The Top 9 Dog Cafés In London
1. Pawsitive Café
- Where: 52 Westbourne Grove, London, W2 5SH
How about a café that’s as good for the soul as it is for Instagram? Then Pawsitive Café in Notting Hill is where you need to be. The brainchild of a lifelong dog lover (who grew up with seven dogs - talk about a dream childhood), this dog cafe in London was born from a university innovation project that blossomed into something truly special. Inspired by the incredible emotional support dogs provide, the spot blends furry companionship with mental well-being; think calming interiors, creative activities, and, of course, plenty of puppy love.
And let’s not forget the food - because this place caters to both two-legged and four-legged visitors. When it first opened in 2022, it was the first in London to roll out a dedicated dog menu. So while you sip on your matcha latte and devour pancakes or avocado toast, your furry best friend can chow down on a gourmet treat. Win-win.
At the heart of it all is Domino, the owner’s beloved Dalmatian and official muse of Pawsitive.
