Where every walk ends with a treat — for you and your pup.

Jersey City is one of the most dog-friendly cities on the East Coast — and as a dog walker, dog dad, and founder of The Hour Club, I know the exact patios, coffee shops, and neighborhood corners that are built for both humans and pups.

This curated guide highlights the best dog-friendly spots in Jersey City — perfect for a coffee break, brunch stop, or post-walk hangout with your four-legged sidekick.

1. Hidden Grounds Coffee (Downtown)

Vibe: Chill, artsy, early-morning walk energy
Dog-Friendly: Spacious sidewalk seating + very pet-aware staff

A JC staple for dog parents. The sidewalk patio has plenty of space, making it ideal for pups who like to lay down and people-watch.

Hour Club Tip: Bring a mini mat or blanket so your dog has a comfy spot under the table.
