Being an L.A. native, it’s easy to overlook the many unique neighborhoods in the City of Angels. What better way to rediscover L.A. than to go coffee bar hopping around the city with your furry bestie? For Chelsea the Terrier and her scruffy sister Emma, finding pup friendly establishments when grabbing a latte are a must. Dog friendly coffee bars usually provide outdoor seating, water bowl, and a safe place to tie your pup. There are so many stylish coffee shops to visit with the new wave of independent coffee bars sprouting up all over L.A.. You don’t necessarily have to be a coffee connoisseur to appreciate good coffee and beautifully designed spaces. Here are some of Chelsea & Emma’s favorite fur friendly coffee establishments:

1. Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea, Silverlake
“Our Silver Lake coffeebar seeks to bridge the gap between the outdoors and in store with plenty of outdoor seating. Our coffeebar reflects the spirit of its neighborhood with its casual, minimalistic design aesthetic. Standing at center stage sits a marvelous blue-tiled bar, featuring Intelligentsia’s internationally known baristas and of course, spectacular espressos and coffees.” – Intelligentsia website
Located at Sunset Junction, this place has lots of spacious outdoor patio seating. The floor is beautifully decorated with stunning bright blue and white patterned tiles.

Great coffee with a very hipster vibe. We even spotted a few TV actors here! This place has a nice shady outdoor deck to hang out on. If you’re in the mood for some ice cream, Mcconnell’s Ice Cream is right next door.

Small coffee bar inside, but has plenty of outdoor seating and their avocado toast is a must try. Check out Alchemy Works next door, they are also dog friendly.

7. Collage Coffee, Highland Park
A small coffee bar, with limited seating outside. We are in love with the colorful bold tile design covering the exterior and interior of this coffee bar designed by artists FAILE. Their waffle on a stick is worth a try.

10. Alfred Tea Room, West Hollywood
When we want to opt for tea instead of coffee, we love this whimsically peachy pink themed tea shop. You can even order boba with your iced tea.
