Reviewers describe Apollo Indoor Dog Park & Coffee Bar as a fresh Montreal concept with clearly divided zones for small and large dogs, a cafe area, a workspace and a dog wash, creating an inviting space even for people without dogs. The coffee shop offers pastries and an extensive drink menu, with iced drinks priced higher than hot ones, a pattern seen in nearby cafes. An entry fee per dog to use the off leash areas applies regardless of cafe purchases, which can make the experience pricey for frequent visitors. Proof of vaccination is required. Membership packages start at a monthly rate and include perks such as free drinks and access to the washing area, appealing especially to Griffintown residents. Parking is extremely difficult. Feedback highlights friendly staff and a passionate owner, attractive coffee and a well designed space with separate play areas for different dog sizes and a walk in shower for members; many reviewers say they will return.
Pancake is 4 months old & we went to Apollo to get her socialized with other dogs. 🐾
The staff are incredible; they offered a complimentary pup cup for Pancake & mint tea for me! 🍵
The place is very clean & is a great place to meet other dogs (as well as other dog owners!) There is also a shower area where you can bathe your dog, & a separate area for smaller dogs. Would highly recommend taking your pup, you can also learn a lot from other fellow dog owners:)
ps; you can get a latte with a picture of your pup printed on it ☕?
Mochi had a great time at Apollo today! He met lots of friendly dogs & enjoyed running around indoors since it was raining outside.
The place is very clean & well maintained-perfect for owners who want their dogs to have fun without getting muddy like at a traditional dog park. They even have a nicely designed shower area. The staff clean frequently & are very responsible about checking vaccine records, which makes me feel confident that my fur baby is playing safely here.
Un concept unique à Montréal & tellement cool 😍 Noisette & moi avons visité le parc à chien pour la première fois aujourd'hui. J'ai pu travailler de mon laptop, dans le parc à chiens, pendant que Noisette s'amusait avec les amis chiens & relaxait en liberté. Il n'y a pas encore beaucoup de monde vu qu'ils viennent d'ouvrir (puis j'étais là bas en journée & en semaine), alors je vous encourage fortement à aller les soutenir. Je n'habite pas à côté, mais ca va quand même définitivement devenir un de mes spots préférés de télétravail. Ah & l'endroit est beau, grand & propre, les cafés sont bons & staff est aussi adorable 🫶
Mon seul commentaire constructif pour l'avenir: je ne sais pas s'ils ont en tout temps au moins une personne du staff entrainée au comportement canin - puis pour l'instant avec peu de chiens ca ne semble pas indispensable honnêtement - mais dès qu'il y aura plus de chiens, je recommanderais d'avoir en tout temps une personne qualifiée capable de gérer les interactions canines dans le parc pour garder un espace de jeu sain pour les chiens (même si ce n'est pas une garderie évidemment).
LOVE this place! I saw a post about it on social media, & had to come with my 2 dachshunds!! ✨🐾 The space is so beautiful & clean. The two dog parks (one for small dogs & one for bigger dogs) are spacious. There's even space to come wash your dog. The coffee was delicious!☕? Posted about about the place on my story, & had so many questions from my followers. Don't forget to bring vaccination papers from your doggos to have access to the parks. Also, you don't need to own a dog to come enjoy the experience. I will definitely come back with my babies. I'm open to collab!! Urfiee - Content creato
Finally a place I can bring my dog & just relax & work when it's freezing/raining outside! Really nice vibe & great coffee & also love how people who don't have dogs also just come to hang & work to be around happy doggies:) nice that there's areas designated areas to have your large or small dog off leash so they can just socialize & play! Really nice addition to the area. I also just read some reviews from others & don't understand how people can be angry that they ask for rabies vaccine or that they ask for the dog to be on a leash in certain cafe areas. There are designated off leash areas but it's also a coffee shop & co-working space but I guess some people are never happy! Highly recommended even just for a fun coffee date

Apollo has become my dog's second home. The staff is super friendly, the herbal teas are delightful, & the growing dog owner community is really fun. It's easy to keep an eye on our dogs while entertaining a chat in the off leash area for large dogs. The place is frequently cleaned, & the dog shower room is a wonderful idea. Apollo has done so much for our dog, & for us. We strongly recommend it!
J'arrive pour prendre un café avec mon chien, la personne m'explique qu'on peut pas lâcher les chiens dans la partie café alors qu'il y avait un autre chien & quand je demande elle m'indique que c'est le chien de la propriétaire, super l'argument commercial. La partie où les chiens peuvent jouer était vide donc j'allais pas payer pour que mon chien joue tout seul. J'étais tellement contente d'essayer ce café mais c'est une déception & je ne suis pas prête d'y retourne
We visited this café a few days ago with a friend & our small dog, & had a great experience. The indoor space was very clean & well-organized, with separate areas for small & large dogs. Although there were no other dogs during our visit, the environment felt very comfortable & welcoming.
The staff were also very friendly & took the time to show us around all the facilities. We really appreciated their hospitality. We will definitely be coming back!

Let me start off by saying I do not have a dog, !!! crazy !!! I know. However i didn't need a dog to enjoy the delicious coffee & pastries here! I live in the area & I love a new coffee place. The atmosphere is so fun & calm. The dogs that were here while I was visiting seemed to be having the best time. Seems like such a fun concept to me & a great idea especially for the harsh MTL winters :)
Nous avons passé un excellent moment au café. Chaque espace a été pensé avec intention (p.ex. parc pour les plus gros chiens, parc pour les plus petits chiens, aire de détente pour prendre un café, salle de lavage pour chien) & le café était délicieux. L'endroit était propre & c'était un excellent moment pour socialiser Coco avec d'autres chiens. L'équipe était attentionnée & a donné plusieurs gâteries aux chiens. Nous allons certainement revenir.
I love this park! What a great idea. There is no other place in the city that provides this type of service to my knowledge. They have a fully functional, walk in shower room for members. 2 separate play areas in case you have a smaller dog. & well trained baristas that serve high quality coffee, lattes, teas & hot chocolates. & its a great location even without a puppy to hand & enjoys some fresh pastries. All the staff was super friendly & welcoming. Will definitely be frequenting this cozy Cafe ❤?
Been here twice & it's hard to find anything bad about the place, the service is good, coffee is good, even the playground is an amazing space.
I also had a conversation with the owner, Josephine, I loved hearing about how she came to bring the coffee shop to life, her mission & her love for dogs.
Not only her but the staff is always welcoming. I know my dogs & I love coming here!
Thank you again!

Part of my rating is based on the fact it's a new-ish concept in Montreal. Toronto had a similar establishment which went out of business in Q4 2025.
The space is divided into different areas: off leash areas for small dogs, off leash areas for large dogs, cafe area, workspace type of space & dog wash area. The whole space looks inviting even for folks without dogs.
The coffee shop offers pastries & an extensive drink menu. Iced coffees are priced higher than hot drinks (similar as in some cafes nearby).
There's an entry fee of $10 per dog to use the off leash areas, regardless of your consumption in the cafe area, so it gets pricey quickly. Proof of vaccination (dog) is required.
There are some membership packages (starting at $50 per month) for frequent users including free drinks & access to the dog washing area. I guess this is targeted at the residents of Griffintown.
J'ai voulu essayé le parc mais je me suis faite refuser alors qu'il n'y avait personne car mon chien n'avait pas le vaccin de la rage alors qu'en principe le plus important c'est le bordetela & le vaccin de base quand il y a des rencontres avec des chiens ,je ne ferais pas faire la rage juste pour rentrer dans un parc ,c'est un bb ,finalement je suis allée au café canin juste au dessus sur notre Dame,ils sont très gentils & ne demande pas la rage 😡,c'est bien dommage la place est belle mais juste pour un vaccin j'irais ailleurs .
