"New Orleans’s first dog cafe opened at 4826 Magazine Street in Uptown under owner Barrett Cooper (who previously operated the atmospheric Double Dealer lounge at the Orpheum). The theme is ever-present: a bone-shaped door handle, a menu of dog treats, and hilarious AI-generated dog art hung at pooch level. There is also a human menu with a deep coffee program and doggy‑named bites like the Corgi Cobb salad and the Catahoula toast topped with blueberry compote, lemon ricotta, and mint. The dog- and family-friendly spot includes a shaded side patio and plans for an off-leash play area in the near future." - Beth D’Addono
