Downtown Dallas can offer a breathtaking view of the city around you, but your animal companion always keeps you down-to-earth. Dogs make wonderful apartment companions and, in Dallas, they don't have to stay at home. There are many pet-friendly restaurants and venues around the city where you and your furry friend can explore and enjoy together.

Today, we're taking a walk through some of our favorite dog-friendly cafes near our Downtown Dallas apartments.

Flying Horse Coffee Shop

The Flying Horse Coffee Shop is one of the best pet-friendly places in town. In fact, they keep a jar of doggy treats on the counter for four-legged guests. The staff often greet the furry regulars with the same familiarity and warmth as their humans. It also helps that this is a delicious place to get coffee, amazing breakfast sandwiches and burritos, powdered sugar waffles, giant cinnamon rolls, and real fruit smoothies.

MUTTS Canine Cantina

The MUTTS Canine Cantina is an all-patio restaurant run from a kitchen enclosure in Uptown. The restaurant serves casual foods (burgers, tenders, and fries) and craft beers for humans. For dogs, they have a woof menu. This includes bite-sized beef franks and - for those hot days - peanut butter pupsicles made of frozen peanut butter and beef broth on a stick. You'll also find plenty of patio dining and there's even an enclosed off-leash park.

Toasted Coffee + Kitchen

Toasted Coffee shop is a great place for artisanal toast (yes, we said "artisanal toast"), sandwiches, and freshly brewed coffee with your dog. Another great pet-friendly venue, they allow dogs indoors. It's a little further out East, but if you're craving high ceilings, cool industrial design, and some wacky delicious toast with your coffee - and your dog wants to come, this is the place.
