Claddagh Coffee, Dog Friendly Cafe


A former colleague, Colleen, and I took her dog and Wild Wendy to Claddagh Coffee, a charming cafe on W. 7th Street in St. Paul, first checking to see if dogs are allowed. For the past six years, this cafe has had no complaints from other customers and even provides doggie treats.  Guess they will see us as regular customers.

Colleen with Brio, her Coton de Tulear, and Wild Wendy, my premier-rescue toy poodle mix who has just been sheared. From now on I hope to do the grooming myself, but I doubt that Colleen will attempt the same with Brio!

When I asked Colleen about her dog's breed, this is her response:
It is a Coton de Tulear, official dog of Madagascar, and thought to have arrived on ships into the port town of Tulear back in the 1700’s. To begin with it was the “royal” dog of Madagascar. Now, as George [another of our friends says,] they are all over the place there.

  4. Now that is a breed I had never heard of before but, it certainly is a cute one. And, of course Wild Wendy is pretty darn cute too.

  8. Dogs want to go with their people and what better place to go. They get treats and you get coffee.
