As Auckland is starting to prepare to move into the new traffic light framework soon, I bet we can’t wait to support our local small businesses and catch up with our friends. You’re looking for a spot for brunch and good coffee. OR a spot to kick back and have a beer. Now, here’s the important part, where your pooch is welcome too! (original blog posted Nov 2021, but updated regularly.)

I asked my friends on social media where their fav dog cafes and eateries are.

Specifically places that are FRIENDLY towards dogs. I’ve been to a few places where you can sit outside with your dog, but a lot of times this is out in the hot sun and unpleasant. We know that an eatery that likes dogs and take extra measures to make them comfortable make our doggy loving hearts even happier when our entire family feels welcome.

Here is a list of recommended cafes and eateries, many of who allow dogs inside, have menu options for your dog, have a covered area so might be a good spot for a rainy & cold day.
