Sip of Hope

Across Fullerton from the Logan Square library, and the one café in this category that states its own dog policy rather than leaving it to be inferred: the FAQ says the "patio is also open and pet-friendly, weather permitting."

It is run by Hope For The Day and describes itself as "the world's first coffee where 100% of the proceeds support proactive suicide prevention and mental health education."

Open daily, 7am to 1pm — a morning stop rather than an afternoon one.

There is a second Sip of Hope inside the University of Chicago's Center for Care and Discovery at 5700 S Maryland Ave in Hyde Park. It sits in a hospital building and has no patio, so the dog-friendly part applies to Logan Square only.

Dogs on a café patio are covered by Chicago's dog-friendly-area ordinance — see the Patios and Restaurants page for what the rule actually requires.
