Dark Horse Wickham is a small, well-liked coffee spot on Greenway St, known for quality coffee and a friendly local crowd. It moved two doors down to a shared space in 2024, so check you have the current address before heading over.

Dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area, kept on a lead. Water bowls are typically out for thirsty pups. Indoors is generally reserved for service dogs only, so plan on the shaded outdoor tables.

outdoor seating here is compact, so keep the lead short and close if it gets busy with the tradie and local crowd.

Good to know. Dark Horse is known for its coffee and a popular breakfast roll, plus casual brunch and sandwiches. It has a loyal community following of locals and tradies.

Getting there. The cafe is on Greenway St, Wickham, an easy walk from Newcastle Interchange. Free street parking is available nearby but can be tight during busy periods.

Nearby with the dogs. The Throsby Creek foreshore and nearby parkland are a short walk away for a stretch before or after coffee.

Best on a weekday morning when the outdoor tables are easier to grab.
