Barista preparing coffee in a bright cafe

Our story

Two friends, two dogs, one long table.

How Kay & Fey began

Kay and Fey met in a share-house kitchen, brewing too much coffee for two people and never quite finishing a conversation. Weekends filled with borrowed dogs, extra mugs, and neighbours who stayed longer than they meant to.

The cafe is that kitchen, grown up. We wanted a light room where pets are expected, not squeezed onto the sidewalk. Where a first date, a reunion, and a quiet solo hour can all happen at the same marble counter.

The names on the door belong to both the humans and the rescue dogs who still think they run the place. If you visit on a Thursday, you will probably meet at least one of them.

The people (and pets) you might meet

A pet-first, people-kind house.

Leashed dogs are welcome in the dining room. Cats in carriers can settle in our quiet nook. We keep a treat jar by the till, bowls of water on the floor, and a little patience for the zoomies.

If you are coming with a larger group, or with a nervous companion, send a note first. We will save you a corner that feels like home.
