37 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants New Haven

“Olmo is one of the best spots in New Haven. It’s cozy, efficient, and kind. Their kitchen staff are personable, sincere, and make a point to connect with all guests. Even for someone like me who’s only here for a short while, they have a forever customer.“

“The food was awesome and it wasn’t too much to eat, it was just enough food.The service was excellent and so welcoming to me and my family. The atmosphere was great and you can tell that they put in a lot of effort into it. I totally recommend.“

“I had an amazing opportunity to cater a wedding of two great friends at The Brewery. I don't have enough great things to say about the place. The building and its grounds are amazing, the brewery its self is gorgeous. Attention to detail is above par in all aspects. The Brewery room and tap room one of the best i've seen. The upstairs in sophisticated and approachable. The husband and wife owners are wonderful and they way they attend to their guests and bar none. I highly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed and their beer is AWESOME“

“I had to review on Facebook because I already posted a Google review. I am obsessed with this place and the staff and the food. I came two nights in a row for my birthday (one night with family and the other night with friends). My waitresses were Mia and Jade. They were sensational!!! Mia was amazing and remembered I ordered the chocolate dipped strawberries for the next evening and made sure to have them prepared and ready to go. Jade went above and beyond for my birthday bringing me beautifully decorated plates. They made my birthday weekend so special!! I miss the Darien location in the sense that it wasn’t this easily accessible haha. They will get tired of seeing my face (especially at happy hour!)“

“Great coffee, and even greater environment. The staff were amazing and super helpful with top notch service. Warm lighting and comfortable seating that was perfect for studying and hanging out. 10/10 will go again!

P.S. Try the honeycomb bread, trust me ;)“

“Good coffee and pastries, and good people. Great place to relax.“

“Most places serving ramen are playing dress-up—neon signs, loud playlists, menus bloated with bullshit designed to photograph well and taste like nothing. The Loop by Hachiroku doesn’t have time for that.
This place cooks like it has something to prove—and backs it up. The broth comes out swinging: deep, aggressive, built with patience and a refusal to cut corners. It clings to the noodles the way it should, coating every bite with real flavor, not that watered-down, tourist-friendly nonsense you get in half the spots calling themselves “ramen bars.”
And the noodles? They’ve got backbone. Bite. Resistance. The kind of texture that tells you someone in that kitchen actually gives a damn—maybe even loses sleep over it. Every element feels earned, not assembled.
There’s no safety net here. No pandering. No soft edges to make it “accessible.” It’s focused, a little brutal, and completely unapologetic.
Frankly, New Haven has no business being this good at ramen—but here it is, quietly embarrassing places in bigger cities that should know better.
Eat here before it gets ruined by hype. Or don’t. More for the rest of us.“

“Walked into the shop and immediately there was the warmest smell of fresh cinnamon rolls in the oven - had to get some along with our coffee and so glad we did. Such a smooth iced americano and SUCH good cinnamon buns. The owner was so sweet! Glad we found this place to along around town“

“First time there. Wanted to try a different place than our usual couple of places. Very interesting menu with a huge variety, we had to bring home 3 different pies to try, and they were great! Can’t wait to go back and try more. 🍕❤️“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely worth the stop at LA CHICKY MUNCHY at the Food Truck Paradise in New Haven! The owners were super friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they take pride in not only their food but also their truck—it was spotless. The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. I had the shrimp in garlic sauce with tostones—so good! And the lobster empanada? Stuffed, crispy, and fried fresh absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to go back and try more!“

“Randomly stopped here for my mom’s birthday dinner and so glad we did! We were seated immediately, got our drinks pronto and the server made sure to make my mom feel special on her birthday! We ordered the mushroom pasta (truffle butter is divine), the roasted duck and bolognese. Yummy all around. Service is amazing and definitely contributes the most to this 5 star rating! We didn’t check out the rooftop but I heard that’s nice too.“

“It’s a very small coffee shop. The muffins were very good, DH liked his cheese danish. My latte was great. We sat outside and listened to the jazz band from the local high school play. They were raising funds for senior day. We were lucky to hear such good music“

“Their teas are so good and refreshing, you can order your tea custom how you like,they have machine that shakes the drink quite vigorously to mix it well.I tried the Thai milk tea with bubbles and passionfruit green tea with mango popping. Both were very good 👍“

“This was really, really good. I got the sweet basil chicken, fried rice, and steamed broccoli. The portions were generous, and it was absolutely affordable and worth the price. Tasted so good I went back to let them know. Such sweet people too. 100% recommend.“

“Amazing service at this location. When they changed their ordering platform, I accidentally ordered the wrong thing. After drinking it and noticing something was wrong, they came and talked with me, made sure I understood how to order correctly next time, brought me a sample of what I meant to order, and even replaced my drink. You just don’t get that type of service anymore, and with such friendliness. Love Whale Tea. Thanks!“

“Came here on a quiet weeknight and was amazed by the authentic Italian cuisine. Started off with a wonderful Burrata then I had the Rigatoni Bolgenese with was really good. We also bought a loaf of the Italian Bread to bring home. That bread with some Cabot butter and you are on to something!! Would visit again.“

“Heads up that they charge an automatic 20% gratuity on takeout orders“

“Excellent food. High quality breakfast.“

“Been to this restaurant three times & the food hits every time my favorite is the garlic soy & galibi chicken boneless. Plus my partner & I had a nice time laid-back. Just that the restaurant needs more staff because it takes the waitress to take the orders & give out the food & it would be great to add 2 more waiters.“

“Waiters, food and atmosphere get five stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great food and great customer service my favorite restaurant ?? never disappoint me Regi was so helpful thank you“

“Went there for my birthday on Saturday…. The atmosphere was very nice. Drinks really good. Music even better . Was having a good time until one of the bartenders told us to move in a rude way. No we have been dancing and coming back to the same spot at the bar so it was empty . Y ask us to move how abt the couple next to us. Or other people that have been standing there the same amount of time or longer. Not sure if I’ll go back which is really bad . 1 person can really ruin the way u see a place.“

“A tiny gem in a quaint, quiet enclave of Historic New Haven. Delicious muffins. Tasty coffee. Professional, friendly staff. Stop by. Sit. Chat and chew on fresh baked goods. Enjoy the vintage accessories and calm, relaxing atmosphere. Treat yourself to a respite from the daily hustle and bustle. A nice, hot cup of tea and a tasty warm muffin. Affordable prices! Near public transportation. Street parking available. Ride your bicycle, or walk. Beautiful, scenic, historic neighborhood.“

“Best Location around, The Guys behind the counter, whose names escape me, are always considerate, friendly, accepting and hard working without complaint. The overall look of the restaurant could use small revamp but the Service and Friendly nature is perfect for someone like me who deals with anxiety/depression and certain social situations. Staff make me feel comfortable and accepted. Thank you thank you thank you.“

“Good food, friendly service.“
