Before You Go

What it’s actually like with a dog

Dogs allowed is only the start. When we haven’t verified something, we say so instead of filling the gap.

Well-mannered dogs are welcome anywhere in the outdoor courtyard and outdoor seating; service dogs are welcome throughout. Dogs that are disruptive may be asked to leave.
Patio / outdoor details
Shaded outdoor courtyard under a large tree, strung with lights.

Best time to visit
Morning lattes or an afternoon cold brew on the patio.

Notes: Dog policy stated on the cafe's own FAQ.

Dog policies, hours, and availability can change. Verify directly before visiting. In a Central Texas summer, skip hot pavement in the middle of the afternoon even if the listing looks good on paper.
