Piccolo One

Piccolo One is a hole-in-the-wall espresso bar tucked down a laneway off Douglas Parade, and it is a popular spot for Williamstown locals walking their dogs. The setting is a covered laneway lined with wall art, which gives dogs a shaded, sheltered place to settle while you get a coffee.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the covered outdoor laneway seating. It is a cosy space, so it suits dogs that are comfortable close to other people and pets. The cafe is accommodating and has offered puppuccinos in the past, though bring your own water bowl to be sure.

Good to know. Reviewers rate the coffee highly and the kitchen is known for freshly made local sourdough, including bagels. Hours run roughly 7am to early afternoon daily.

Getting there. Look for the laneway at around 2/12 Douglas Parade, near the Ferguson Street corner. Free street parking is available on Douglas Parade and side streets, busiest on weekends, and it is a short walk from the waterfront.

Nearby with the dogs. The Williamstown waterfront and Breakwater Pier paths are a short stroll away, and the Ferguson Street strip leads on to the foreshore parks.
