Opus Coffee Brewers

Opus Coffee Brewers is a specialty coffee spot on Keira Street, a short walk from the Crown Street Mall in the Wollongong CBD. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables, which makes it a reliable coffee stop on a CBD walk with the dog.

The dog setup. Dogs settle with you at the outdoor seating out front, which has a covered patio, rather than inside. Water bowls are usually available and there are often treats at the counter. Seating is limited and the spot gets busy, so it suits a calm dog that is happy to tuck under the table.

Good to know. The draw is the coffee, with batch brew and espresso both well regarded, plus house-baked bagels, muffins and cookies. It is a small, popular cafe, busiest on weekend mornings.

Getting there. Opus is at 118-120 Keira Street. Metered street parking runs along Keira and the side streets, and the Wollongong Central car parks are nearby if you do not mind a short walk in with the dog.

Nearby with the dogs. MacCabe Park is a short walk away for a stretch on the grass, and the foreshore and coastal paths are a quick walk or drive towards the water. Coniston Dog Beach, the nearest off-leash sand, is a short drive south.
