Platform One Espresso

Platform One Espresso sits on Railway Parade right beside Kogarah Station, a busy little cafe built for commuters and early starters. It opens early on weekdays and has a pet-friendly, footpath-seating setup, which makes it an easy coffee stop on a morning walk.

The dog setup. Seating is mainly street-side on the Railway Parade footpath, with room for a dog to settle beside you. Water bowls are generally available and staff are used to accommodating dogs. Keep your dog on a short leash here, because the footpath gets steady foot traffic from the station.

Good to know. It has a strong local name for coffee, backed by breakfast, brunch and lunch including bacon and egg rolls, acai bowls and vegetarian options. Reviewers consistently praise the quick, friendly service.

Getting there. It could not be closer to Kogarah Station, so the train is the simplest way in. Street parking is on Railway Parade and nearby streets but fills quickly, with free and paid options around.

Nearby with the dogs. Carss Bush Park is a longer walk or short drive south, with waterfront paths and off-leash areas for a proper outing after your coffee.

Given the tight footpath and station crowds, a short lead and an early visit make for the calmest stop.
