Grit & Grind

The short version. Grit & Grind is a busy local cafe on Murray Rose Ave, popular with the Olympic Park office crowd on weekdays. Reviewers call it out as dog-friendly, and it works well as a quick coffee or a post-walk bite.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor and footpath seating, with a courtyard area too. Inside is service dogs only. Bring your own water bowl, as pet amenities are not always set out.

Known for. Solid espresso and quick food, wraps, sandwiches, salads and poke bowls. It gets bustling mid-week given the surrounding office towers, so mornings can be brisk.

Getting there. 5 Murray Rose Ave. The P5 car park on Hill Road is within walking distance, plus street parking on Murray Rose Ave, and it is a very short walk from Olympic Park Station.

Nearby with the dogs. The main off-leash field is a short walk away behind the P5 car park on Hill Road. Around the town centre keep dogs leashed, and note the wetlands, Brickpit Ring Walk and Newington Armory are off-limits to dogs.
