1. Pups & Cups Café, Pullman, Washington, USA
College kids and locals mix love bringing their dogs to this converted house near campus. Your pup even gets free puppuccinos and a day out. Baristas started with just cappuccinos but ended up building a whole pet-friendly menu. Half the regulars admit they come more for the animals than the (actually great) beverages.

2. La Caféothèque, Paris, France
Born out of the Marais district, this iconic Parisian bistro blends French espresso culture with an unmatched pet-friendly vibe. They roast their own beans and let pets hang inside, which is a rarity in Paris. While locals enjoy their morning espresso and settle in with their laptops, they're also welcome to bring their pets along to enjoy their company.

3. Therpup Dog Café, Bengaluru, India
Tech workers in Whitefield needed a break from office life, so this spot offered up a solution. A bastion of good Indian filter coffee, avant-garde food items, and hand-painted murals, Therpup Dog Café is a safe space for dogs to run around while their owners take meetings.

4. Boris & Horton, New York City, USA
Finally, there's a coffee spot where you don't have to tie your dog outside. Founders spent months getting NYC's approval to let pups inside, and now it's a hit. Good drinks, a solid breakfast menu, pet yoga, and occasional trainer visits make it worth the weekend crowds.

5. Singl-end Café & Bakehouse Garnethill, Glasgow, UK
Employees here started taking photos of their doggo customers and sticking them on the walls. Now, everyone wants their pup on display. The food is just as impressive. They bake everything fresh, including treats that smell good enough for humans to try. You'll also find Gluten-free and vegan dishes here.
6. Tin Shed Garden Café, Portland, Oregon, USA
The kitchen here cooks actual meals for pets—not just treats from a jar. We're talking about chicken, sweet potato, or peanut butter banana ice cream. Tuesdays are packed because dogs eat free, but the covered patio works even in Portland rain. Delicious brunch options keep both pets and humans happy.

7. Temari no Ouchi, Tokyo, Japan
This spot proves you can do the whole Japanese tea house thing with cats. The garden out back has become a neighborhood hangout. Well-behaved pets join their owners at tatami seating or explore the serene garden while bonding over delicious meals like sushi rolls and matcha desserts.

8. Café Beignet, New Orleans, USA
Located on Canal Street, Beignet Cafe has become an unofficial morning meetup spot for French Quarter pet owners. Something about those sugary beignets and iced americanos hits different when there's a pooch napping under your chair. A purr-fect spot to experience New Orleans alongside your furry friend.

9. Catmosphere Cat Café, Chiang Mai, Thailand
The name itself gives it away. Baristas keep taking in street cats, and somehow it works. They're super friendly with visitors. Cats play around while people drink Thai iced tea and work on laptops. Some regulars show up just to hang out with their favorite felines, and the drinks are just a bonus.

10. The Dog Café, Los Angeles, USA
The setup here is heartwarming and straightforward: grab a drink and relax among rescued dogs in need of a forever home. You can even adopt one (or more) if you're ready. If you're not in the market for a furry companion, it still beats the usual chain coffee shop experience with the added joy of canine company.
