August isn’t just another month at Dogtown Coffee — it’s National Dog Month, and we’re celebrating in true Santa Monica style! Whether you’re a local who stops by daily or a visitor here for the beach vibes, our doors (and hearts) are always open for you and your four-legged best friend.
From dog-friendly perks to nearby pup-approved adventures, here’s your guide to making the most of this tail-wagging month.
1. Bring Your Pup for a Coffee Date
We believe every coffee outing is better when shared — and that includes your dog!
Our outdoor seating is perfect for catching those Santa Monica beach breezes while sipping your favorite coffee Santa Monica locals rave about. With plenty of space for your pup to lounge, you can enjoy your iced latte, cold brew, or best coffee Santa Monica options while your furry friend relaxes right beside you.
2. Try Our Dog-Friendly Perks
At Dogtown Coffee, it’s not just about your order — we’ve got a little something for your pup too.
- Free Pup Cups: A creamy, pup-safe treat to make your dog feel special.
- Water Stations: Fresh water bowls ready to keep your buddy hydrated after a beach stroll.
- The Dogs of DTC Wall: Snap a pic of your pup and join our ever-growing wall of local and visiting canine celebrities!
3. Make It a Brunch Date
You don’t have to choose between walking the dog and enjoying a great meal — you can do both here.
Our breakfast Santa Monica favorites are perfect for pairing with an outdoor sit-down:
- Avocado Toast – a local favorite to go with your cold brew.
- Breakfast Burritos – packed with flavor and perfect for fueling up before a walk to the pier.
- Acai Bowls – refreshing, colorful, and Instagram-worthy alongside your pup.
Whether you call it brunch Santa Monica style or just a late breakfast, we’ve got options that keep summer mornings light and happy.
4. Explore Nearby Dog-Friendly Spots
After your coffee, you and your pup are just steps away from some of the best dog-friendly adventures in the city:
- Ocean Park Beach: A short stroll from Dogtown Coffee, great for leashed walks and salty air.
- Tongva Park: A scenic green space where your pup can enjoy new smells and sights.
- Santa Monica Pier: While dogs can’t go on rides, they’ll love the walk and the people-watching.
Pro tip: Head to the pier early to beat the crowds, then grab a coffee Santa Monica locals love on your way back.
5. Share the Love on Social Media

Celebrate All Month Long
National Dog Month is a reminder that our pups deserve a little extra love — and at Dogtown Coffee, we make sure they get it. So bring your dog, sip the best coffee Santa Monica has to offer, and soak in the surf-skate spirit that makes this place more than just a café — it’s a community.
