K-9 Coffee - Glenelg

I always search for charming local coffee shops during my drives across the state with my dog. This place had a sign on the door prohibiting dogs inside, but didn’t provide any information on how to access the dog play area. I inquired if I could use my reusable mug, but the barista informed me that county regulations prevent it, so he poured my drink into a disposable cup instead. It was frustrating that there wasn’t a way to transfer my coffee into my travel mug. Supporting such a wasteful coffee industry can be challenging at times. Additionally, my matcha latte was a bit overcooked. I was really looking forward to trying this place, so I hope my visit was just an off day for them.

Don't hesitate—go here! Calvin is fantastic, and the place is an ideal hotspot. It deserves to be recognized on the map as the top destination for drinks in the area!

I arrived at 11 AM on a Thursday, but the restaurant was closed. I'm not sure why, as Google indicates they should be open, and the sign on the door lists the hours of operation. There was no explanation provided.

We visited today for the first time and it was fantastic! My chai latte was so flavorful and light-years better than Starbucks. Hot chocolate for our littles was such a sweet treat, made better than we ever do at home with foamed milk and everything! The business plans to expand soon into evening hours with the BBQ truck out front and we will definitely be back!

Now I am a big espresso person, have had it in MANY of the wonderful nearby cities along the east coast, but I must say that the espresso and corresponding beverages at K-9 Coffee is some of the best I’ve had. Easily the best mocha in Howard County, and quite possibly the best espresso! Once you try it, you’ll never go back.
