Dog-Eared Café

Dog-Eared Café Second hand books. First rate coffee. It’s good music and honest conversations, the world’s demands left at the door.

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. 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. It’s 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. Located in historic downtown Paris, Ontario with a picturesque view of the Grand River, DOG-EARED CAFÉ serves perfected crafted espresso drinks, delectable baked goods, fresh sandwiches, and offers a diverse selection of well-loved books in all genres to peruse while enjoying a really, really good cup of coffee.

Did you know that drinking a hot beverage on a hot day actually cools your body temperature better than a cold drink?
It’s science!
There’s been numerous studies on the subject, but our favourite is one published by McGill University (link in comments)
That said, knowing that hot drinks trick your body into cooling on a hot day doesn’t make it more refreshing. It’s reminiscent of the old saying “intelligence is knowing tomatoes are a fruit; wisdom is knowing it doesn’t belong in fruit salad.”
Whatever you’re craving, we won’t judge. We’re just happy to help get your day going with some exceptional coffee.
Speaking of, have you tried our new Brown Sugar Cold Foam? It’s super a yummy topper for any of our cold drinks and only available for a limited time! (We’ll be offering a new flavoured of Cold Foam each week throughout the summer.)
Stay cool, Paris! 😎 Hope to see you all soon!
