I visited the dog garden terrace “Alice and Andy” in Yamaguchi-cho, which opened last May (*^^)v
On this day, I went together with a collie puppy I was looking after ← though it was so big you’d wonder, “Where’s the puppy part?” But since it’s a large-breed puppy, I guess that’s about right ^^; (^^♪
Alice-chan, the shop’s mascot dog, came all the way outside the building to greet us.
Alice-chan is an Australian Labradoodle girl. Apparently, she’s currently in the middle of serious training to become an “oshibori dog”!

Inside “Alice and Andy”
Sofa seating (^^♪ The sofa has the same pattern as the one at my place, so I immediately felt a little connection (#^.^#)
There’s a lovely wooden table, with chairs across from the sofa↓

Counter seats facing the kitchen.
On the wall, there’s a panel of Marley-chan, the owner’s beloved previous dog…↓

Counter seats with a beautiful view.
There are several spots where you can attach your dog’s leash (*^^)v Alice-chan is tied up there.
Apparently, it’s incredibly beautiful around sunset on a clear day↓

Terrace seating… It was cold that day, so I went straight inside without hesitation, but the terrace might feel really nice in the coming season !(^^)!
Just like the indoor counter seats, the view is lovely↓

The reason the inside felt so gently warm was the wood-burning stove !(^^)!↓↓

The Menu at “Alice and Andy”

It looks like you can also enjoy a barbecue on the terrace if you make a reservation (^_^)v↑
On this day, I had the cake set↓

The owners — it’s jointly run by two people — have a farm in Yokawa, and they also have curry dishes made with vegetables they grow themselves ← that sounds delicious! Next time, definitely!
And there was this notice↓

Alice-chan and Andy-kun take turns serving as the mascot dog 🌟
Andy-kun is a Newfoundland, which is a giant dog breed! I wonder if I’ll get to meet the big, black, fluffy Andy-kun next time…
The Exterior of “Alice and Andy”
Go down the stairs from the parking lot and you’ll find the entrance to the shop.

Final Thoughts
The two owners were calmly discussing purchasing arrangements. With things like golf competitions and guitar practice aiming toward live performances, it has such a fun atmosphere.
Inside, Wi-Fi is available, and there was also a 5% cashless payment rebate, which felt like a nice little bonus (^_^)v
It seems you can enjoy tea, lunch, and even alcohol here, even if you don’t bring a dog with you (^^♪
