Dispatch

Dispatch is a bright, independent coffee shop in Hockley, Nottingham's lively creative quarter and dogs are welcome inside. You'll find speciality coffee, pastries and an all-day atmosphere that suits everything from a quick flat white to a longer catch-up, all with your dog settled at your feet.

The café opens Monday to Friday from 8:30 am until 8 pm, Saturday 10 am to 8 pm and Sunday 10 am to 4:30 pm, making it a useful city-centre stop whether you're starting the day or wandering back from the shops. The long weekday hours mean you can dodge the weekend crowds if your dog prefers a quieter visit.

Hockley's narrow streets and independent shops make this a handy coffee stop when you're exploring the neighbourhood with the lead still in hand. There's no need to plan a relay or leave anyone tied outside—everyone can sit down together.
