    Challah French toast

    We visited on a Sunday for brunch after a puppy yoga session at Penns Woods Winery. It was an all exclusive ticket that was described as follows: "A morning of puppy yoga, mimosas, and feel-good eats, because everything is better with pups! We've partnered with Providence Animal Center, Pennswoods Winery, and Yoga Six Glen Mills to bring you a morning that checks every box -- wellness, wine, good food, and dogs who have absolutely no idea what downward dog means but will try their best anyway. Start the morning at PennsWoods Winery with a mimosa. A Yoga Six instructor will lead you through a feel-good flow while puppies from Providence Animal Center meander freely through the class. These pups are all available for adoption -- so if you leave with a new best friend, that's a win we fully support. Then head to White Dog Cafe Glen Mills for a two-course brunch featuring breakfast breads fresh from our pastry kitchen, followed by your choice of entree and a mimosa to finish the morning." Here's the REAL description: 1. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The yoga session was outside. In the grass. With limited shade. Uneven ground. Lots of ants. Wet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A yoga session outside with 50 people should be led by an instructor who is either really loud or has a microphone set on. We couldn't hear the instructor. Did I expect an actual workout? No. I was there for the puppies. However, if you are leading a yoga class, the least you can do is make sure that EVERYONE can hear you. The puppies and volunteers were great. We got lots of puppy hugs and kisses. Plus ants. Lots of ants. Suggestion: limit the guests and have the session inside. Breweries do it all the time. 2. After yoga (9:00-9:30), you had one hour before brunch at the WDC. The winery offered a mimosa with the ticket, and they were very generous with the champagne. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The winery itself is beautiful, but there is no a/c at all. This is August, 90 degrees, humid AF. There should be a/c.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And there were no puppies after yoga, which was a disappointment. Apparently the winery is not dog friendly, yet there was a big black lab roaming around the seating area. Why would you have puppy yoga at a winery that is not dog friendly? [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathrooms were spacious and spotless, which was a plus.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 3. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We arrived at the WDC around 10:20 and were led outside to the outdoor dining area. Again, it's 90+ degrees...and we were not informed via the ticket description that brunch would be outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So, we chose a table in the shade (most were in the sun) and were told to help ourselves to water and coffee. After about a 1/2 hour, the head chef came out and introduced himself. He gave us this whole speech about "figs" and said we'd be served figs with honey and hazelnut. The figs were about the size of a golf ball, and we only got one each. The flavor was ok. Kind of bland, not filling. Now let's go back to the brunch description, which said this was a 2 course brunch, with the first course being "breakfast breads from our pastry kitchen," not one fig. The brunch menu itself had 4 choices. We ordered the French toast twice - once when we got there and once again after the fig. We weren't served the French toast until after 11:30. We sat there for over an hour with nothing but drinks and a fig. I showed our waitress the description of the brunch. She had no idea that's what it said. I didn't ask her to tell the manager, I simply wanted to tell someone that what was described on the ticket was not what was happening. She went and told her manager anyway and the manager came out with cornbread. That's not what I wanted. I didn't care about the cornbread, I cared about the inaccuracy of the event description and the lack of preparation this restaurant had for the event itself. Bringing us cornbread is like trying to shut us up instead of acknowledging their mistakes. No restaurant should make customers wait over an hour for food. WDC knew this event was scheduled and they were not prepared. End of story. It's not like we all just popped in unannounced and expected them to quickly serve a party of 50. This event was scheduled weeks, maybe even months, in advance. And it's not their first puppy yoga event! I would 100% have given them grace if this was their first time doing this, but it wasn't. The French toast was ok. Nothing special at all. Definitely not something that was worth waiting over an hour for. Conclusion: [[HIGHLIGHT]]I absolutely LOVE the ambiance (5 stars), but I'd never go back. I told my boyfriend I wished that we had a restaurant like this in our area. Everything was dog themed and very updated/modern. There were dog paintings, pictures, and fixtures everywhere you turned. And it was very clean and well staffed. Aesthetically speaking, this is MY kind of restaurant[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. However, after the full experience we had, I would never recommend it. Do better, WDC.

    White Dog Cafe in Glendale, PA is such a great spot. The food was absolutely excellent, the service was attentive without feeling rushed, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the whole place has this calm, cozy vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Tori was my server and she was amazing -- so friendly and super helpful when I was stuck choosing between three menu options that all sounded delicious. Her recommendations made the decision easy and the experience even better. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I also loved the décor -- the dog photos and unique touches everywhere give the restaurant so much personality and make it feel warm and inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Perfect for a relaxed meal where everything just feels done right.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely looking forward to coming back!

    Service was amazing. Our server was very attentive and professional. I really enjoyed the steak and bolognese. Had to alter the crab dip with sugar and lemon because it was VERY salty. Our server was going to take it back but I didn't want to trouble him. Anyway, I usually have a good experience at the WDC chain so I will definitely give this location another try.

    First timer. I didn't think I'd like it much based on the menu. I'm a picky eater. Well, I ordered the Pear Pressure cocktail- AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! The service from the bartender was great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor- too cute with dog pics all over![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the Impossible patty. It was good but I wasn't a fan of the toasted bread! Especially since the vegan cheese wasn't fully melted. Overall I will return.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I've been to a few white dog locations and this is my favorite, I love the vibe and the service is great![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely on the pricier side but the food is done well and they have a decent selection of vegetarian food and a nice cocktail/mocktail list. The mushroom soup is my favorite on the menu!

    Lemon Sour Cream Cake
    Johannah C.

    Honest to God, I don't know how this place has such a low rating. I've been here twice now on completely different occasions, and both times I was greeted by friendly, smiling hostesses. I chose to sit at the bar each time and had the same bartender, Lauren -- she's amazing. (Maybe she's the secret?!) Lauren gave fantastic recommendations (I get indecisive sometimes), and she makes a mean "Dirty Dog" -- think dirty martini, but with spicy pickled green beans. She even hooked me up with extra spicy beans, which are pickled in-house. I swear I could eat an entire container in one sitting. First visit: I had the mushroom soup, roasted mushrooms, and salmon -- all absolutely delicious, comforting, and perfectly cooked. Second visit: I tried the deviled eggs, seafood primavera, and finished with the lemon sour cream cake. Every bite was a win. That cake? Light, zesty, and the perfect ending. Every single dish I've had here has been bomb dot com. And that's coming from someone who travels for work and eats at restaurants every single day -- which can get extremely tiring. This place was a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend giving it a shot. Sit at the bar! Or out on the patio if the weather's nice. Bonus points: the walls are covered in dog paintings. How can you be in a bad mood looking at those cute adorable dogs?!?!?! Honestly, I think people just like to complain about meaningless stuff. But this spot? Worth it.

    First time at the White Dog Cafe for brunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is inviting and elegantly eclectic, a gallery of portraits of every breed of dog gracing the walls.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Danielle, our server was friendly, informative and very professional. Mushroom soup was outstanding, fried pickle appetizer . Main course we ordered 2 different omelets. Both were very tasty. Bacon could have been less greasy. We will be back to try new things.

    Grilled Cheese Combo

    Ended up at White Dog Cafe because my go to brunch spot was packed. We were seated right away and our food and drinks came out in a reasonable amount of time. My drink, the winter mule, was so basic. The drink tasted watered down; I couldn't taste any ginger beer. My chicken sandwich was good, but the fries were not hot...even after sending them back. Thankfully, the grilled cheese and soup combo were good. Maybe they had an off day.

    My experience at White Dog is always a pleasant one. The food and drinks are delicious, the staff is attentive and friendly and the atmosphere is so cute and aesthetically pleasing.

    Cute spot for lunch. Great lunch items and cute outdoor seating. Would recommend when in the area.

    I've dined at the White Dog Cafe twice for lunch. If you're a dog lover, then you'll love the White Dog Cafe! There's colorful pictures of various dog breeds on the walls and other fun dog themed decor. Both times I've been we didn't have a reservation. The first time there it was pretty busy because it was around the holidays, so we put our name on the waiting list. The hostess was very friendly and said it would be about 35 minutes, which it was. Luckily White Dog is located in Brinton Lake shopping center, so we popped into a few stores while we waited. The second time we dined here it was on a weekday and we were seated right away. Overall, I've found the food here to be solid! The deviled eggs are a must-order; so decadent. I liked that they were served with different topics for a nice variety. The crab dip is a perfect appetizer to share, packed with plenty of crab meat and super cheesy. We've also tried the tuna tartare which has great flavor. The only item I've tried that I didn't love was the chicken sandwich. The chicken was SO dry and there wasn't enough sauce on it (ordered some aioli on the side and even that couldn't save the chicken). Definitely wouldn't order that again, but would dine here in the future and try something else as my entree.

    Came here with my cousins for a ladies brunch! The food was delicious and the environment we definitely loved all the doggy portraits. It's such a vibe!

The bartender at the time was particularly very friendly and I could tell he gave off the same vibe to everyone. As I left this bar with a friend, one of the (assumedly) local patrons was telling us we should've purposely nudged a guy seated so that we could more easily leave the bar instead of slowly crossing over. That particular patron looked back at the first guy very annoyed. The first guy was probably already at least semi-drunk and just kept trying to go on with his "joke". Another thing that surprises me is that this bar is closed all day Sunday and that they open at 8 AM according to the Yelp page and stay open until 2 AM. Those are mad hours This coming Sunday, there was a big game with Eagles versus the 49ers. I've never heard of a bar open so early in the morning and not open on Sundays. Not open on Sunday because a lot of regular church-goers in the area, or the staff need a break and maybe they would want to go to church? Reminds me of Chik-Fil-A without the super late hours and instead of family friendly style food and drink and chicken icon, booze instead. There were no smokers when me and my friend were there. I was thankful for that. It looks like PA started to ban smoking in all bars in 2021. Personally, don't miss it! I already have a hard enough time breathing and sleeping without being around that stuff! No food at this establishment. Quality drinks on tap and reasonable prices. Nice staff.
