Kafenio

Kafenio is a small, well-loved coffee spot at 9/1-7 Cronulla Street, in the central pedestrian mall. The alfresco tables spill onto the walkway, which gives a dog plenty of room to settle beside you while you sort out a coffee.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor seating in the pedestrian walkway. Indoors is off-limits as a food premises. The mall area can be sunny and exposed, so bring your own bowl and water to keep the dog comfortable.

Good to know. Locals rate the coffee highly, often calling it among the best in Cronulla, and the kitchen does well-regarded toasties, breakfasts and cakes. Service is friendly and personal, the kind of place that remembers a regular order.

Getting there. It is a very short walk from Cronulla Station. Free street parking is limited on nearby streets like Kingsway and Elouera Road, with paid parking in the Cronulla Plaza area.

Nearby with the dogs. Cronulla beach and the esplanade are a short walk for an on-leash stroll, and the parklands near Shelly Beach are not far.

Weekday afternoons are quietest; Saturday and Sunday mornings get busy. Good for a relaxed coffee in the heart of town between walks.
