Inside, the shelves are filled with artisan produce and locally sourced goodies, while the cafe hums with the scent of freshly baked bread and coffee. Every item is made in-house — from loaves and cakes to their now-famous giant sausage rolls - all crafted with care and a love for good, honest food. Whether you’re stopping by for brunch, lunch, or a quick coffee and slice of something sweet, the team’s passion for quality and flavour shines through in every bite.
In the evenings, Dogh reveals another side of its personality with its monthly bistro nights. The cafe transforms into an intimate 25-seat restaurant, offering a beautifully curated five-course set menu built around a different theme each month. It’s a cosy, intimate food-lovers experience that celebrates creativity, seasonality, and community dining at its best.
Why it deserves a place in Indie Helmsley
Dogh perfectly captures the spirit of independent hospitality - inventive yet grounded, welcoming yet refined. Its dedication to craft, community, and culinary creativity makes it a standout destination in the Howardian Hills and a worthy addition to the Indie Helmsley collection.
“A beautiful place for lunch and to pick up a few treats from the deli. It’s a very comfortable, dog friendly, cafe. The welcome was great and although it’s a small place and was quite busy we found a nice table for lunch. The food was lovely and service excellent, there is nothing I can fault at all.”
