Days Out Are For Dogs Too
Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

Ink & Ember is an independent bookshop café on Maiden Lane in the heart of Stamford, where dogs are welcome inside both the browseable retail space and the in-shop café. It's the sort of place where you can pick up a new read, settle in with a coffee and keep your dog with you throughout.
The shop stocks a curated selection of books alongside the café counter, so there's plenty to browse while your dog takes in the scents of the room. The combination of retail and refreshment makes it an easy, dog-inclusive stop during a wander through Stamford's historic centre.
Central Stamford parking is nearby and the venue's Maiden Lane location puts you right in the thick of the town's independent shops and streets. Useful for a rainy-day browse or a midweek coffee break when you'd rather not leave your dog outside.
