What Gail Kapusnick likes about White Dog Cafe-Haverford:
Superb food, wonderful service and we were late because we got a flat tire on the way. When I apologized I was told "no problem.. My firend stayed outside to call AAA for help. I said that we would wait until she came before we ordered. The gentleman behind the counter offered change her tire now!! She was on hold with AAA and stopped the call. He found the donut tire and the jack and in a few minutes he fixed the ti... View all feedback. What Sylvia Petry doesn't like about White Dog Cafe-Haverford:
I have been here 3 times previously and enjoyed my experience. However, this time the service was slow, although the restaurant was not full at all. My order was wrong. I don’t eat red meat and a great big slap of bacon was on my sandwich. I don’t believe anyone in my party was happy with the meal. Everyone took a bag home. Also, it appears the prices have increased significantly and they charge a 5% fee to use a cre... View all feedback.

I was in this restaurant for work. It's a good option if you don't go vegan, as I can eat from the menu. You have a separate vegetarian and gluten-free menu. Th...

White Dog Cafe has been a longtime favorite in the area, but for some recent visitors, it did not quite meet expectations. Some guests found the service to be lackluster due to understaffing, but appreciated the tasty cocktails and appetizers. The main dishes, like the mole chile and juevos rancheros, fell short in terms of flavor and presentation. Another reviewer found the food to be mediocre, with small portions and underwhelming cocktails. While some did enjoy the variety of food options, like the cauliflower appetizer and green curry tofu, others found the dishes to be overpriced and lacking in quality. However, there were positive experiences as well, with guests praising the cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and attentive service. Despite some mixed reviews, White Dog Cafe remains a popular choice for many looking for a cozy spot with a variety of dining options.

Very disappointing food for the first time. Mahi mahi tacos had little flavor and side salad had some wilted leaves and was carelessly thrown in the bowl.

Everything was perfect. I called that morning to request a booth in the bar area and they saved it for us. The food and service was stellar.
