Boris & Horton is the first dog-friendly cafe and community space in New York! We wanted to make a space where New Yorkers could enjoy their coffee and snacks alongside our four-legged friends. Whether you own a dog or just like being around them, Boris & Horton is the place to be. No wonder they call us the happiest place on earth!
We are also so proud to be New York’s first Department of Health-approved dog-friendly cafe where we welcome customers to bring their dogs inside. On top of our delicious coffee, beer, wine, and snacks, Boris & Horton also hosts adoption events and fundraisers with the hope that many dogs find their forever homes here.
You might be familiar with our pack, but just in case, let’s do some introductions!
Boris is a very unique-looking pit bull terrier mix with shaggy hair and you may have seen him rocking some cool bandanas around our store. He was born in Puerto Rico and was found roaming the beaches of our sunny neighbor to the south. Boris was rescued by DCluckydog in the summer of 2016 and has been a loving member of the family ever since.
Horton hails from Houston which is his given name. He is a 12-pound mystery breed with a ton of personality and an adorable snaggletooth. He’s also a shameless food beggar and his favorite treat is string cheese.
Coppy is the CEO and co-founder of Boris & Horton. He founded Charitybuzz, the leading online charity auction site, which raised hundreds of millions of dollars in partnership with top celebrities and nonprofits all over the globe. He is considered an expert in upscale cause marketing. Before Charitybuzz, he co-founded Webvan which pioneered online grocery ordering and delivery. He is the President of the Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation and is a member of the RFK Human Rights Leadership Council. Fun fact: Coppy enjoys at least one pot of black coffee each day- before noon.
Logan is the co-founder of Boris & Horton. Among her many roles, Logan manages the cafe calendar including adoptions, fundraisers, and a rotating roster of community events. Before New York, Logan lived in New Orleans and managed operations for Used Dogs, a no-kill dog rescue. During her time at Used Dogs, Logan doubled the yearly adoption rates and assisted with community surrender intervention programs. Logan also serves on the board of Muddy Paws Rescue and lives in Williamsburg with her husband and rescue animals.
