Treats for dogs
Ascend Coffee Roasters, Better Buzz Coffee Pacific Beach Grand, Caféina Café, Communal Coffee, S3 Coffee Bar, and Seven Seas Roasting Co. sell something made for dogs, like a pup cup or a dog treat. A free biscuit at the counter does not count; when a source mentions one, it is in the note.
Patio coffee
California law lets cafés welcome dogs in their outdoor seating if the owner chooses to. Your dog must be on a leash or in a carrier and stay off the chairs, and it waits outside while you order unless the café says otherwise (AB 1965). That is why every café on this list is about the patio or sidewalk tables.
