Doggo Den’s Café by Neha Sonawat

BSc in Interior Design

Doggo Den’s Café goes beyond the usual pet-friendly place. It’s like someone smashed a park and a hipster café together, then invited every good boy and girl with their humans to come vibe. Neha Sonawat’s got a soft spot for snoots, so she came up with this gem. She tossed aside the usual trap with walls thinking and came up with a breezy, eco-friendly hangout where everyone has a blast.

No suffocating ceilings, no sad little corners. Just big green lawns, wiggly pathways for adventure, cozy pergolas to forget your phone’s existence for a second. Dogs just lose their minds over the agility setups—splash pads, tunnels, all that jazz. While the owners kick back in a cabana or prop your feet up on a chunky wooden table that looks like it could be reclaimed. The whole place has a “lazy Sunday at the park, but with snacks” vibe rather than that of a sterile café.

Sustainability isn’t a buzzword here, it’s in your face—in the best way. You’re sitting on bamboo and jute, while your pupper’s sliding on anti-skid tiles, and the all-natural grass. The joint runs on solar, catches rainwater, and composts.

They’ve even thought of the little stuff—paw-wash stations, some cute clay bowls for water, and even specced out dining zones for your furball. It’s a hangout for the hyper and the chill, somewhere you meet other dog people and become a “regular.”

Neha’s spot is not about pet café fads or trends on Instagram. It’s a proper lifestyle. Where you, your beastie, and the planet all get a little love—and, if we’re being honest, probably some pretty epic memories and selfies to talk about.
