Cafe Nookie

Cafe Nookie is a small, well-regarded coffee spot on the Surry Hills and Redfern border, the kind of place locals fold into a dog walk. The staff describe themselves as dog friendly, and the front footpath seating makes it easy to stop with a dog in tow.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor seating directly in front of the cafe. Water bowls are often out for passing dogs, but it is worth bringing your own bowl in case. Seating for dog owners is focused on the front-of-cafe area rather than inside.

Good to know. Known for high-quality specialty coffee, including local roaster collaborations, and fresh pastries. It is a compact, community-minded neighbourhood spot, so do not expect a lot of room.

Getting there. A short walk from Central or Redfern Station. Street parking nearby is limited and busy, with some one-hour spots around.

Nearby with the dogs. Prince Alfred Park is a few minutes away for an on-leash walk in open space, and the surrounding streets are dotted with small pocket parks for a quick stop.
