Cucina Morini and Osteria Morini

Dacha
Shaw
This bustling beer garden in Shaw encourages guests to bring dogs any time of day, and you can get them a snack while you hang. At brunch—which doubles as happy hour—buy them a puppuccino and a dog treat for $3 each, or a non-alcoholic canned IPA designed for dogs for $6 (spoiler alert: it’s broth).
Dog Daze Social Club
Logan Circle
Logan Circle’s urban dog park/bar/pizza spot has teamed up with Cafe Unido for a short breakfast menu. Grab a spot in the doodle-crammed dog run and order seasonal lattes, açaà bowls and smoothies, a few pastries and breakfast sandwiches, and bloody Marys.

This string of Cuban cafes has plenty of locations with pup-friendly patios. It serves up coffee drinks, smoothies, and breakfast bowls for you, and Apollo cookies—made from guava and peanut butter—for your dog.
Art and Soul
Capitol Hill
Art and Soul’s patio has long been known as a place where dog owners can socialize with their pets for breakfast, brunch, lunch, high tea, and dinner. Take in a view of the Capitol dome while noshing on blueberry pancakes, short rib hash, and deviled eggs.
Chef Geoff’s
Wesley Heights and West End
Long-running American restaurant Chef Geoff’s, which has locations in the West End and near American University, offers a whole menu just for dogs, who are welcome on their patios.

Bear Branch Tavern
ViennaÂ
At Vienna’s comfy, family-friendly Bear Branch Tavern, the wraparound porch is open to dogs at brunch. The menu features classic brunch fare like shrimp and grits, waffles, and shakshuka.
