Howling Dog Cafe - Happy customer - Cafes Near Me - Lakeport, California

This place hasn't changed a bit since the last time I was here, probably 10 years ago. They serve breakfast and lunch only, but stop serving breakfast at 11 am, so if you come in at noon don't think about getting biscuits and gravy! The have hot dogs, polish sausage, and hot links with a condiment bar that rocks! Lots of different mustards and hot sauces alongside kraut, relish, onions, etc. burgers and sandwiches are also available; but don't try to order fries... you can get salads or chips for your sides. The staff are friendly and get your food to you quickly. The decor is right on target for the theme - howling dog! Overall, it's worth a try, I'll probably be back for another visit within the next decade! read more

What a wonderful and welcoming environment! On our way home we were looking for somewhere we could have a good breakfast and not have to leave our pup in the car (expecting to look for outdoor seating) when I found Howling Dog Cafe. The owner brought my pup a "treat" it was bacon and whipped cream he devoured it lol. The food and service were excellent. read more

Great Food, Great Service, and Awesome Service!! Highly Recommend! Check out Adam and his team in action.. read more

Cute little café, nestled between other buildings by the only stop light in Lakeport. Dog friendly, with dog decor throughout the establishment. This is a breakfast, lunch place who also have delicious smoothies (I recommend the Pineapple smoothie with orange juice). The prices are far. The service maybe a bit slow, but that's only because this place is popular. They do get busy, so calling in an order is strongly suggested if on a time crunch. read more

Off the main road, not very easy to remember. Okay food. Good energy vibe. Nice photos of dogs. Decent for something to grab to eat for breakfast or during a work break. read more

Stopped in for an early breakfast recently one morning, this cool eatery has walk up counter service and a friendly staff. Place your order, pay, take a number, they bring you your food when its ready. A casual dog friendly cafe, its obvious of the love for canines this establishment has, as the walls are literally covered with images of dogs from locals and all over the place. Ordered a great cup of java, seriously a great cup of coffee. Along with a full order of buscuits and gravy and a couple over medium eggs. Served on paper plates and with plastic wear. Seems a bit out of touch with the cost of single service over reuseable tablewear in a restaurant but whatever? The eggs were cooked to order and good, the biscuits also good sized, texture and portion - the gravy however was very runny and weak. It was okay but nothing special and again the gravy was really weak. There may be better options? It may have been an off morning but I can only go by what was presented and served. As such an average breakfast at best. The coffee was the best part of it. 3 Stars it worked for the morning and my little dog was content 00913 read more

Adam, the new owner is absolutely fabulous! He was so accommodating for our last minute work meeting sandwich order for a larger group. He was so kind and was appreciative for our business. Adam's joyful personality is contagious and makes the Howling Dog Cafe a happy place to go enjoy. read more

The food was delicious and service great and fast. Awesome ambiance too! Love the whole experience

Um, excuse me. This place made my day. I LOVED that they had a half order of biscuits and gravy. Sometimes a girl needs her fix and a full order is way too much. Also, look at this puppcino. I mean, come on. The best one I've ever seen. Home away from home. read more

Visited this cute place for the 2nd time today. First time I visited with my fiancé we both had a chili cheese dog, the chili was fantastic! Mid-meal I noticed they had a soup of the day and said something about it to my fiancé. 5 minutes later the owner brought me a sample of the soup saying, "I over heard you, here's a sample, let me know what you think." It was delicious! Great customer service. Today my fiancé got a cheeseburger. The juices were dripping out and it was so delicious. I had the broccoli cheddar soup (A-maxing) and grilled cheese. The grilled cheese was basic and delicious (my tummy was not happy today so I chose the grilled cheese for that reason). So happy with Howling Dog. We will be back. read more

Such a cute place. Love the theme. Employees were very attentive and friendly. Very clean. Have a great variety of drinks and food. Good vegetarian options also. Nice area to sit inside or out. Best part for me was them having very cute pupuchinos for my fur baby. read more

"We are not the mask police, neither are you" by the resister. Yet right on their entrance says "please wear a mask" A mask won't hurt so why not just wear one? To the reviews before this, no they are NOT compliant. 3 employees, not a single mask. We got 2 sandwiches for $30, no drinks. Sandwiches & the Mac salad were bland and boring. I've been to a lot of places and have never been so compelled to write a 1 star review. This place is not worth it. Go to Jimmy's Deli. read more

Howling Dog Cafe - Breakfast bagel with ham pepper jack cheese eggs sausage perfectly cooked - Cafes Near Me - Lakeport, California

So disappointed! The last two times I have ordered the Chicago Dog were terrible! You might as well call them a relish dog. There was so much relish, that was all you tasted and it was dripping out in clumps out of the bun. Hot dog was cold too. Howling Dog owner, please talk to your staff about food prep. I'd like to return. You've also been out of items (chips) and drink choices lately. read more

I love this place. The egg and bacon sandwich is great. She uses only the best, extra thick bacon with little fat. For lunch try their Power Salad loaded quinoa, chicken, pesto, fresh Star cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, almonds and feta. She uses nothing but quality ingredients. The staff is alway nice and very accommodating read more

Awesome! A small taste of Freedom from masks and other stuff here along with the giant taste of their Howling Dog! Chili over a hot link can't be beat. Add some red onions, cheese and a jalapeño or two and it's plain happening! All of the gals were quick, efficient and had a smile on their face! It's a welcome change to see a smile these days. Thank you Howling Dog for the memories. read more

What a wonderful hidden gem. Great service. Great food. Hefty portions. And reasonably priced. My youngest son raved about the pancakes. Says it was the best ever. Oldest son couldn't stop eating the avocado toast. Biscuits and gravy excellent. Plenty of menu options. Some unique items in the menu. We will definitely be coming back. Oh and the decor is fun too. Lots of dog pictures all over the place. My kids liked that a lot. read more

The best sandwiches and hotdogs that my hubby and I have EVER eaten!! Utterly charming atmosphere; the clever pup theme, featuring local pets, creates a wonderful (and rare) sense of "community". Delightful, friendly staff. And everything is immaculate. We can't WAIT to return to Lake County to visit this place again! read more

Definitely dog friendly. Cute signs and other decor all about dogs. Food was delicious. I had a very large pastrami sandwich with 1 cup of macaroni salad. It was delicious. I'm definitely going back for more. I'll bring my brother and his dog with me the next time he visits us in town. read more

Working up throughout northern California during coronavirus shutdown. Met up with my crews at the morning tail board, got things worked out and left trying to find some eggs at 0800 hrs. I came into town late the night before for this meeting and my first time in Lakeport. An internet search for breakfast and that's how I found Howling Dog Cafe, with a name like this, I had to check it out. With everything shutdown or limited to take-out only, it was worth looking for it. Easy to find and the owner (Denise I believe) whipped me up a breakfast sandwich and made interesting conversation while I creamed and sweetened my coffee traveler. I'll be returning to Lakeport a couple times a month for work and meals at Howling Dog Cafe. Check it out if your in that area! read more

I took my grandson on vacation to Clear Lake, from Southern California in June. We drove around looking for restaurants and came across the Howling Dog. I would have passed it up if it had not been for the sign on the street. So we drive behind the first row of business's and found the restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised. The staff was very friendly. The food was good, and we LOVED all the photos of the dogs on the walls. Cute place to visit and eat if you are in the area. I would definitely return if I am ever in Clear Lake or Lakeport again. read more

I noticed this place on Yelp as I'm visiting from out of town. It had great reviews so why not, right? Off we go; 11:04am- walked in and grabbed a menu. 11:05am- went to cashier to request the eggs and sausage plate, and she stated they stop serving breakfast at 11am...seriously? I was 5 minutes past....what no grace period, eggs won't cook past 11? Whatever. So I reluctantly ordered a Turkey Club Sandwich. 11:15am- received the sandwich that looked pretty good, but ended up tasting no so good and extremely dry. 11:19am- after just 4 bites and overheating the girl who works there talking to someone else dropping "F" Bombs and "S" Bombs throughout her conversation (loud enough for me to hear from the other room....that's pretty tacky, I simply threw the rest of the sandwich away and walked out miserable. I will not be returning here. read more

I had been a frequent customer until covid hit. Went in a few times after thinking surely the owner would enforce wearing masks by her, her staff and customers. NOPE! I asked the owner and she said covid is a big lie. They have been asked by the city to enforce masks but she still refuses. PS she also loves to let her dog run free through the Hartley Cemetery and doesn't pick up after it. Not cool. I'm not going back.... Ever! read more

I come to Lakeport for work on occasion. I've been here twice now and have ordered the same thing both times tri tip wrap and mixed berry smoothie. Very consistent , delicious, and fast. Great place for lunch. read more

"We are not the mask police and neither are you", reads a sign next to the register. True to form, the employee working the register was wearing her mask dangling off one ear. Come here if you want to get COVID along with your coffee, I guess. read more

I absolutely love coming here! Staff is awesome and food is always great. No complaints. Definitely recommend.

Our local spot for breakfast. BAT bagel is my go to, biscuits and gravy is good, kiddo loves the pancakes.

We went there twice for our small get away anniversary trip (out of towners). Loved the environment and the sandwiches! Breakfast wasn't the best but it wasn't bad either. Honestly though should've gotten a hot dog. Everyone was getting hot dogs. Next time! read more

Super clean, really cute atmosphere. Friendly staff. Not a ton of options if you have food sensitivities but if I could eat gluten or dairy I would definitely take advantage of their delicious looking menu options. read more

I can't really comment on the food. The menu looked good, but I walked in and no one was wearing a mask: not the person taking the orders, the customers, or the person preparing the food. I ended up walking out. I was disappointed. read more

Adorable cafe with fun art work of dogs. Great music selection playing in the background. Cool indoor with AC or outdoor seating next to a beautiful garden display. Great ambience and friendly staff. We got the BAT bagel and breakfast sandwich with eggs and bacon. One of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had. I tried the BAT bagel (bacon, avocado, tomato) and that was great as well. Coffee was delicious too. We will be back. read more
