CROSTA Espresso & Panini Bar

CROSTA is an Italian-style espresso and panini bar on High Street in Fremantle's West End, doing fresh focaccia, panini and proper coffee. It is openly dog-friendly, with footpath tables that make a good pause on a wander through the historic quarter.

The dog setup. The dog spot is the small outdoor seating on the High Street footpath, where you get the busy Freo street outlook. The venue is compact, so the footpath is the area to aim for with a dog. Staff are good with pets; bring your own bowl, as water is on request rather than standard.

Good to know. It is known for Italian-style panini and focaccia, fresh pastries and cannoli, and well-made espresso, with friendly, energetic service. Hours are typically early morning to early afternoon daily.

Getting there. Find it at 33 High Street, in the West End. Street parking on High Street is mostly paid City of Fremantle parking; the Henderson Street car park is about a five-minute walk. The station and Esplanade Reserve are both close.

Nearby with the dogs. The Esplanade Reserve is a short walk for an on-lead run, the West End's quiet historic streets are pleasant for a wander, and the Fremantle Markets are close (dogs to the outer sections).

When to go. A weekday mid-morning is the calmest for a footpath table. Weekends are busy in the West End, so arrive early to land a spot with room for the lead.
