GroundPlan Coffee

A Greek-inspired coffee stop that welcomes dogs, treats and puppuccinos included. GroundPlan Coffee is a small, casual cafe at 442 Beaufort Street, Highgate, geared to quick, high-quality coffee. It is one of the more genuinely dog-welcoming spots on the strip, offering dog treats and puppuccinos.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome inside and out here, with a small outdoor area on the sidewalk where they can join you. Treats and puppuccinos are part of the draw, though a puppuccino is a small dairy hit, so skip it for dogs with sensitive stomachs and bring your own water on warm days.

Good to know. The name to know is the Freddo cappuccino and the frappe, in the Greek coffee tradition, plus a popular strawberry coconut matcha and casual bites like focaccia. It leans quick-stop rather than long sit-down brunch.

Getting there. Find it at 442 Beaufort Street. Street parking is on Beaufort and side streets such as Harold Street or Mary Street, so check the signage for time limits. Multiple bus routes run along Beaufort Street.

Nearby with the dogs. Hyde Park is a short walk away for open space and shaded paths. The Beaufort Street strip is easy for a wander to nearby shops with the dog after coffee.

When to go. It opens early, roughly 6:30am on weekdays and closes early afternoon, so it suits a morning walk-and-coffee. Weekday mornings are the calmest window.
