Reply to comment by spitfireramrum in Jc coffee shops with window service? by OpenSpoon2311

Non service Dogs are not legally allowed inside any place that serves food or alcohol in NJ.

The only 2 exception to , this is breweries which don't server alcohol or food and are not subject to FDA law and only the alcohol commission law which allow dogs on prem.

Private members only clubs with owners permission . Elks , Moose , Knights of Columbus etc. But subject to normal rules during public / guest events.

​

Some places turn a blind eye or if not blatant violation and no one is complaining its not really enforced. But in JC i can promise you there are Dog hating Karens that will IMMEDIATELY report a place when they see it .

​

I seen it at place that allow dogs at the outdoor seating areas ( totally legal with owners discretion ) , always eventually a Karen that complains about it.

​

I love find dog friendly places , like Departed soles or ed and Mary's personally

good to know as I didn’t know that it was a state law. I had started to bring my small dog to lackawanna when I not only saw other dogs there on a regular basis but also the baristas giving out treats so I assumed it was not just allowed but encouraged. I would grab a coffee and go sit outside in the back or continue walking but that became my go-to coffee shop because of the convenience of being able to grab a coffee while walking my dog in the morning. Besides there I never bring my dog inside any food/drink establishment.

Some coffee shops can have a loop hole too where they wont get dinged - If food is not prepared on site and brought it - its not a violation technically.

Of course they could not care because its not like there is anyone out enforcing it if no one complains .

Anywhere where food is prepared or that serves alcohol is subject to FDA rules which is no animations indoors.

Beer is regulated by alcohol commission which is ok with Pets on Perm.
