Woodlands Cafe

Woodlands Cafe is a cosy, dog-friendly café in Bangor where dogs are welcome inside alongside you. Open daily from 9:30am to 4:00pm, it's a handy coastal stop for walkers coming off the trails at Helen's Bay or Crawfordsburn, offering a proper sit-down break without leaving your dog outside.

The café serves food throughout the day, so you can settle in for a bite together after a beach walk or a morning along the North Down coast. The interior is described as warm and welcoming, with a relaxed atmosphere that suits muddy-paw days as much as cleaner ones.

Whether you're refuelling mid-walk or stopping in for a lazy morning coffee, Woodlands makes it easy to keep the whole crew together. It's the kind of place that works when you need hot food, a calm corner and a dog at your feet without any fuss.
