Sly Fox Coffee.

Sly Fox Coffee is a pop-up style coffee shop at the O'Connor shops, on the corner of Macpherson and Mallee Streets. It draws a steady stream of local dog walkers and cyclists, with a relaxed outdoor setup that makes it an easy stop on a walk.

Dog access: Seating is outdoors only, with benches and tables around the pop-up. Dogs are welcome at your feet on lead, keep them close as it sits right on a public footpath next to a busy bike path. Water is often put out for visiting dogs, but bring a bowl if you can.

Known for: Quality coffee, friendly service and a pancake breakfast that keeps locals coming back. It has built a reputation as a community hub, especially for pug owners and cyclists passing through.

Getting there: Shop 2/30 Macpherson St, O'Connor ACT 2602. Parking is available at the O'Connor shops and along Macpherson Street, and the site is easy to reach on foot from nearby walking and bike paths.

Good for a quick lead-side coffee between walks rather than a long sit-down, the outdoor space fills fast on weekend mornings.
