If you experience second thoughts about leaving the house without your favorite furry sidekick or you’d treasure a place to find other dog-lovers who never tire of talking about all things canine, we’ve got a perfect solution for you and your precious pup—The Good Dog Café!

Family owned and operated by folks who totally get dogs and the people who love them, The Good Dog Café offers a coffee bar, grilled breakfast and lunch sandwiches and homemade chili for the humans. Open Thursday through Sunday, dogs are more than welcome inside the café and special snacks are also on hand for the guests of honor.

For those who need to burn off a little energy, a fenced common play area is available for an affordable one-visit or yearly subscription fee. All breeds are welcome, but unneutered dogs are not allowed in the outside play area. If your fuzzy best friend is too tiny to mingle and play with the big dogs, there’s a Tea Cup section designed just for small dogs and medium-sized pets that may be frightened of larger animals. All dog play park visitors must be accompanied by an owner at all times and respond to vocal commands.

The Good Dog Café is located at 2640 E Huntsville Road. To learn more, visit The Good Dog Café website.
