The Coffee House by Cashew's Artisans

The Coffee House by Cashew's Artisans is a small artisan bakery and coffee shop at 283 Mona Vale Road, Terrey Hills, with a loyal local following for fresh bread, careful espresso and friendly counter chat. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables, and given the morning dog-walking crowd that passes through, a dog at the table is a completely normal sight here.

The dog setup

Dogs sit with you outside; the interior is people only. Water for dogs is not guaranteed, so pack your own bowl on warm days. The outdoor tables sit close to the shopfront, so keep your dog settled while the bread queue moves through.

The vibe

The baking is the point: fresh loaves, pastries and a changing bench of baked goods, with brisket among the savoury favourites. The baristas take the espresso seriously, and part of the draw is the conversation that comes with it. This is a bakery-cafe hybrid, so grab a loaf on the way out.

Getting there and parking

You will find it on the main Terrey Hills strip along Mona Vale Road, with off-street parking directly out the front, which makes arrivals with a dog straightforward compared with kerbside-only strips.

Close by with the dogs

Tastebuds at the Hills is a short walk along the same road if you want a bigger patio, and The Tasting Deck at Forestway Fresh runs a sun-drenched deck that takes dogs too. The Terrey Hills destination page rounds up the suburb.

Max: the fresh bread sells through early. Give the humans a deadline and hold them to it.

Mid-morning on a weekday is the calm version; weekends draw the browsing crowd. If a loaf is the mission, come early. More Sydney options sit under the NSW cafes listing.
