Frothers Espresso

Frothers Espresso is a specialty coffee cafe at 140 Glebe Road, Merewether, a friendly neighbourhood spot that welcomes dogs at its street-side tables. Note the premises now trades under the Colour Dot Coffee name, so confirm the current signage before you go.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor, kerbside footpath seating; the indoor area is small and for people only. Water bowls are commonly put out for passing dogs given the busy Glebe Road frontage. Bring your own bowl to be safe.

Good to know. The focus is carefully roasted specialty coffee, with well-rated toasties, pastries and a solid brunch menu. It gets busy through the morning, so mornings before the rush are the easy window.

Getting there. 140 Glebe Road. Free street parking is available on Glebe Road and the surrounding residential 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 decent walk away, and the Bathers Way coastal path is close by for a longer leg-stretch.

Come mid-morning on a weekday for a calmer footpath table. Good for a coffee stop on a neighbourhood loop rather than a long sit-down.
