The Black Cat, counterpart to the White Dog Cafe, houses a quirky, eclectic collection of gifts in a row of Victorian brownstones. Here, one will find handmade jewelry, crafts by local and worldwide artisans, souvenirs, home accents, thought-provoking books, and countless conversation pieces.
We strive to be a socially responsible business by focusing on merchandise that contributes to the good of the planet as a whole. These "Whole World Products" include pieces made from recycled materials, the work of local artists and craftspeople, fairly traded international handicrafts, and products sold in support of disabled or disadvantaged people.
A visit to The Black Cat can be an entertaining, enchanting, or even enlightening experience, especially when combined with a meal or event at the White Dog Cafe. A small sampling of our diverse collection is offered here. Enjoy!
