We only list a café when a guide or the café itself says dogs are welcome. Plenty of Portland coffee shops have a bench out front without saying anything about dogs, so they are not on the list.

Can dogs sit inside a café in Portland?

Oregon's food code allows pet dogs in a café's designated outdoor seating area, not indoors where food is served (Oregon Health Authority). Even so, a source says dogs are welcome inside at Albina Press – Hawthorne, Cathedral Coffee, Honey Latte Cafe, Keeper Coffee Co., Matta Café Bar, One Moto Cafe, Portland Cà Phê, Red Square Cafe, and The Fresh Pot – Mississippi. If your dog has to wait outside, plan for a table on the patio, especially in the rainy months.

Treats for dogs

Brickhaus Coffee, Mutts Coffee Roasters, and Ovation Coffee & Tea – Pearl sell pup cups or other treats made for dogs.

A few tips

• Many coffee shops have no table service. Your dog waits at the outdoor table while you order, so bring a friend or plan for it.
• Covered patios matter in Portland from October to May. The note on each café says what the source mentions.
• Rules change, and a café that welcomed dogs last year may not this year. If it matters, call ahead.
