Shiba Inus with Love is a walk-in only dog café recently opened in Fitzrovia. They serve premium coffee, artisanal teas and delicious pastry. They take pride on their ethically sourced tea and coffee, eco-friendly practices and reducing waste as much as possible.
Their vision is to bring people together to bond over a nice cup or tea of coffee while enjoying wagging tails, silky fur and cuddly doggie body.
Whether you’re a long-time admirer of Shiba Inus or recently fell in love with their cute fox-like face and big personality, or simply you’re a huge dog lover, Shiba Inus with Love is definitely a place to be.
Meet the Puppies

The café currently has four adorable Shiba Inu puppies: Emi, Meatball, Pickle and Minnie. They are all four months old cuddly furballs.
Emi is always full of energy. She is like a little dynamo, constantly zooming around, always ready for fun and play.
Meatball & Pickle are two brothers, always ready for some mischief. These curious adventurers are a bit calmer than Emi but always partner in crime.
Minnie is a true attention and snack seeker. She never says no to treats. Be careful because she will instantly steal your heart with her puppy eyes, and you’ll find yourself giving her all the treats.
How it Works

Shiba Inus with Love has two floors: the ground floor is a nice cosy café with friendly staff. The lower ground floor is the puppy kindergarten where you can meet and play with the four doggies and take photos.
If you wish to visit the puppies, you have to book a time slot at the till. One time slot is 20 minutes long.
Go downstairs to show your ticket. Wash your hands and place your coat and bag in a free locker provided. You also have to take off your shoes before entering the puppy area.

After an introduction and listening to the house rules, you’re free to enjoy your time with the cuddly puppies. They have plenty of toys to play with and the instructor often allow visitors to give some snacks to the dogs.
The number of visitors allowed with the dogs at a time are very limited. That’s to make sure the puppies don’t get overwhelmed, and it also allows visitors to really spend quality time with the dogs.
If you love delicious food and drink, are a huge dog lover and would love to make new friends, Shiba Inus with Love is your rare chance to make new friends and spend quality time with this beloved Japanese breed.
