What is a Dog Café?
The animal café concept began about twenty years ago in Southeast Asia and has now spread around the world. Animal cafés offer everything an ordinary coffee shop would, but with the added extra of animals to play with. Customers can pet, cuddle, take photos and enjoy the animals. The idea spread to Edinburgh in 2015, with the arrival Maison De Moggy, Edinburgh’s first cat café. It has been extremely popular, and now Chihuahua Café aims to bring man’s best friend to the public in the same way.
‘Such an amazing cafe! Staff are super lovely and obviously care greatly for their adorable doggies. We absolutely adored our time here, would 100% go back’

Visit The First Dog Café in Edinburgh
The Chihuahua Café is the first dog café in Edinburgh and Scotland. It can be found on Frederick Street in the New Town, just off Princes Street. That’s only a 15-minute walk from us at Parliament House Hotel. The café has a wee pack of Chihuahuas, all owned and cared for by the proprietors. Of course, they all have their own names and personalities. They are a very friendly breed and they love a cuddle. So, you can grab a coffee and a cake and enjoy getting to know them.
The café implements a strict dog-care policy. The Chihuahuas receive training, have routine, structure and discipline, and are loved and well-cared for. To ensure it doesn’t get too crowded for the pups, you must book a slot online before making a visit. Please note, Chihuahua Café is not suitable for children under 5.
‘My partner and I booked here after walking past it by chance when visiting Edinburgh. I love chihuahuas and have two of my own so thought it would be perfect! The staff were lovely and attentive and the coffee was great too. I would definitely recommend it to others!’
