The Factory Grind

The Factory Grind is a busy, casual neighbourhood cafe near Taylor Square, open daily from early morning. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables, which makes it an easy stop on a Surry Hills walk.

The dog setup. The outdoor seating runs along the footpath, so your dog can settle beside you while you eat. It is a relaxed, dog-friendly spot, though bring your own water bowl to be safe rather than relying on one being out.

Good to know. Reviewers rate the specialty coffee and the Turkish-leaning breakfasts, with shakshuka, gozleme and croissants among the regular orders. The early opening suits a post-walk coffee.

Getting there. It is an easy walk near Taylor Square. Street parking around Surry Hills is limited and metered, especially on weekends, so walking or transit is the simpler choice.

Nearby with the dogs. Harmony Park and Ward Park are both within walking distance for an off-leash run before or after your coffee.
