• Leash length ≤ 1.5 m (FEHD baseline).
• No dogs on dining tables or bar seats (FEHD rule).

What the field reports:

• Open-plan industrial cafés with pet-friendly stance typically accommodate small or medium dogs on a short lead, with weekend tea the most contested period.

1. Book on OpenRice for weekend tea — the 15:00–17:00 window fills 24 hours ahead.
2. Try the kakigori shaved ice — the dessert-segment draw.
3. Visit on weekday lunch — quieter, more room for a small or medium dog.
4. Carry AFCD e-licence — the venue is on the FEHD register.
5. Don’t bring a “Dangerous Dog” breed (Cap 167D) — the FEHD permit doesn’t override the parent ordinance.
6. Pick a window seat — quieter for a small or medium dog.
7. Bring a portable water bowl — not verified on site.
8. Use the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront for a relief walk before/after.

OpenRice 4.0/5 across 196 reviews; reviewers consistently note the kakigori and the industrial décor, with the single open-plan dining floor cited as both a draw and the reason weekend tea fills quickly.
