a short walk away. The walk in from the waterfront is flat and easy.

Nearby with the dogs. Stirling Terrace itself is a pleasant historic strip to walk, and it is a short downhill stroll to the Albany waterfront.
