Xochi the Dog, Cafe

Xochi the Dog, Cafe is a dog-friendly community-oriented cafe in the Bella Vista neighborhood of Oakland that’s all about great coffee and treats for both humans and their furry friends. We believe in using only the freshest, locally sourced ingredients in everything we make, and we think it shows in the taste.

​At our cafe, dogs are always welcome! We have a spacious outdoor area where you can relax with your pup and enjoy a cup of coffee or a snack together.

​But we’re more than just a cafe. We’re a community of coffee lovers, foodies, and friends. Whether you’re here to catch up with old friends or meet new ones, we’re always happy to see you.

​So come on in, bring your dog, grab a cup of coffee, and stay awhile. We can’t wait to get to know you both!
