Worth it
  • Address420 Amsterdam Ave, New York, NY 10024
  • From my guide, updated January 2024.

Black Lab Cafe stands as a testament to the saying, “where there’s a will, there’s a way.” The founders, Nikolas and Kristoffer Powers, dedicated to never leaving the house without their black labs, discovered the scarcity of dog-friendly restaurants in New York City.

In response, they took matters into their own hands and established a safe and inviting pet-friendly cafe where people can drop by with their pooches. Here, both humans and canines can relish in the joy of coffee and treats in a welcoming environment crafted with love and passion.

Locals Tip: If you’re looking to celebrate your pup, consider ordering the full-sized Doggy Birthday Cake from this dog-friendly cafe in NYC.
