You can now grab your espresso while hanging out with adoptable dogs in Silver Lake at America's first Dog Cafe, now serving Ground & Hound Co. and Dogs Drink Coffee (both of which donate a portion of their proceeds to animals in need). For $10, patrons get 55 minutes in the dog lounge along with one beverage. Make a reservation and find the full list of available dogs for adoption on the cafe's website. The Dog Cafe  creates not only a new way for people to enjoy coffee with friends but also a new approach to adopting shelter dogs. All photos by Kelsee Becker
