Apollo Indoor Dog Park & Coffee Bar is described as a clean, well organized space with separate areas for small and large dogs, a dog wash, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy for dog owners to socialize and work nearby. Many visitors praise friendly staff, complimentary pup cups, good coffee and pastries, and a calm, enjoyable vibe that draws a growing local dog owner community. Safety is highlighted by frequent cleaning and checks of vaccination records, which helps keep play safe. Non-dog visitors can also enjoy the cafe and coworking space, and the design even allows watching dogs while relaxing. Practical notes include a per dog entry fee for off leash areas, vaccination papers required, and occasional parking challenges, with constructive feedback suggesting a dedicated staff member to manage canine interactions when more dogs are present. Overall, the concept is seen as a unique, welcoming addition to Montreal that makes a rainy day or winter more enjoyable for dog lovers.
The coffee is nice & definitely one of the highlights, but the staff isn't very attentive to orders they tend to forget them (even if there is no one at the coffee shop) which can be frustrating. Aside from that, it's a fun place with a good vibe for your dogs.

Un endroit tout simplement incroyable & d'une propreté impeccable ! C'est un concept unique à Montréal qui gagne à être connu. Entre la qualité des installations & l'accueil chaleureux du personnel, c'est un must. Je recommande à 100 % !
Yumi is always pulling us towards this place on her walks! She loves being greeted with yummy treats. Fully enjoyed the 12$ midday combo (coffee + entry)!

Very nice & clean place. However, I wouldn't call it an indoor dog park. It's more like an inclosed area where dogs can be leash-free. There is not much for them to play with. Dogs must have their proof of vaccination to come inside (it's mandatory & not an option). It's a very quiet place where some people work. I felt a bit awkward when my dogs were barking because I felt like it might bother the customers working there. They sell good coffee & some non-caffeinated drinks. They also sell some pastries if you are hungry.
On était enthousiastes à l'idée de découvrir ce café, mais l'expérience a malheureusement tourné court. On nous a tout simplement montré la porte parce qu'on n'avait pas de preuve de vaccination sur nous.
On a trouvé la situation particulièrement peu accueillante, & le fait de se faire mettre dehors assez indélicat. Surtout que l'endroit était pratiquement vide, avec un peu de volonté, il y aurait eu des options d'accommodement.
Bien qu'on fréquente d'autres cafés canins, c'est la première fois qu'on nous demande une preuve de vaccination. Ça ne nous a donc même pas traversé l'esprit de vérifier au préalable. C'est pourquoi j'écris cet avis, c'est vraiment une particularité de l'endroit importante à connaître avant de se déplacer comme on l'a fait (faire 1h30 aller-retour pour un tel accueil, déception assurée).
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 ☕?

I dogsit & I'm always looking for dog friendly places to work from so I'm super happy that they opened Apollo! I brought Leo, one of my regulars, & he loved it!
The space is big, clean, very cute & comfortable! They separate little dogs from big dogs which makes such a difference, & there are different areas depending on your vibe: chill spots if you just want to hang with your dog or a bar with plugs if you need to get some work done while they run around.
They ask for vaccination proof which is a relief in case anything happens you know that at least all the other doggies are vaccinated.
The coffee is good & the hojicha is really good. Didn't expect that from a dog park but here we are. #finally
I give it 5 stars because its new but just one small thing, the stools at the bar are a bit low for working on a laptop. Not a dealbreaker at all since theres so many other comfy spots to work from but taller stools would make that spot so much more comfortable. Would love to see that change! Also they come & clean if theres a little pee moment but it would be so much easier if there was a little button or a way to signal that cleaning needs to be done (a little cardboard flag or something maybe?)
Day pass is $10. Super worth it for how much space & how chill the whole experience is. If I lived closer I'd probably be here every week. Congrats again, beautiful place :)
I love the concept, I sincerely hope that this business will be successful & a part of the neighbourhood for a long time. The staff is super sweet & I'm very happy that the coffee is decent as well, not just an afterthought. Thank you for making us feel welcome 🤗 We had a great time & will definitely return.
Side note: personally, I'm glad that proof of vaccination is a must.
Theodore & I had a great time @ Apollo indoor dog park. Very much love the co-working dog park combo. I selfishly wanna hang with Theodore all the time, also want him to get exercise/socialize … here we can do both & get a yummy coffee 😋 We will definitely be back 🥳

We LOVE the vibe, the employees, the drinks!!!!!! ( highly recommend lavender matcha 🍵) . I guess the photo will explain how we love here. This will be our Favourite Montreal doggie cafe ever!!!!!🌷
Was planning on checking this place out with our two dogs until we saw the mandatory vaccination policy. With everything that is coming out about the negative effects of vaccines on dogs (& humans), this is an ill-informed policy. Ignoring these facts in the world of information is a choice. Will you require a vaccine passport for your human customers, too?
Great experience! The service is amazing, the puppies are adorable, & the environment is really cozy. & the baristas are very friendly. I highly recommend to anyone who's thinking of visiting. 🐕🤍
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).
