Ristretto & Co

Ristretto & Co is a relaxed Campos coffee cafe on Northumberland Street in central Liverpool, with a covered courtyard that makes it one of the more comfortable dog-friendly stops in the CBD. The venue publicly confirms it welcomes dogs, so there is no guesswork at the door.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor and courtyard area beside you. Staff are known to put out water bowls and have offered treats to canine guests, so you can arrive without your own kit, though a travel bowl never hurts. The covered courtyard means a bit of shelter if the weather turns.

Good to know. The reputation rests on Campos blends and specialty brews (batch and cold brew) alongside an all-day breakfast and lunch menu, with review regulars pointing to eggs benedict, corn fritters and the acai bowl.

Getting there. It is on Northumberland Street in the heart of Liverpool, with street parking on Northumberland and nearby residential streets, plus several public parking stations within a short walk.

Nearby with the dogs. Bigge Park is a short walk for a stretch before or after coffee, and the Georges River walking paths are close by for a longer on-leash stroll.

Best mid-morning on a weekday when the courtyard is calm. A solid, genuinely dog-welcoming choice for a longer sit than a quick footpath stop.
