Colour dot coffee

Colour Dot Coffee is a specialty coffee cafe at 140 Glebe Road, Merewether, a busy local favourite that welcomes dogs at its kerbside tables. It trades from the premises previously known as Frothers Espresso, so both names may still appear in listings.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor kerbside and footpath seating; the small indoor area is for people only. Water bowls are commonly put out for passing dogs on the high-traffic Glebe Road frontage, but bring your own to be safe.

Good to know. The house label is the Colour Dot coffee, with a curated menu built around flavour, structure and body. There are well-rated toasties and vegan-friendly options such as miso roasted pumpkin. It runs busy and lively, so it is a stop rather than a long sit.

Getting there. 140 Glebe Road. Street parking is available on Glebe Road and the surrounding streets, though it can fill near the Prince of Wales Hotel.

Nearby with the dogs. Merewether Beach and the ocean baths are a short drive or a decent walk, with the coastal path close by for a longer leg-stretch.

Mid-morning on a weekday is the easiest time at the footpath tables. Good for a strong coffee on a neighbourhood walk.
