Relish Coffeehouse

Relish Coffeehouse is a locally owned espresso and brunch spot on Freemans Drive in the heart of Cooranbong, an easy stop if you are passing through with the dog in tow.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables. Staff are friendly toward canine visitors and will often bring out water, with some regulars reporting the odd sausage treat for well-behaved dogs. Keep dogs leashed and settled at your table, as usual for outdoor cafe seating.

Good to know. The kitchen is known for smooth, consistent espresso, banana bread and a good sausage roll, plus cooked breakfast and lunch options. It has a small garden area that adds to the relaxed, family-friendly feel. Open weekday mornings only, closed weekends, so check hours before you plan a visit.

Getting there. Free street parking is available on Freemans Drive, with a free parking lot nearby as well.

Nearby. Freemans Drive itself is walkable for a stretch before or after coffee, and the Avondale Dairy Walk is a short drive away if you want a proper walk with the dog afterwards.

Best for a weekday morning coffee run rather than a weekend outing, since it is closed Saturday and Sunday.
