Tldr; It's okay.

Don't be mistaken by the majority of these reviews, this place isn't necessarily "dog friendly." Is there patio seating where you can have your dog with you? Yes. Are dogs allowed inside? No. Additionally the cafe states that their name comes from a family tradition, not because they aimed for a dog-forward establishment. That being said my dog and I had seats in the small enclosed patio area.

I can't...
The cafe is cute, with a tiny outdoor space. It was too intimate for my liking, but it was still adorable. I can't review the food because I couldn't order. There was signage that no dogs were allowed inside, but no one took orders from the outdoor space, so I had to leave since I didn't want to leave my small dog unattended. Putting QR code menus on the tables can quickly solve this problem.
Great spot. Coffee drinks are excellent and the baristas are friendly in a genuine way. I wish there was a bit more seating inside for work sessions but there is plenty outside if the weather abides.

Overall one of my go-to spots for good drinks and a good book.
