This Cafe In Queens Is Every Dog and Coffee Lover’s Dream
A chocolate Chihuahua, leading a leash-holding woman, prances into Chateau le Woof.
Rocky, for that is his name, is a regular. He’s coming to meet his girlfriend, Lola, who’s sitting pretty in a sweet sweater on the sofa.
In puppy love, they romp around and run in circles while everyone coos and oohs at their coy cuteness.
Soon, they are joined by a parade of pooches who have come to the chic countertop café for some doggie down time.
Chateau le Woof is designed to go to the dogs (and the select humans they deign to invite to their five-woof watering hole).
The canine clientele allows its people to stop in for Parmesan pound cake and macchiato cortados as long as they bring home doggie bags — pet food and treats.
When the café closes, the bowwows have their playtime and parties.
Natassa, a longtime dog owner, came up with the idea when she was out walking King, her 13-year-old pitbull rescue.

Best idea ever
Absolutely the best idea ever. CLW has a dog play side with open pen for off leash play, dog food, gear, treats, toys, and a grooming salon to the left. On the right, a dog friendly cafe that is open air when weather appropriate. It faces the entrance to Socrates Sculpture Park, so it’s perfect to combine with a walk through the park. The coffee is great, and they have a great selection of bakery items for humans and dogs. Wilson has absolutely INHALED every treat that I’ve ever gotten there, and they’re always cheeky. The cafe is work friendly, you can see into the dog play side, and they have beer, wine, and small snacks. Super cute place and a must if you’re in Astoria.
