1. stella coffee
You better believe there’s free candy at Stella’s Cafe. This brightly hued Pearl Street café features live music, walls adorned with artwork for sale, and a large, shady, pup-friendly patio. For being such a good boy while you gobbled up a piece of banana nut bread and sipped matcha iced tea, treat your pup to a new toy (or two) at the nearby pet store. dogs too

2. highland cork & coffee
Whether the doggo is your early morning coffee buddy or your after-work bubbly friend, dogs rest at highlands cork & coffee patio all day. afternoons are affectionately called “puppy time” due to the number of four-legged patrons. after you two finish your snacks: complimentary bowls of water and treats for your pup; Panini and a cup for you: Head to Biscotti Hound for homemade dog biscuits in flavors like coconut and pumpkin. (Planning a birthday party for your woofer? The Biscotti Hound also makes birthday cakes for dogs.)
3. washing benefit
After sniffing Washington Park’s lakeside trails and flower gardens, hit up Wash Perk (we can’t help but wonder if the name was inspired by friends’ Central Perk). Order a flavored iced tea or fresh-roasted coffee, then sit back and take a selfie on the dog-friendly patio, which has plenty of tables with umbrellas. pro tip: try the latte with honey and cinnamon; it’s absolutely heavenly and might even make the pup drool with envy.
4. rooster cafeteria
despite its nickname, we promise this cap hill coffee shop is an ace for doggos. in fact, they even have a dog park with water bowls and a poop station. stay warm on the cozy patio by sitting near one of the two fire pits, or enjoy the shade on a scorching hot day. roostercat stays open until 8 p.m. because sometimes you need a pick-me-up at night.
5. the radiator coffee & bar
the coffee from the radiator & bar is a neighborhood favorite sunnyside hang fur for good reason. open from sunrise (7 a.m.) to 9 p.m. from Monday to Friday and from 11 p.m. On weekends, you can order Cafe Pablo and bagels with fido in the morning, then come back later for cocktails and sandwiches. kick back with your woof on their spacious outdoor patio, which is perfect for work, play, or people-watching.
6. paul’s coffee

Do you and your pup have very refined tastes and look up at the thought of your roasted coffee beans in who knows where? Pablo’s Coffee has its own roasting facility and shop in East Colfax, along with two other locations in Cap Hill and downtown. There is no Wi-Fi at the Cap Hill location, so bring a book and prepare to gaze longingly into your pup’s eyes.
