The coffeeshop rave craze, a current Gen Z favorite, is springing up in cities like Los Angeles, Miami, Toronto and Zurich. These caffeine-fueled day parties are now getting a tail-wagging twist: dogs on the dancefloor.
On May 17th, the Doglateria café in Sydney, Australia teamed up with Spotify to throw the inaugural “Woof Doof,” the country’s first-ever rave designed specifically for dogs. The eatery serves what they call “doglato,” an all-natural gelato for canines with no sugar, preservatives or additives.
Of course, no rave is complete without tunes, so the “Woof Doof” event featured a live DJ who kept the volume between a dog-friendly 55 and 60 decibels.

While the future of Australia’s rave culture remains uncertain, this unique pop-up could mark the start of a new (and adorable) trend in the region.
“Cafés in the area and around the world are playing rave music, so we thought we shouldn’t miss this opportunity,” Doglateria owner Oscar Vallejo told Today.
The free event ran from 9am to noon, with the first 50 pups in line receiving Spotify-themed doggie merch and a gelato treat. Early arrivals also got to enjoy a special take on the classic açaí bowl made with coconut cream, muesli, peanut butter, honey and carob powder.
