Gusto Coffee Shop is a central high-street café in Porthcawl where dogs are welcome inside. You'll find it on John Street, close to the heart of town and perfectly placed for a coffee stop after a stroll along the seafront or through the town centre. Inside, there's sit-in seating and a relaxed atmosphere where dogs can settle under the table while you work through the menu.

Recent visitors have noted well-behaved dogs dotted around the café, making it a genuinely comfortable choice for owners who'd rather not leave their dog outside. The kitchen serves coffee, cakes and a full food menu, so you can make a proper meal of it or just grab a flat white and a pastry.

Gusto opens daily from 8:30am to 6:00pm, giving you plenty of flexibility whether you're after an early breakfast or a late-afternoon pick-me-up. It's the sort of spot that makes town errands with the dog far less stressful.
