About Us
Meet the OwnersAngela Cao & Nathan Depante
Founded by Angela Cao of Lost Cat, and Nathan Angelo Depante, with experience at Kona's, Home Cafe, and Palette Tea House. Stray Dog brings Chinese-Filipino inspiration from Shanghai, Manila, and beyond to specialty coffee and creative cocktails. Named after the adventurous spirit of our beloved Pomeranian, Merlin, the face behind our logo, Stray Dog is all about good drinks, good company, and a little mischief.
The Stray Dog PhilosophyWe opened our doors in July 2026 with a simple vision: to bring the neighborhood together. Designed as a welcoming third space beyond home and work, we're a place to connect, unwind, and feel right at home. From thoughtfully curated specialty coffees to creative cocktails, every detail is meant to inspire good conversations, lasting connections, and a sense of community. Whether you're stopping by for your morning ritual or winding down after dark, there's always a place for you at Stray Dog.
