Sherwood Coffee - Parry Street

Sherwood Coffee on Parry Street is a sunny, industrial-style cafe near Marketown Shopping Centre, known locally for strong coffee and a relaxed footpath vibe that suits a dog on the way through Newcastle West.

Dog setup. Dogs settle on the footpath and outdoor seating right out front on Parry Street. Like most NSW cafes, indoor seating is off limits for pets under food safety rules, so the footpath tables are the reliable option. Staff are used to dogs and will often bring out a water bowl, sometimes a treat, so bring a lead you're happy to loop around a chair leg.

Known for. Reuben sandwiches, toasties, berry danishes and cold drip that regulars rate among the best in Newcastle.

Getting there. Street parking on Parry Street and nearby Coleman Street is metered and can be tight, but Marketown Shopping Centre car park is directly across the road. It's also a short walk from Newcastle Interchange.

Nearby with the dogs. Union Street Reserve is a two-minute walk for a leg stretch, and the Newcastle Foreshore path is close enough for a coffee-then-walk combo.
