Maison

Maison is a small specialty-coffee cafe at 417-421 Church Street, North Parramatta, best known locally for its matcha. It is dog-friendly with outdoor seating, which makes it an easy coffee stop on a Church Street walk.

The dog setup. There is outdoor seating that suits dogs on-leash, and Google Maps lists the cafe as allowing dogs inside as well. Service gets consistent praise and water bowls are sometimes put out, though it is worth carrying your own. Space is on the cosy side, so a smaller or settled dog fits best.

Good to know. The matcha is the signature, including an iced strawberry matcha, alongside toasties like the truffle mushroom melt and a chicken and avocado toastie. Coffee is on Pablo and Rusty's beans. Hours run early to 4pm on weekdays and to 2pm on weekends.

Getting there. Street parking is available in the surrounding residential streets. It sits on Church Street on local bus routes and is a short walk from the Fennell Street light rail stop.

Nearby with the dogs. Albert Park is close for a short leashed walk, the Parramatta River foreshore tracks are a moderate walk or short drive, and Barton Park in North Parramatta has an off-leash area. Weekend mornings fill quickly, so arrive early for an outdoor table.
