I love supporting small businesses—especially when I’m back in my hometown. With that being said… I highly recommend you take a few more steps and support Lucy’s Snackbar instead.
After a nice walk on the bayfront, my parents and I were looking for a coffee and happened across this place. I had my friendly, well-mannered, well-trained, leashed support/service dog with me, fully planning to order, pay, and sit outside.
Unfortunately, after taking just a few steps inside—before I even had the chance to read a single word on the menu, and without so much as a polite “good morning”—I was approached by an employee who rudely confronted me with: “You can’t be inside here with a dog. You have to go outside.”
In that moment, I was reminded that I was back in good ol’ Texas… no longer in dog-friendly Atlanta. When I attempted to explain that he is indeed a support/service animal and that I even had signed documentation pulled up on my phone from my physician, I was interrupted with, “Where’s his service-animal harness?”
MA’AM. If that’s all it would’ve taken to satisfy your small mind, I could’ve gotten one for $9.99 on Amazon. I figured actual documentation would do better.
We weren’t even given the chance to quickly order and enjoy our coffee outside as planned.
So we left and walked into Lucy’s Snackbar, where they had a dog bowl with fresh water, lots of smiles, pets for my dog, and free treats. The environment was infinitely more inviting, the staff was friendly, and it was exactly the kind of establishment Corpus needs.
