Richmond Reading Room

Richmond Reading Room is a book-themed cafe on Bridge Street in the heart of Richmond, known for matcha, baked treats and a relaxed, welcoming feel. Dogs are welcome outside, making it an easy stop on a walk through the village.

The dog setup. Dogs sit with you in the outdoor footpath or courtyard area on Bridge Street. Keep your dog on a short lead and settled, since seating is close together. Staff are generally pet-friendly, but bring your own water bowl rather than counting on one being offered.

Good to know. Reviewers rate it highly for its second-hand books, comfy chairs, pastries and friendly staff. It opens early, so it suits a coffee stop before or after a walk around Richmond Bridge.

Getting there. Richmond Reading Room is at 28A Bridge Street. There is free street parking along Bridge Street and a public parking area near Richmond Bridge, a short walk away.

Nearby with the dogs. Richmond Bridge and the Coal River riverside paths are a two-minute walk for a stretch before or after your coffee.
