No need to leave your furry friend home alone with these pro-pooch spots for coffee, food and treats.
For all pet lovers, squeezing in as much time with our furry friends is often at the top of our list. Lucky for us, Dubai has plenty of pet-friendly spaces to accommodate walks and the like. But when time comes to find somewhere for a post-ambulation coffee or treat, suddenly places that are happy to see a panting pooch at the door seem few and far between.
Well, as ever, we’ve got you covered with our list of the top pet-friendly hangout spots welcoming you as the summer heat starts to build…
Aria and Bianca’s Boba Tea Café
📅 Daily, 11 AM - 11:45 PM
🗺️ Cluster L, JLT
This pet-friendly café located in Jumeirah Lakes Towers has options for humans and dogs alike, with a selection of bubble tea for you and healthy food for the pups. A perfect pre- or post-walk place for you and your canine companion.
UBK
📅 Saturday & Sunday, Noon - 5 PM
🗺️ Mövenpick Hotel Jumeirah Lakes Towers, Cluster A, JLT
If outdoor space is more your vibe, then the terrace area at this popular bar in JLT is a cracking spot to while away a lazy afternoon. During the summer season, the outside area is covered and air conditioned, so no need to worry about overheating.
Happy Bark Day
📅 Thursday to Tuesday, 1 PM - 10 PM
🗺️ Business Bay
This bakery could hardly be more dog friendly - Happy Bark Day is a premium pet dessert shop, where you can reward your pooch for a well-behaved walk (or not, we all know how spoilt our pets are). All the recipes are designed by a certified pet nutritionist, putting only the best ingredients into waffles, cheesecakes and ice creams for your four-legged friend.
Tail Café
📅 Daily, 7 AM - 9 PM
🗺️ The Market, Dubai Investment Park
Whilst the products at this location are not all purpose-baked for dogs, the venue itself is a clear homage to all things canine, so of course it’s pet friendly. It even has an area where they can safely play off-leash. In the meantime, enjoy a proper cup of coffee and a pastry.
Just Vegan
📅 Daily, 10 AM - 11 PM
🗺️ Jumeirah Beach Rd, Umm Suqeim
Since first opening in Dubai Marina in 2017, this animal-friendly vegan spot has become a favourite for plant-based pet lovers, now located on Jumeirah Beach Road amongst lush foliage which hangs from the ceiling.
Single Fin

🗺️ Jumeirah Beach Road
The beach vibes are strong at this Jumeirah Beach Road spot, with beautiful views from a location that welcomes the whole family, kids, canines and all. What’s more, it’s open from early until late, ready after a brisk morning walk or an all-day beach trip.
Pawdy Neighbors
📅 Daily, 7 AM - 10 PM
🗺️ Manzil Downtown By Vida, Downtown Dubai
Dogs come first at Pawdy Neighbours, located near Burj Khalifa in Downtown Dubai. This place is part bistro and part pet spa, so you can enjoy a fabulous meal whilst never being far from your pampered pooch at the next-door groomers.
OUIBar + Terrace
📅 Daily, 6:30 AM - 1 AM
🗺️ Radisson Red Hotel Dubai Silicon Oasis
The Radisson Red Hotel at Silicon Oasis is fully pet-friendly, so naturally their OUI Bar and Terrace also welcomes you and your fluffy plus-one both inside and out. They even have a menu for dogs, complete with woof-worthy ice creams and treats.
Terra Eatery
📅 Daily, 8 AM - Midnight
🗺️ Jumeirah, Al Thanya Street
In the heart of Jumeirah, Terra Eatery is a classy Mediterranean restaurant that refuses to leave your animal out of the action. The small-yet-perfectly-formed menu offers loads of small plates that you can share with company, without having to leave a lonesome pooch home alone.
