I personally don’t own a dog but I enjoyed working or reading at boris every single time. It’s so calming and meditative to sit here for a hour on a Friday afternoon. Be nice to all the dogs here! Love the community!

Boris and Horton is an amazing addition to the neighborhood! it is clean, friendly, and inviting. It is also such a nice way to get your dog some playtime when the weather outside is poor. Coming here has also helped socialize my dog a lot- he never really wanted to go to the dog park or play with other dogs, but I found that taking him here got him comfortable with other dogs and now not only does he love going but he drags me to the dog park every chance he gets. I feel so lucky to have this place for him They also have a robust menu for food and drinks- for humans and dogs!

Boris & Horton is an absolute gift to our day every time we visit—a true gem and an easy favorite. Since opening in Williamsburg, the Eloise latte and a treat for my pup have become staples of our little morning routine. The staff’s warm welcome and genuine kindness contribute to a community that is inclusive and filled with pure joy. Thoughtful and creative, Boris & Horton is truly something special. Grateful for the friends and fun memories made over workdays spent here.

Wonderful addition to the neighborhood. The team there are lovely and welcoming, They have a range of dog treats and items but also have a large menu for humans. They'll soon have wine and beer in evenings as well as events like trivia, bingo, etc. Check it out, even if you don't have a dog.

This is my favorite coffee shop in Williamsburg. There are some nice cafes with great coffee but Boris & Horton has it all. Solid coffee and drinks, a lot of space and natural light, and really cute dogs. Staff are always very nice and respectful to pet owners, and somehow all the dogs are playful and well behaved. I would highly recommend coming here as a pet or non-pet owner.

Where has this place been??? The perfect addition to our neighborhood, which is so dog friendly to begin with. The facility: there’s plenty of spots for outside seating. BUT. The real gem is being indoors. You walk into the entrance that separates the place into two sections: small cafe area AND the seating/play area for dogs/owners. This entrance serves as a safety net for dogs: if the front door is open, you cannot open the door to the seating area. And vice versa. It’s a great feature. My dog LOVES playing here. He’s able to run around and play to his hearts content. And it’s so nice to have a neighborhood place to be able to take him for a treat. He loves the bacon flavor pup ice cream, and I love the matcha lemonade they make here. I can’t wait to bring friends here to play again.
