Since 1983, White Dog Cafe in University City has been serving locally sourced, seasonal dishes in the heart of the University of Pennsylvania's campus. The first farm-to-table restaurant in Philadelphia, White Dog Cafe began as a tiny shop serving muffins and coffee and has grown to become a Philadelphia icon. Our menu features sustainably grown ingredients sourced from farms within 50 miles of Philadelphia. The trio of Victorian brownstones features a variety of unique dining rooms filled with dog decor, whimsical fixtures, and stunning artwork; each room has its own personality, perfect for everyday dining, celebrations, meetings, and private parties.
