Dogs and coffee - it doesn’t get much more Seattle than that! Bark Espresso is the city’s ultimate dog-friendly coffee spot. Though, as their site says, “dog not required” to get a great cup of coffee. In this city, you can’t just pour a cup of joe to compete. The Bark Espresso baristas are trained to pull shots with expertise, and their novelty drinks are as rich and flavorful as your dog is adorable… and we KNOW how you feel about your dog’s adorable-ness.

If both you and your dog are hungry, this is the spot for you. The Belltown Pub features a “Pup Grub” menu with dishes like Turkey & Chicken, Free Range Venison, Chicken & Sweet Potato, and--of course-- Pacific Salmon.

Westcrest Park
9000 8th Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98106
Westcrest Park in southwest Seattle features a special off-leash area big enough for your dog to run around and wear himself out in, but small enough where you don’t lose sight of him. Relax on one of the provided benches or chairs in the shade while your pup gets to wander around and make friends. If he needs to cool down, a doggie drinking fountain is provided for his refreshment. Parking is nearby and a separate, smaller dog park is available for shy and small breeds.
