About

A neighbourhood coffee shop that opened in 2012 inside the old Linden Hotel on 7th Street, named after a dog breed and listed among the world's top 100 coffee shops in 2025. Competition-level baristas pour carefully sourced beans, the kitchen serves breakfast all day alongside simple, homely plates, and the cafe is licensed for bubbles and beer. Seating is limited and no bookings are taken, so weekend regulars arrive before 09:30. Dogs are welcome and get a biscuit on the house.

Note from SitnStay: Dogs are welcome inside and out and receive a free biscuit from the team. Third-party guides note leashes are required and mention water bowls and puppuccinos for visiting dogs.
