Good food—no make that great food! We serve quality whole food products with minimal processing, sourced from local farms and vendors when we can. During the growing season, we purchase from local growers for our specials menu. Our soups and chilies are always homemade!
Located near the south campus of UCONN, Dog Lane Café is a European/American café, offering something for everyone from early morning to late at night. The menu and the daily specials emphasize seasonal, local and freshly-prepared food all made to order. Sample from our wide variety of sandwiches, grilled items and freshly tossed salads or help yourself to coffee at our self-service coffee bar — or sample a drink from our Barista bar featuring Lattes, Chais & Specials. Enjoy a smoothie from the menu that are all made with fresh ingredients or indulge in one of the many desserts. Relax in our comfortable dining room or during warm months enjoy outdoor dining on the patios on both Storrs Road and Dog Lane. Whether you are in hurry or want to take some time and relax with friends, our style of service lets you set your own pace.

What does that mean?
At Dog Lane Cafe, a $15.00 menu item
is really $13.97 + $1.03 tax.
We don’t use pennies, dimes or nickels.
Why? Well, it’s faster and easier, and yet the outcome is the same–we just don’t have to count small change.
Here at Dog Lane Café, we like to keep things simple–and whole!
Dog Lane Café is the sister restaurant to The Vanilla Bean Café in Pomfret, 85 Main in Putnam and Fenton River Grill in Mansfield.
