What a truly lovely dog-friendly cafe to visit! Excellent human food and dog treat menus, reasonably priced. Friendly, attentive service and food delicious, served perfectly cooked. I couldn't manage a cake on this visit but they looked fabulous! We will be back next time we're on a long dog walk to Churchtown. My Lab loved his Puppiccino and biscuits

I adore Penny's Dog Café! This was my third visit with my pup. I brought my little furry friend for his 14th birthday to the cafe for some lunch and a birthday treat for him. The staff were so friendly and kept giving my dog some fuss and attention when they walked past. As it was his birthday they gave him a special birthday pup cup and a birthday candle in his dog biscuit 'cake'. It was very cute and made the day feel special. The food that my partner and I ate was absolutely delicious too. We both had a gluten free special, it was a pesto, chicken and cheese toastie on gluten free bread. Absolutely delicious, proper comfort food. There was also two gluten free cake selections on offer too, a chocolate brownie and a jammy wheel crispy cake. Absolutely delicious. A lovely experience made special by the truly wonderful staff members!

Penny's House is a lovely little gem of a place. It was our first time visiting a dog cafe and as it was our little girls 16th birthday, we decided to spoil her. We usually go to places which are dog friendly, however it was lovely to be in a place that had a doggie menu. We ordered the charcuterie board for her and it come with a little candle in it, which was so thoughtful and sweet, she absolutely loved it. We also had a bite to eat and the food/cakes were gorgeous. We will definitely be back in the future.

Our favourite doggy cafe. Friendly service, nice selection of dog and human treats. Unfortunately, there is no discount for golden retriever owners.

Absolutely amazing café. We invaded with 20 chihuahuas and they handled it like true pros. 10/10 coffee, cake and food. Dog menu is well thought out and they love it.

Dog friendly to the Max! Lovely cafe in the heart of Churchtown with very friendly staff. The only negative was the weak decaf coffee, 3 shots and still quite weak, a shame as there's such great coffee out there.
