Seattle cafe serves sniffs and snacks
Seattle dog lovers have a new option in North Queen Anne where pups and their people can find playtime, fresh food, and friendly meetups rain or shine.
State of play: Open since September, Coby's Cafe was inspired by owner Mary Wu's desire to take her Yorkshire terrier, Coby, everywhere she went.
How it works: Most indoor dog-friendly cafes in Seattle only offer prepackaged snacks due to King County public health rules that require animals to be separated from food preparation.
But Coby's Cafe has two separate but connected spaces: a lounge for dogs and a kitchen for humans to prepare fresh sandwiches, vegan waffles, coffee, tea, ice cream and "woofles" for dogs.
What they're saying: Wu told Axios that she's seeing new "pupstomers" every day and that the breed meet-ups are especially popular.
"Dog parents love them and want more."
