Tallowood Espresso

Tallowood Espresso is a specialty coffee shop in the Steel River industrial estate in Mayfield West, better known among locals for its gourmet toasties and its own line of hand-poured soy candles than for a leafy setting. It is a genuine coffee stop rather than a destination, but dogs are welcome outside.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating on the paved courtyard area in front of the unit. Keep dogs leashed and settled, since the seating sits close to the walkway used by other patrons in the complex.

Good to know. The menu runs to gourmet toasted sandwiches, healthy breakfast and lunch options, and gluten-free treats, alongside the specialty coffee. Open weekdays only, roughly 6am to 1.30pm, and closed on weekends, so this is a weekday work-break stop rather than a weekend outing.

Getting there and parking. It's in the Steel River Industrial Estate off Industrial Drive near the Pacific Highway. On-site parking is plentiful and right in front of the unit, which makes a quick coffee stop with a dog easy.

Nearby with the dogs. The industrial estate itself isn't a walking destination, so treat this as a stop-off. Mayfield Park is a short drive away if you want to let your dog stretch its legs before or after coffee.

When to go. Weekday mornings before 1.30pm, when the kitchen is running and the courtyard tables are free. Good for a quick leashed coffee stop on the way through rather than a lingering visit.
