Review by Pupsy - Dog friendly cafes in Ashfield
It’s hard to believe there hasn’t always been a cafe in this spot, considering it’s neatly on the edges of Ashfield, Dulwich Hill, Canterbury and Marrickville. It’s the understanding that a quality café should offer more than just good food and coffee coupled with an atmosphere that effortlessly blends into the neighbourhood that set Outfield apart. And that, to borrow from Richie Benaud, is marvellous.
Pupsy is a great resource for dog owners of Sydney. They visited Outfield not long ago and here is what they had to say….
”Kangaroo treats and bacon rashers available for the pups, as well as pup cups (oat milk frothed). Dog parents can enjoy specialty coffee, brunch and choose to sit on the deck or a picnic in the park location…”

Review by Concrete Playground
After spending "many hours kicking the footy or pushing the kids on a swing and wishing we could get a good coffee nearby," Inner West locals Caleb and Belinda Maynard decided to make their hopes a reality. And the 1950s former baby health clinic in the outfield of Ashfield's Yeo Park was the perfect place to do just that.

Time Out visited Outfield in the early days of the cafe… here is what they had to say…
“Sitting pretty on a grassy knoll in Ashfield’s Yeo Park, the former healthcare centre is a mid-century gem – all horizontal rooflines, mission-brown brick walls and porthole windows. Families gather under umbrellas and slatted tables or on provided striped picnic rugs beneath the trees, watching kids having a bat on the astroturf pitch.”
Review by DAILY ADDICT
Parents sit barefoot enjoying a perfectly brewed flat white and an open-top artisan sandwich in the dappled sun, while babies freely explore the grassy hill. The aptly named Outfield is the new Ashfield cafe bringing a sense of homely sophistication from indoors to out, to an inner west park-side (well cricket pitch-side) suburban locale.

Outfield is in a cute ’50s brick building with porthole windows overlooking a rolling park lawn. Its clientele looks as though it’s just strolled in from a stock-image library in the category “local community”.
Loved this review by Broadsheet Sydney….
