Dog‑Love Meets Coffee in NYC
Boris & Horton isn’t just a whimsical name – it’s a whole new experience for pet lovers in New York. The first ever dog‑friendly café in the city was founded by Coppy Holzman and Logan Mikhly along with their four‑legged companions. “We’re obsessed with both dogs and coffee,” says Logan, “and we knew New Yorkers had a tough time finding a spot where their pups could join the coffee rush without being left at home or at the curb.”
- A walk‑up window lets you grab your brew and toss it straight into the pup zone.
- Separate dining areas keep food and furry friends out of each other’s spot, as required by the Department of Health.
- Three distinct sections cater to every mood: the point‑of‑sale window, a human‑only café, and an indoor lounge for dogs and owners.
“A dog café is a whole different thing you see in Japan – where you’re allowed to sit on the floor with the dogs around you. In our case, it’s purely dog‑friendly,” explains Logan. “We want a place where you can sip coffee while your pooch happily lounges with you. And because we’re rescue‑friendly, we’ll host adoption events on weekends. If you’re looking to adopt, you’ll find yourself a furry best friend right here.”
What’s on the Menu
- Humans: homemade toast, City of Saints coffee, Balthazar and Bien Cuit pastries, and Murray’s cheese plates.
- Dogs: a selection of tasty treats to keep tails wagging.
So whether you’re a seasoned dog‑owner or just craving a meetup with a future furry companion, Boris & Horton offers a cozy corner that makes coffee and canine care side‑by‑side a daily delight.
