The business
Dog and Scone is North East England’s first dog café - a café with a number of resident canines for visitors to play with. Owners Shi Shi and Rainbow Noi were inspired to open the cafe June 2017 when the pair were students, and found it difficult to rent a house that allowed pets. Thinking of a job in which their dogs could come to work with them, and realising others who can’t keep pets would like a place to play with pooches, the idea of the café was born.
An Opayo and Elavon customer since July 2020, the café is located in Newcastle, and bookings to visit are made online and require a small deposit.
