That’s our way of flagging the places that go further — beyond “dogs allowed”, with a genuinely warm welcome for dogs inside.

Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

8 Aug 2026

Delfino Lounge is a laid-back two-floor café and bar in the Dolphin Centre, right by Falkland Square in central Poole. Dogs are welcome inside, so your whole group can settle in at a table for brunch, lunch or an all-day menu that runs from mid-morning through to evening.

Open seven days, with a Monday-to-Friday lunch deal between midday and 5 p.m., it's a handy town-centre stop when shopping trips and sniff breaks need to overlap. The café-bar atmosphere works well for humans nursing coffee and dogs supervising plates from under the table.

You'll find familiar Lounge-style menus and a relaxed vibe across both floors, though the usual shopping-centre caveats may apply depending on the day. Whether you're refuelling between errands or just need somewhere warm and dog-friendly to wait out the rain, Delfino gives you a proper sit-down option in the heart of Poole without leaving anyone tied up outside.
