Sisterhood

Sisterhood is a bright, all-day cafe on King Street in Sandy Bay, and it is one of Hobart's clearest cases of a venue built for dogs rather than merely tolerating them. The venue's own site describes a sunny courtyard for dog friendly and kid friendly catch ups, and the regional coverage goes further: a doggy menu with dog biscuits and pup cups, and a separate entrance to the back courtyard so four-legged guests can arrive without crossing the cafe.

Dogs at the cafe

The venue's own site confirms the sunny courtyard for dog friendly and kid friendly catch ups, which puts this in the authoritative-policy category rather than reported practice. Reviews and regional tourism coverage add the detail that matters: a doggy menu with biscuits and pup cups, and a separate dog entrance to the back courtyard. Practically, ask for a courtyard table and the dog has a menu of its own, which is about as far from a grudging water bowl as a cafe gets.

The vibe

The menu runs from eggs benedict to a chicken katsu waffle, on sourdough with a kimchi edge here and there, and the friendly staff reputation holds across reviews. Hours are 7:30am to 3pm on weekdays and from 8am on weekends. It is a social, chatty room, and the dog-friendly tag is right there in the venue's own descriptions, so there is no guesswork about where a dog is welcome.

Getting there and parking

The cafe is at Shop 4, 48 King Street, with street parking through the Sandy Bay blocks. It chains well with a walk: In Good Company and Brew are other dog-friendly Sandy Bay options, and CC and co cafe extends the circuit into Battery Point. The full suburb list is on the Sandy Bay page.
