## Quick answer

Unfortunately, for hygiene reasons and the comfort of all guests, only service animals are permitted inside the shop interior.

## Detailed answer

While we love animals, our indoor seating area at Matcha Tea & Dessert Markham is not pet-friendly for general pets, including small dogs, due to food safety regulations and to ensure a comfortable experience for all our patrons. However, service animals are always welcome.
