Fantastic set up that never disappoint s; for years now. Best staff, super friendly, excellent service - At least from the human side, my dog always looks at me like I tricked him by saying 'lets go to the park'

Found this place by accident. Everyone here, both employees and park visitors alike, is friendly towards both humans and dogs. The club was quite delicious, and Copper just gave compliments (a la belch) to the chef of his hot dog! And the view is quite picturesque.

A café near a dog run is brilliant. A café with tons of food & drink choices - even more brilliant! If you're local, you know this spot is awesome - there's restrooms, a dog treat dispenser, plenty of #2 bags, even a dog grooming station next door. If you're traveling, make this a destination stop! Just be sure to arrive before five.

I love this spot! It’s a dog oasis with dogs everywhere due to the park and groomer next door. The service and food is great too. Simple but delicious sandwiches, coffee, smoothies etc. The tuna sandwich and breakfast bagel were both delicious. The latte and Arnold Palmer hit the spot too. Great place with an amazing location.
