Vancouver's First Ever
Welcome to Vancouver's first — and only — registered Dog Café! At Paws n' Play, we've created a cozy, canine-friendly space where pups and their people can unwind, connect, and paws for a treat. With tail-wagging vibes, off-leash zones, and delicious drinks for humans, it's the ulti-mutt hangout. Come for the coffee, stay for the company ... because every good day starts with a wag and a woof.
At Paws n' Play, we've built a dog-friendly café where tails wag and conversations flow. Our open, social layout encourages pups and their people to mingle, relax, and make new friends in a cheerful, welcoming space.
Your dog's safety and comfort come first. Our trained, dog-loving team maintains a clean, secure environment with supervised play areas designed for all sizes and temperaments.
While your dog enjoys the good life, you can too. Our café serves artisanal, in-house coffee, hand-crafted desserts, and local treats made with care and quality ingredients.
☕ And that's the heart of our mission! By combining the relaxation of our cafe with the excitement of our activity groups, we've created a unique space right here in Vancouver. It's not just a venue; it's a dedicated community hub designed to enhance the bond between you and your best friend, ensuring every visit is filled with connection, joy, and tail-wagging fun. Come be a part of the movement!
At Paws n' Play, we believe every pup deserves the very best gear for their adventures. We meticulously curate our selection of toys, accessories, and doggy apparel using only safe, high-quality, and ethically-sourced materials. You won't find anything made with harsh, cheap components—only items full of tail-wagging fun and style.
🛒 Whether you're picking up a durable toy for playtime, a stylish new collar for walks, or a cozy hoodie for chilly days, we treat every item choice with the same love and care you treat your dog. It's not just about what they play with or wear—it's about enhancing their well-being, expressing their personality, and making every day something to bark about.
