Blue Dog Kitchen LogoThe Blue Dog Coffeehouse joined the University District neighborhood in August 2004. At the time, we were one of the only coffee shops on the north end of University Way. We started as a simple coffeehouse, slowly expanding our resume with baking our own pastries. Our made-from-scratch approach caught on as we began experimenting with such treats as Green Tea Cookies and Chai Poundcake alongside classics like Blueberry Muffins and Chocolate Chip Cookies.
