JOZO

JOZO is a cafe and bar on the corner of Oxford Street and Lang Road in Paddington, set in a former church rectory directly opposite the Paddington Gates of Centennial Park. It's a regular stop for local dog owners before or after a park loop.

Dog setup: dogs are welcome in the outdoor and covered patio seating, which is spacious. Indoor tables are not dog-friendly. Staff generally bring out a water bowl on request; keep dogs leashed and close by, especially on busier weekends.

Known for: the corner position across from Centennial Park, a relaxed daytime cafe that shifts into a bar with Friday night dinner and live jazz. Popular with the local dog-walking crowd.

Getting there: the address is 495 Oxford Street, Paddington. Street parking is available on Lang Road and surrounding streets but gets competitive on weekends when Centennial Park traffic picks up. Oxford Street bus routes stop nearby.

Nearby with the dogs: Centennial Parklands is directly across the road, with large off-leash areas near the Paddington Gates. Paddington Reservoir Gardens, a sunken garden a short walk away, is worth a leashed stroll too.

Weekday mornings are the easiest time to get patio seating and parking. Good for a coffee stop bookending a Centennial Park walk.
