Spend a day with your furry best friend at these dog-friendly locations, just minutes from our apartments in Houston Heights.

Barnaby's Cafe

Head out early to Barnaby's Cafe, just 7 minutes away. Sip steaming coffee, while your dog laps up complimentary water. You can also chow down on a savory buffalo scramble, bacon waffle, or one of the many other delicious selections.

Houston Arboretum

After breakfast, take a scenic drive through Memorial Park to the Houston Arboretum. There, thirteen interconnected trails will wind you and your dog around six ponds, a swamp, and a ravine! Take in diverse habitats, while your dog zigzags beside you, following his or her nose after interesting smells. While you walk, enjoy these ROCO-on-the-Go playlists, which complement each ecosystem, from Woodland to Wetland to Savannah. After exploring, turn left onto East Memorial, where several looping trails will extend your nature immersion.

Rudyard's, The Living Room of Montrose

Once you and your dog have worked up an appetite, start making your way home with an eight-minute drive to Rudyard's. Their pizzas include the Rudz Margherita, topped with confit tomatoes, goat cheese, and pesto. For the daring, their Eluis on Oxy burger blends whiskey-bacon jam, pimento cheese, and crunchy peanut butter on top of succulent beef. Whatever you choose, wash it down with quaffs of Tower of Flowers IPA or rich pulls of Stars at Night coffee porter, while your dog scarfs down a grilled doggy burger or chicken slices.

Coco's Crepes, Waffles and Coffee

Swing by Coco Crepes, Waffles & Coffee for a sweet treat. Their tres leches crepe combines tres leches cake and vanilla custard, while their apple pie crepe enfolds cinnamon apples and graham cracker crumbles. There are also many other sweet and savory selections. Enjoy yours with espresso, while your dog licks complimentary puppy whip.
