The filosofy project

The filosofy project is a small specialty coffee spot on Knox Street in Double Bay, known for loose-leaf chai and a healthy, house-baked menu. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables, making it an easy stop on a village walk.

The dog setup. Seating for dogs is on the outdoor footpath tables rather than inside, since the indoor space is small. Staff are generally accommodating and will often bring a water bowl, but it is worth carrying your own for busy periods. Keep dogs leashed and settled at the table, as the footpath seating is close to passing foot traffic.

Known for. Regulars come back for the specialty coffee, authentic chai and a wellness-leaning menu of smoothies, cold-pressed juices and house-baked treats.

Getting there. The cafe is at 2/17-19 Knox St. Street parking on Knox St and nearby streets is metered and limited, and the Cross Street car park is a short walk away. It is also an easy stroll from Double Bay Ferry Wharf and the New South Head Road bus stops.

Nearby with the dogs. Steyne Park is a five-minute walk down Cross St, with on-leash access across the playing fields and an off-leash stretch near the ferry wharf and seawall, good for a post-coffee stretch of the legs.

Go on a weekday morning if you want a quiet table. Weekends get busy with the village coffee crowd, so expect to wait for outdoor seating.
