Josy Cafe

Josey Café in Grey Lynn is a relaxed, family-run local favourite known for its welcoming, lived-in feel. Filled with lush plants and cosy seating, it has a calm, neighbourhood vibe that makes it easy to settle in. The menu blends Vietnamese flavours with classic café staples, and the coffee is consistently good—making it a go-to for both brunch and a casual catch-up.

It is genuinely dog-friendly, not just dog-tolerant, with many locals bringing their dogs along for a morning brunch. There’s plenty of outdoor sheltered seating, and the relaxed atmosphere makes it easy to visit with your dog. It’s a place where bringing your fur baby along feels natural—even stepping inside to order with them isn’t out of place. The laid-back, community feel extends to four-legged visitors, making it an easy choice for dog owners.
