Chino & Co

Can the dog come? Yes, and this one is warmer about it than most. Chino & Co is a busy local cafe at 457 Balcombe Road, Beaumaris, that welcomes dogs rather than just tolerating them.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables, and reviewers note well-behaved dogs are generally allowed in the main indoor area too, though not the front glass conservatory. Staff are known to bring out water bowls and the odd treat, and to recognise their regular canine visitors. If in doubt, take an outdoor table and ask.

Good to know. It is known for consistent coffee, a varied brunch menu, generous portions and good value, with a friendly community feel.

Getting there. It is on Balcombe Road, the main Beaumaris shopping strip. There is free parking behind the shops via the side streets, plus spots out front on Balcombe Road.

Nearby with the dogs. The Beaumaris foreshore is a walk or short drive away for a beach stroll; check council signage for off-leash times. Local reserves nearby give you plenty of walking options.
