⛵ Sausalito
Waterfront patios and breezy picnic tables where your pup can watch the sailboats go by.
🌲 Mill Valley
Leafy downtown patios and dog-loving cafés with water bowls and treats.
🛍️ Larkspur
Open-air courtyards and café terraces made for lingering with a dog at your feet.
- Patios only. Health rules keep dogs off indoor dining areas — stick to outdoor tables, sidewalk seating and courtyards.
- Call ahead. Dog policies and patio hours change with the weather and season — a quick check saves a wasted trip.
- Leashed & tucked in. Keep your dog leashed and settled under or beside your table, out of walkways and away from other diners.
- Bring the basics. A mat, water and a chew help a dog relax; many cafés (like Equator) keep water bowls and treats on hand.
- Mind the heat & crowds. Choose shade on warm days and quieter hours for nervous pups.
- Dessert run? Pair it with a pup cup or dog-bakery treat, or walk it off at the dog parks.
A friendly local round-up — menus, patios and pet policies change, so confirm with each spot. Surfaced via Marin Magazine, Only in Mill Valley and BringFido.
Andy can take your pooch on a walk to a dog-friendly patio, or mind them at home while you dine. Just ask when you book.
