    If you're visiting Boris & Horton, it's because you're either looking for a place to bring your dog, or you're looking to play with other people's dogs while they work. Either way, it's a great place to visit and truly one of a kind. They've thought of almost everything - dog safe baked goods for purchase, extra protection to make sure your pup doesn't escape when someone is walking in, and even a doggy hall monitor paying close attention to see if there are any accidents to clean up. You're not visiting here for the beverages or food, so with that being said, they're okay. Not the best coffee and not the best sandwich I've had, but it's a place to bring my dog while I work and have a strong internet connection, so that's a win for me! If deciding to come check out this magical place, be sure to make a purchase in support - don't just visit for the free petting zoo and leave.

    The concept of this dog cafe easily makes this 5-stars for me to start off with. I truly wish there are more places like this as someone who is always looking for dog-friendly spot. The biggest different is that you pup can join you inside instead of most other spots that only allow dogs outdoors in the patio. No, I do not want to sit outside with my dog on a super hot/cold day. Anyways, there's a separate side for the cafe and another for the dog side. On the dog side, dogs roam free without leashes like a dog park. Of course be responsible and watch your dog in case anything happens. They also had a lot of doggie treats and accessories for sale, so I had to treat my dog to a Puptart ($5.50). It's super cute and my dog loved it! There's also a dog affirmation vending machine that I was obsessed with for only $1 each print. I seriously wanted to get all of them, but stopped at 3.. for now. Also, got an Iced Green Tea ($4) for myself, which was very plain. I didn't care for it too much, but will definitely return here because it's perfect place to bring my pup while I work.

    the arepas were the perfect balance of sweet & savory! it was full of meat & topped with guava -- a unique combo that works so well together. there were a ton of cute & friendly dogs running around! just a heads up, there's a $5 fee on top of your order if you plan to sit inside the dog section of the cafe & don't have your own dog

    Boris and Norton. You know everyone raved about this place on tik tok! A dog cafe! And the idea is there, but in reality is it something you really want... Well think about it. Who doesn't love dogs. However a bunch of dogs in one confined place, with no open windows... that's a whole lot of smells hahaha! If you can handle it and work at the same time, this is the place to be. However if you can't, you are better bringing your hot spot to central park and sitting there. The staff are friendly and the coffee is good! You order in a separate area, away from dogs. There is also outdoor seating, which allows you to interact with dogs as they come in and out. Definitely an experience!

    Excellent food - had a chicken wrap and a macchiato and they were delish! Service is above and beyond! I wanted a caramel macchiato but the Stbx style and they gave me the traditional style. I was ok with it but why saw the surprise on my face and they made me the other one for free! Sooo sweet! Was totally surprised by that gesture as I was happily eating and drinking away when they came with the extra coffee! Ambiance is just fun and puts a smile on your face because it's a doggy cafe after all! Would go back anytime here! Pls check them out if you haven't already!

    My partner and I were looking for a dog cafe in Manhattan and found that Boris & Horton was a popular place. We ended up going on a Saturday afternoon. Once we arrived, our order was taken in a timely manner and realized there was good seating in the cafe as well. Definitely a great place to study or do work remotely because of how spacious the area was. We got a cold brew with milk and it was very bitter...I will have to say that it wasn't the best in town. Also, the matcha lemonade was alright and towards the bottom of the drink, there were a handful of chunks that wasn't mixed correctly. I thought this was a dog cafe where there would be many pets wandering around, but I guess it's based on whether owners will bring their dogs, so not what I was expecting. A great place to bring pets any day though. Food: 3/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5

    As a dog lover but not ready for the responsibility of being a dog owner, this place is ideal. I always think to myself having a dog for 2 hours a day would be perfect. Maybe I have commitment issues idk. Anyways, there are few cures in life for having a rough day like a little labradoodle named Tata running up wagging his tail 100 miles an hour while you are trying to get some work done ahahah. How could I not crack a smile? I got to talking to one of the staff who was working on the floor, and it turned out to be the owner. His dog is Boris and his daughter's, Horton. Coppy's passion for his business oozes out of him and brought a smile to my face. He created this because either him or his daughter would always have to wait outside with the dogs as the other got their coffee. You have to respect this level of innovation and follow through, a true entrepreneurial spirit. The coffee is great as well, as the cold brew had me LOCKED in.

    Visited on sunday at around noon time. The place is a cute cafe and indoor dog playground. There are many street parkings available. It's pretty easy to travel via Subway. There are some ev charging stations around the neighborhood. The place is pretty clean. The manager usually cleans right after if there is any accident. There is a double door for possible run out. Make sure you open one door at a time. There are many tables and outlets. Ordered avocado toast. It was amazing. Avocado paste tasted very fresh and well seasoned. The price is a bit high. It was 13 dollars. Cold brew tasted pretty mediocre. Typical cold brew. Overall, i really enjoyed bringing my little fur baby to this place. I could enjoy brunch and coffee and still have my fur baby to have some fun!!

    Dog friendly cafe, offering a nice range of delicious snacks, teas, juices, smoothies and even alcoholic beverages too. I opted to sit on the bench outside and enjoy the weather. I ordered an Americano and regretted it after waiting for what felt like an eternity, It was pretty standard but good. I suggest the cold brew on tap unless you have an extra 10-15 minutes and don't mind waiting. If your looking for a chill spot to hang out with your pup while you get some work done or catch up with a friend there's plenty of seating inside too.

    The most adorable dog café tucked into the heart of East Village -- happened upon this spot and it was such a boost of serotonin. They have the cafe split into a humans-only and dogs-only side -- the puppies are really well-behaved, albeit chaotic. It was fun to hang out and play with some dogs while waiting for our drinks, and the owners are all so friendly! I didn't love my matcha, since it felt super chalky. That being said, my friend loved his coffee drink.

    This place is paradise for dog lovers! Came today for the second time with a friend and her dog. Ordered a bunch of food to go as I had a gift card. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. I haven't finished what I brought home yet but the fig and jam grilled cheese and iced green tea were delicious. My friend got lemonade and an egg and cheese sandwich which she enjoyed. The place was packed and all the patrons were really nice, and the dogs of course were absolutely adorable.

    Another day, another doggie cafe. Me & my uncle love checking out dog cafes with my pup so we decided to come here on a Sunday afternoon! There are two entrances once you go inside - the cafe & then the puppy area! I liked that you couldn't open up the front door if the puppy area door was open! This was a smart concept so there are no puppies running out! We decided to go for some pastries and coffee but there are food options available such as avocado toast, sandwiches, etc. Prices were okay! The coffee was pretty good, pastries were fresh! The aesthetic altogether is super pretty, it's spacious for puppies to play & the AC was blasting which we love on a sunny summer day! The only complaint I have is that the staff was very unwelcoming / rude! It was our first time here so we asked for a menu as to which the barista rolled her eyes & told us to scan :( My uncle is old school & we love a physical hard copy menu which was right near her! This was disappointing but the puppies cheered us up shortly after haha

    What if I don't own a dog? :(( Can I go, enjoy my coffee, and play with other pups?

    You don't need to own a dog to go to the cafe. There are definitely people who go there without dogs and play with other pups. I would definitely be respectful and ask the owners who are there if you can pet their dogs, etc.

    What time do you start serving wine/beer on fridays?

    They serve it all day everyday! Just look in the fridge!

    There are multiple dog-friendly cafes/restaurants around, so how does this cafe differ? Are there already dogs present that you can get such as in a cat Cafe? Thanks!

    Hi there! Boris & Horton is New York's first dog friendly cafe that operates within health department guidelines. While dogs don't live on the premises there will be adoption events on a regular basis. Hope that helps!

The Jeju Green Tangerine Matcha honestly just tastes like a tangerine selter drink but in the best way, because I don't typically enjoy seltzer or carbonated beverages. I really enjoy the flavor and the carbonation isn't too strong, probably because I brought it home to drink. I don't really taste the matcha but I would definitely still order this again. 2. Matcha Einspanner. This is my first time having an Einspanner so I have no idea what I was expecting but this is DELICIOUS. It's so silky and smooth and the TASTE is just right up my alley. The matcha is light but you can still taste it. Absolutely, would drink this all the time if I could. 3. Purple Sweet Potato Latte. This. This. Omg, why haven't I tried this sooner?! The first sip and initial taste, I almost tasted nothing, just milk. And then all of a sudden, there's an explosion of flavor in your mouth. As a sweet potato lover, I was in heaven. I have absolutely no words for this drink, just try it. 100/10 recommend. This is probably my favorite one out of the 3 that I bought. I went around ... 2:45PM on a Friday and most of the seats were taken, if I remember correctly. There were a decent amount of seats and the space was decent. I liked the minimal aesthetic they had for the design of the interior. Not to forget, the staff at the register was absolutely wonderful, she answered all my questions, she's so sweet. I think I'm disappointed that I haven't tried this place sooner. Y'all get out of your comfort zone and try the Purple Sweet Potato Latte !! Or if not, just try this place out.

I ordered an iced matcha einspanner ($6.95) with oat milk ($0.75) and loved that it already comes with a shot of espresso, so it was essentially a dirty matcha einspanner. I tried each layer on its own before mixing everything together and it was all really good. The matcha cream is the right amount of sweet and creamy and you can taste the matcha with just a hint of coffee. Since I'm a coffee fiend I added a bit more espresso when I got back to the hotel and it tasted even better while still keeping the matcha as the dominant flavor. Next time I would ask for less ice since it was freezing that morning, but on a warmer day the ice level would be perfect. Would love to come back to try their other drinks or order the einspanner again as a hot drink.

I've worked in restaurants and bars long enough to understand that staff drinking happens, but this was on another level entirely. I came in with a group of friends and one of the bartenders, Will, was so visibly drunk that it made the entire experience uncomfortable. Slurred speech, wobbling behind the bar, taking orders while chewing food with his mouth open -- it was honestly embarrassing to watch. He looked like he absolutely did not want to be there. At one point, my group had been trying to get his attention for another round for quite a while while he stood around talking with coworkers. We then watched staff take a shot together, and when he finally came over he burped mid-conversation and literally had whatever he had just been drinking dribbling down his neckbeard. That was the moment where the whole thing went from unprofessional to just gross. What made it worse was that it didn't seem isolated to one employee. Throughout the night we watched staff openly taking shots and drinking behind the bar like it was a house party instead of a business. There's a difference between bar culture and complete lack of professionalism, and this crossed that line hard. One of the friends I was with actually frequents the DUMBO location and said that the last time she was there, the same bartender also seemed intoxicated, which makes this feel less like a bad night and more like an ongoing issue. The DUMBO location itself is in an amazing spot, which makes it even more disappointing. But ownership seriously needs to get control of what's going on there before someone gets hurt or the place develops a reputation for having drunk staff on the clock. Unfortunately, the experience was uncomfortable enough that my girlfriends and I won't be coming back. I genuinely hope the employee mentioned gets help if this is a regular thing, because nobody should be working service in that condition.
