Bean & Barrel Cafe

A small, quieter cafe on Marion Street with dogs welcome at the outdoor tables. Bean & Barrel sits at 128 Marion St in Leichhardt, set a little back from the busiest shops. It is a relaxed spot for coffee if you want something calmer than the Norton Street strip after a canal walk.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor footpath seating. The cafe is small inside, so the outdoor tables are the spot for a dog. There is a ramp at the entrance, which makes footpath access easy. Staff are dog-friendly, though bring your own water bowl to be sure.

Good to know. It pours North of Rome coffee and reviewers rate the friendly hosts and the calmer atmosphere. Being newer and smaller, it is a good pick when the bigger cafes are packed.

Getting there and parking. There is often street parking right out front, near the Hawthorne Parade corner. The Marion light rail stop is nearby.

Nearby with the dogs. Hawthorne Canal Reserve, with its all-hours off-leash area, is a short walk away, and the Iron Cove Bay Run is close by for a longer scenic loop.
