The Coffee Thief

The Coffee Thief is a small, cosy neighbourhood cafe on McCourt Street in West Leederville, and the leafy outdoor courtyard is where dogs are welcome. It has built a reputation as an easygoing, pet-friendly stop for a quick coffee or a longer sit with bean bags and a fire pit in winter.

Dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor courtyard area, which has casual seating including bean bags. Keep dogs on a lead in this area to keep things relaxed for other visitors. Staff are used to dogs being around and it's a genuinely welcoming spot for pets.

Good to know. The cafe is known for its specialty coffee, banana bread, and daily specials such as a rhubarb and apple crumble porridge. You can SMS your order ahead if you're after a fast turnaround, and the fire pit makes it a solid winter stop.

Getting there. The cafe is at 67 McCourt Street, open daily from 7am to noon (check socials for updates). Street parking is limited along McCourt Street and nearby residential streets, so allow a short walk if it's busy.

Nearby with the dogs. Lake Monger Reserve is a short drive away for a longer walk, while Cowden Park is closer for a quick run before or after coffee.

Weekday mornings are the easiest time to get a courtyard spot, weekends fill quickly once the fire pit is going.
