Collies & Co

COLLIES AND CO HAS CLOSED PERMANENTLY AS OF NOVEMBER 2022.

For dog lovers - Collies and Co at Samford is the cafe for you. With tasty food and coffee, a nice homey setting, and a playpen where you can pet puppies, you will love every minute here.

There is everything to love about this cafe's setting - with quirky sheep sculptures, outdoor picnic tables, and green grass, you will feel right at home. It has a breezy and relaxed atmosphere where you can sit back, enjoy a cup of coffee and some delicious food, and play with puppies if you please.

This cafe's winning feature is definitely their puppy pen. Filled with adorable (mostly border collie) puppies, it will be hard for you to leave once you start playing with them! For dog lovers this place is definitely heaven, and you can even bring your pets and sit with them whilst you dine outside. 

Featuring stellar menu items such as bacon pancakes (three large and fluffy pancakes with rashers of bacon, banana, and maple syrup), butterscotch waffles (two waffles with their signature house-made butterscotch sauce, caramel pieces and ice cream), or their 'morning greens' (two slices of toasted sourdough, two eggs your way, fried halloumi, mushrooms, spinach, cherry tomatoes, smashed avocado, tomato relish and beetroot relish). 

You can also grab a cup of tasty Merlo coffee, a thickshake, or a homemade smoothie.
