Guide Dogs Café FAQs
Guide Dogs NSW/ACT will bring the best of brunch and puppy hugs to Sydney’s CBD at a lab-radorably themed pup-up café, where coffee will be served in the company of a pawfect companion!
Guide Dogs Café goers can dine, pat puppies, pose in a pooch themed photo booth and even play in a plushie dog toy ball pit – all in one place! As well of lots of cute puppies to play with, Therapy Dogs and Guide Dogs will also be in attendance at the pup-tastic event.
As part of the immersive Guide Dogs Cafe experience, guests will also have the chance to chat with people in the low vision and blind community about how their Guide Dog helps them live a life without limits.
