August Coffee

August Coffee is a bright, modern all-day brunch spot in North Strathfield's Bakehouse Quarter, and the outdoor seating is genuinely welcoming to dogs. Expect Vietnamese-inspired brunch dishes, standout matcha and coffee, and a spacious alfresco area with room for a lead beside the table.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor, alfresco seating, which is spacious enough to keep a dog settled beside your table without crowding the walkway. Staff regularly put out water for dogs, and puppuccinos turn up on the menu for well-behaved visitors. Keep dogs leashed and calm as you would at any suburban cafe.

Good to know. The menu leans into Vietnamese fusion brunch, with sizzle breakfast plates, prawn and salmon caviar linguine, and a run of matcha drinks (cherry matcha, black sesame) that has built a following locally.

Getting there. August Coffee sits in the Bakehouse Quarter on George Street, the old Arnotts Biscuit factory site, with ample on-site parking and easy access off George Street. North Strathfield station is a short walk away.

When to go. The Bakehouse Quarter is pedestrian-friendly, so a lap of the precinct before or after coffee makes an easy add-on with the dog. Weekday mornings are calmer than weekend brunch rushes if your dog prefers a quieter footpath.
