Boris & Horton

Love this place! I don’t even have a dog, but love it here. The food is delish, iced coffee amazing, and the pups are the cutest to watch. Will be back here often.

Best dog friendly spot in the city! As a dog "uncle" i love being able to pop in for a little doggie time, stay cool or warm up, and have some tasty treats. Service and staff is friendly, efficient, and easy. Dogs can be off leash in half the area, and there's lots of regulars. I really liked the iced teas, cocktail options, and the pesto mozzarella was delicious! Looking forward to my next visit!

Boris & Horton – A Dog-Friendly Café Experience in NYC I recently visited Boris & Horton in the East Village with my daughter and our Yorkiepoo, Missy. I love the idea of a café where you can bring your dog and enjoy a meal in a fun, pet-friendly atmosphere—it’s such a unique experience in the city. I had the chicken patty with black rice and lamb with vegetables, along with a refreshing apple juice. My daughter ordered a bowl with chicken, and she really liked it. We also treated Missy to a dog-friendly cupcake, which was a sweet touch. The space was clean and had a relaxed, community feel. You can tell it's a place made for dog lovers. Now, while I appreciated the freedom for dogs to roam, that part came with some challenges. A few larger dogs walked up to our table while we were eating and tried to get at our food. Unfortunately, not all owners were mindful of their pets, which made things a bit uncomfortable. Missy, who isn’t used to being around a lot of dogs, stayed quietly in her bag next to me the whole time. Overall, I’d definitely visit again—just maybe during a quieter time of day. If you have a social dog and want a chill place to grab a bite, Boris & Horton is a great option. I just wish more dog owners would keep an eye on their pups so everyone can enjoy their meals in peace.

They have great hospitality and my almondmilk cappuccino was great. It's a good working environment if you don't mind some music (on low volume). I also loved watching the dogs in the other room.

We finally checked out the reopening of Boris & Horton. There’s two separate rooms and entrances, one for humans and one for dogs. I liked how they have a controlled door where you can enter one at a time for the safety of dogs. When we entered, tbh, it was a bit chaotic. It was filled with both people and dogs, but more people than dogs. It was super loud in there and not a lot of space for dogs to roam around. There were a couple of people without dogs dining and felt a bit uncomfortable because my pup likes to jump up on the table and smell/eat the food, so I felt a bit uneasy because I didn’t want my pup to disturb them. There was also a big group that was celebrating a birthday, which was not the dog’s birthday but the owner’s (I just don’t think it’s the right place to have one, tbh). However, I did really enjoy the cold brew and cheese danish, but dogs aren’t allowed in the other room where you have to pick up the order. I felt uncomfortable leaving my pup alone in the other room, so you’ll want to have someone else with you at the time to watch your dog. My pup loved eating the pup cake, which they had a variety of along with pupper cups. On the other hand, it was cool to see my pup’s picture being selected to be hung on the bathroom wall. We’ll definitely be back, but at a time when it’s not too busy.

Great service. Went to a Lady & the tramp event and was well taken care of with my pup. The setup was lovely. Along with the pup menu, dog menu and table setups. My pup loved the squash and meatballs. Tiramisu was great as well. Loved the photo op. Always liked coming here. They've always been good to my pup and very accommodating.

Recently under a new ownership and have a lot of new offerings. Got a small dog and it's fun to bring him over and hangout here to get some drinks and early cocktails. They also get the new yappy hours with 2 dollars off cocktail and brunch specials like croissant french toast.

Heaven on earth! Devocion coffee, extensive food menu, and pups all around. It’s a $5 experience fee for “groups” - so solo, pair, party of 6 will all pay the same. Service is slightly slow, but the dogs make up for it. Coffee was a bit watery (needed less milk, more coffee), but the dogs make up for it. Wifi was good. Plenty of seating. Great place to work!! Will say, the food was pretty greesy / oily. Makes me nervous to fully explore the food menu… (we ordered chicken farro bowl)
