If your furry companions are basically your children, therapists, roommates, plus-ones, and soulmates rolled into one—hi, welcome. You’re probably all too familiar with the struggle of wanting to step out for a coffee or brunch, only to be met with that guilt-inducing stare from your pet. You know the one: big eyes, tilted head, tail slowly dropping in dramatic betrayal. But don’t worry—we’ve got you.
Luckily, Mumbai has steadily begun embracing its four-legged citizens with open arms—and open cafés. From cosy corners where your furbabies practically have their own fan clubs, to similar spots offering water bowls, puppuccinos, and the occasional special treat, the city is finally catching up to the fact that weekends are better spent with your furball by your side.
Whether you’re the kind of pet parent who loves long, lazy breakfasts with your pup curled at your feet, someone who enjoys typing away on your laptop with your cat secretly judging you from across the table, or the type who wants to introduce your dog to every other dog in the café, there’s a spot here for every vibe. These spaces aren’t just pet-friendly; they’re genuinely pet-welcoming. They understand that sometimes the best company to brunch with is the one who doesn’t talk back…but does demand a bite of your croissant.
So, if you’re planning a date with your fur-faced BFF, leash them up, pack their favourite treat, and head out—because these Mumbai cafés are rolling out the red carpet for both of you!
Cat Cafe Studio
Cat lovers, unite, because you’re about to be acquainted with a place that might just change your lives!
This little spot in the bylanes of Versova is a haven for cat lovers. It’s a cat-sitting, cat-adoption, cat-care, and cat-café facility, all in one. If you’re looking to work in the company of some of the cutest, most playful beings in the world, this one’s just the right fit for you. The café is home to many, many rescues all up for adoption, offering you the ability to spend some time in their company, petting, scratching, working, and feeding away. They also have a lovely little café menu if you’re looking to sip and nibble on something while you pet these babies!

Café Pefe
Café Pefe is exactly the kind of place that gets what it means to hang out with your dog. It’s a cosy, welcoming little café where four-legged friends are as much part of the vibe as are cappuccinos. You can take your furbabies, or even meet the café’s in-house rescues if you’re going alone! And what’s better than a sweet treat + lots and lots of fur?
On the menu, you get all the usual café comforts: good coffee, decent breakfasts or brunch-style eats, and a relaxed vibe that makes it ideal for a slow weekend hangout. What’s nice about this spot is its easy-going, laid-back vibe. It’s not a fancy spot made for photos, but a sweet little corner dedicated to you and your pups. So if you’re building a list of spots in Bombay to take your fur-faced BFF for a good time, Café Pefe should definitely be on that list.

Leaping Windows
Leaping Windows sits tucked away in Versova, in a bookstore-cum-café setup that’s perfect for comic book lovers, especially. On the ground floors, you’ll find cosy seating and a menu of comfort food; downstairs is a full basement library/comic-book archive, perfect for readers who want to pair comics or graphic novels with coffee.
For pet owners, the café is particularly welcoming, of course: the outdoor section is pet-friendly, meaning you can bring along your dog (or other leashed pets) and enjoy brunch, coffee or a relaxed meal without worrying about cramped indoor space. The menu is broad and unfussy—pizzas, burgers, comfort-style mains, waffles, pancakes, shakes and simple café fare. Nutella pancakes, the juicy burgers (a personal fav) and their comic-themed “bite-size” menu items have a loyal following. It’s the kind of place where you don’t need to dress up: just grab a coffee or a hearty meal, keep your pet nearby, and settle in.
Good for bookworms, pet-parents, friends catching up, or a solo me-time & coffee kind of visit, Leaping Windows is a fun, versatile hangout spot that fits almost every occasion (with your pet as plus one, of course).

Timings: Monday to Sunday (12 pm–12:30 am)

Doolally Taproom
Doolally Taproom is one of the best taprooms in all of the city (their mango cider is the best beer I’ve ever tasted), and its charm lies in its roomy, welcoming vibe—it’s chill, full of board games, good comfort food, and lots of furries. With multiple taprooms across the city in Andheri, Khar, and Thane, it’s become a go-to especially for the Gen Z, for the times you don’t know what the plan is but just wish to go somewhere.
The place, of course, doubles as a great spot for pet owners: Doolally is widely known as one of Mumbai’s most pet-friendly taprooms—you’ll often see dogs (and sometimes other pets) chilling alongside their humans, and the atmosphere is forgiving toward pet owners so long as you’re considerate. As for what you’re really here for—the beer and the food—Doolally delivers. Their taps pour a variety of craft beers and ciders: from Belgian-style wheat beers and stouts to mango cider and apple cider beers. The menu backs it up with hearty, share-friendly plates: think house fries served with seven different kinds of dips, delish pita with hummus, pizzas or more substantial mains like ghee-roast dishes—great to pair with a cold pint.
One of the most appealing things about Doolally is the laid-back “come as you are” energy. Chill lighting, casual tables, friendly staff, games or a relaxed chat with friends. Whether you want a quick beer after work, a slow brunch with pets included, or a weekend hangout with friends, Doolally hits that sweet spot of being casual, welcoming, and reliably fun.
Address: Multilink House, 601, Rd No. 3, next to Khar Station, Khar, Ram Krishna Nagar, Khar West, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400052

Subko
Only thing better than a café that’s pet-loving and pet-friendly? A café that brews its own coffee and is one of the best in town for doing it too!
Beyond just being pet-okay, Subko brings serious coffee and café offerings to the table (with pastries, baked goods, sweets, and well-roasted coffee). Their brew-house vibe, combined with friendly service and a laid-back setup, makes it a favourite for those who want to relax over good coffee—with a companion curled up under the table. Their coffee has got serious range, and so do their sweet treats, so it’s perfect if you’re visiting for just working your day away as well.
The mood at all Subkos across the city is easygoing—ideal for a slow Saturday brunch, a long chat with your dog beside you, or a chill evening coffee after a walk. If you want a casual café outing in Mumbai that treats both you and your furry best friend as part of the plan, Subko is one of the most dependable bets!
