Dog Friendly Cafes In Dubai 

A review about the best dog friendly cafes in Dubai. Here are some of the cafes that we reviewed: Ivy’s Secret Garden, Spill The Bean, XVA gallery cafe, and Single Fin Cafe.

Ivy’s Secret Garden Cafe 

First on the list is Ivy’s secret garden cafe in a warehouse 3 Al Asayel st- Al Quoz. The cafe is run by 2 people who want to offer a variety of things. Ivy’s secret garden is a plant cafe and boutique plant shop, they serve italian style coffee, small bites, acai bowls, and a selected range of drinks. It’s a dog friendly cafe which means you can bring your dog with you, and the best part is that they serve ice cream for dogs of various types and flavors. I personally took my dog there and it was an amazing experience and she loved the kidney flavor ice cream. 

Ivy’s secret garden offers a plant cafe, corporate solutions, workshop, and activities. The latest events were coffee and paint workshop, kids soap making workshop, and herbalist body care workshop. 

They have a wonderful balcony desk where you can chill and sip a cup of coffee. The area is a great space to work, relax and meet with people. They created an indoor garden that brings a high positive energy in the place, and I am sure that your fur friend will love it. Perfect, isn’t it? Enjoy a delicious coffee and a warm meal while your dog is socializing and having an ice cream. Besides, it’s enjoyable and lovely having puppies running around and having fun together. 

They don’t charge you for bringing your fur baby with you, although they do charge for the ice cream, and you can spend as much time as you want in Ivy’s secret garden you won’t regret it!

Spill the Bean Cafe

Do you ever fancy a cup of coffee on the weekend mornings without wanting to do all the hard work? How about a curated section of the latest books and novels for the readers? A vegan friendly menu? And for those worried about leaving their pets alone, tired of looking for pet friendly restaurants in Dubai? Well let me spill the beans! 

At the heart of Dubai Sustainable City, on the ground floor of The Sustainable City Plaza, in a quiet little corner you’ll meet Spill the Bean, Bites and Brews and its wonderful crew. Brewing the most aromatic blends of coffee and serving a diverse platter of vegan friendly, sugar free and lactose free alternatives, this pet friendly restaurant is one of its kind in the region and I couldn’t say no. 

Make no mistake, the cafe lives up to its reputation as a member of Dubai Sustainable City. The barista serves up some delicious coffee I have tasted, and to my surprise it is all sustainable! The owner sources coffee from single-origin and the chef’s prepares ingredients in-house with a menu made from by-products so there is zero wastage! It might not suit a large gathering, but the café has enough seats to entertain your friends and family. The interior of the shop will give you a warm and cozy feeling with vintage warm lights and wooden furniture to give you that vintage aesthetic. 

Even more impressive is the chef’s selection for you lovely little pets that can tag along to enjoy a wonderful dining experience. The little pet food menu features various dog treats from the jar, a main course of a variety of dog kibble for you to treat them with and to top it all off, a little pet dessert: peanut butter flavored treats! 

Spill the bean is a must visit. From the aesthetics to the flavors, food options and pet friendly facilities, this café is the perfect coffee shop for your weekend mornings and brunches, and it does not matter if you want to go alone or with company, it certainly lives up to our expectations.

XVA Gallery Cafe

Are you looking for a calming place to work or have a more authentic experience of tradition with your pet? XVA gallery cafe is the perfect hidden place for you, they created a concept which will help pet owners to feel more comfortable. XVA was opened in 2003 as a place where pet owners could come and spend the day, even stay the night, and it’s not just a cafe there’s a gallery, hotel and boutique.

I took my pet and spent a night over there and had a wonderful time since it’s a pet friendly place. The hotel is located in the heart of the Al Fahidi Historical neighborhood, the oldest community in Dubai unique for its traditional maze – like streets and proximity to the creek. Al Fahidi is one of the most important heritage sites, many tourists come and visit this place.

The cafe serves freshly prepared tasty vegetarian and vegan food including many options of main courses, appetizers, fresh drinks and hot drinks in the green and cozy courtyard, away from the bustle and noise of the city with affordable and reasonable prices. In the boutique they have different unique handmade pieces and high quality jewelry with reasonable prices. It is committed to supporting local, small scale suppliers following our search for unique and quality items.
