5 pet-friendly cafes in Delhi that are pooch-approved!
For the second edition of our series, we track down the top ones in the capital city.
In a city that loves its pets, it’s only fair that there are a number of eateries welcoming diners and their four-legged companions with exclusive pet menus and large outdoor patios. From chocolate factory-cum-cafe to all-vegetarian restaurants, Bazaar India spotlights the ones that deserve a place on your next weekend plan with your pup.
Colocal
The expansive 65-seater Colocal café in Chhatarpur’s Dhan Mill Compound in Delhi serves as the perfect backdrop for a day out with your pooch. While the café is known for its artisanal chocolates and is the only bean-to-bar chocolate factory in the capital, it is also known for hosting pets. Try their chocolate-based sweets menu (hot chocolate, anyone?) but don’t forget the savouries, too—from sourdough pizzas to sandwiches. And don’t worry, your dog won’t just be staring at your face—there’s a special chicken bowl for pets at the café.
Where: Dhan Mill Compound, 21B, 100 Feet Road, SSN Marg, Chhatarpur.
Quick Brown Fox Coffee Roasters
If Colocal is for fans of chocolate, then Quick Brown Fox, a specialty independent roaster is a coffee lover’s dream. And your furry friend will love it too—their curated menu for pets features dishes like whole wheat and carrot “pupcakes” with peanut butter frosting and pumpkin cookies with bacon. As for yourself, don’t miss the Neapolitan-style pizzas, Italian sandwiches made with freshly-baked bread, and hearty mains like mac ‘n’ cheese and grilled chicken to go along with your coffee of choice.
Where: Dhan Mill Compound, 23A, 100 Feet Road, SSN Marg, Chhatarpur.
Café Dori
One of the first cafes in Delhi to allow pets, Café Dori, conceptualised by Nappa Dori, has a spacious outdoor area that your pet will love exploring. They have a special menu for your beloved pooch too, so while you snack on croissants, toasts, and coffee, your pet gets to enjoy treats of its own!
Where: Dhan Mill Compound, 100 Feet Road, SSN Marg, Chhatarpur.
Greenr Cafe
An experiential café with branches in GK and Vasant Vihar (and in Gurugram and Mumbai too), Greenr is all about celebrating nature—through its name, its verdant setting and its wholesome plant-based food. So on your next weekend outing, take your pet along so they get to soak in some greenery too! From colourful smoothie bowls and crisp, briny salads to comforting katsu curry, sample their extensive menu while your furry buddy enjoys your company!
Where: 4, Market, Basant Lok, Vasant Vihar.
Diggin Cafe
One of the most iconic eateries in Delhi with stunning interiors, Diggin Cafe is a favourite with pets, too. Its lush outdoor patio makes the perfect playground for your pup while you dig into their popular crispy zucchini fries and pasta. But keep in mind that the café has its own resident dogs too, so if your canine companion tends to get overwhelmed in the presence of other dogs, best to keep it on a leash.
Where: Santushti Shopping Complex, Shop No-10, Opposite Samrat Hotel.
