Dog-Eared is a turn of phrase that makes us think of something well loved — adored to the point it wears the lover’s finger prints on its skin — leaving an impression, permanent and fond. The DOG-EARED CAFÉ has been conceived of in the tradition of European cafe models of old to provide an atmosphere in which art, literature, activism, and conversation are paramount, taking precedence over long lines, impatient baristas, and uncomfortable seating designed to discourage long stays. Dog-Eared Café is a comfortable couch and a good book; a warm, carefully crafted coffee drink cupped in our hands, sipped slow to wash down a rich treat savoured. It’s good music and honest conversations, the world’s demands left at the door. Located in historic downtown Paris, Ontario with a picturesque view of the Grand River, the DOG-EARED CAFÉ serves delectable baked goods, fresh sandwiches, and offers a diverse selection of well-loved books in all genres to enjoy with a really, really good cup of coffee.
