Best for
dog owners seeking a cosy work-friendly cafe where pets interact freely with others.

Core details are sourced from this business's Google Business Profile (checked 2026-09-29).

What do recent reviews say?

Flapdoodle draws regulars with its cozy, tucked-away setting, solid coffee (Dirty Latte and Pistachio Latte named), and burnt cheesecake. Staff are consistently warm, and the space suits laptop work with available power outlets. Dogs roam and play with others, which delights most owners who visit weekly.

The critical issue: the owner's Corgi has bitten at least one visiting dog (a Pomeranian, requiring vet treatment) despite earlier complaints about its behaviour being documented in reviews. While the owner paid the vet bill, the underlying safety concern for visiting pets remains unresolved and has not been publicly addressed since the incident two weeks ago.

Praised for
  • cozy, relaxed atmosphere
  • good coffee and food quality
  • friendly, attentive staff
  • dogs allowed to socialise freely
  • on-site parking
  • suitable for remote work with plugs
Watch-outs
  • owner's dog has bitten visiting pets; prior concerns reportedly raised but not addressed

Most visits deliver a warm, relaxing afternoon with friendly staff and the chance to play with rescue dogs, often Shiba Inus or huskies. Food quality and generosity stand out across reviews, from grilled chicken chops to berry waffles, though waits can stretch if you don't call ahead. Recent months show consistent praise for staff kindness and animal welfare. One older review raised concern about a dog boarding experience, but no recent reviews echo that complaint. The cafe actively shares stories about rescue dogs like Rocky and Mona, and visitors often mention staff teaching proper dog interaction.

All five recent reviews are five-star. Visitors consistently praise the comfortable atmosphere, generous portions, and diverse menu spanning unagi chazuke, salmon burgers, and polo bun bagels. The matcha and citrus drinks drew specific compliments, as did the mocktails. Staff are described as friendly and the pricing reasonable for the portions offered.

Reviewers return for distinctive specialty brews and a comfortable place to linger, with staff who understand coffee well. The main friction: food tastes average and costs high relative to portion size, bathrooms need better upkeep, and service slows down unpredictably even on quiet days. Recent visits suggest the kitchen has grown inconsistent. One long-time fan reports favourite baristas have left and signature items (matcha chocolate mille crepe) taste off; another found uncooked chicken. Noise in the upstairs seating and pricing concerns recur, though coffee itself still earns praise.
