Boston Tea Party is a strong Stratford pick when you want a central café stop with your dog and no fuss. It sits right opposite Shakespeare’s Birthplace on Henley Street, so it is brilliantly placed for visitors doing the classic town-centre wander. Inside, the café is set in a former school hall with original features, and there is also a terrace out back for brighter days. The menu range makes it useful from breakfast through to cake-and-coffee o’clock, which is ideal when plans shift halfway through the day. Dogs are very welcome here too, so it is an easy option for visitors who want brunch, a decent coffee and a break without splitting the pack.
