White Dog Cafe's newest location brings local, seasonal, and sustainable dining to Chester County. The original Vickers Tavern has been completely renovated, and the White Dog Cafe has preserved the building's history while adding chic farmhouse aesthetics and dog-themed decor. The restaurant features seven distinct dining rooms, each with its own unique personality and design. In addition, there is an expansive outdoor patio with a gas fireplace and retractable cover. The open Barn room includes a large oval bar, a sitting area by an open fireplace, and doors leading to the outdoor potting shed. The menu includes several White Dog staples, such as Kennett Square Mushroom Soup, Double Cheddar Burger, Lamb Bolognese, Truffle Fries, and house-made bread baskets from local farms, alongside new additions.

    We have been to all of the White Dog restaurants and this was our favorite outside of the city. Great food and service with a good vibe. Very cozy feel but also expansive with many different rooms.

    The newly opened White Dog Cafe - Chester Springs was uniformly excellent. Food, decor, ambience, service and location were all top notch. The menu is varied, so even the most picky eaters would find something to eat on the menu. I recommend a visit soon to the White Dog Cafe - Chester Springs.

    We had an amazing dinner here! The food was fantastic - we started with deviled eggs and whipped ricotta appetizers then we had the meatloaf, scallop and shrimp pasta and Flounder piccata for entrees and rice pudding and pumpkin toffee cake for dessert. Service was fantastic too. I highly recommend this location!

    The place is very well decorated. Food was ok and service was just ok. We did not like that they automatically apply a 3% charge for credit cards. The menu was pricey enough.

    Beautiful restaurant with themed rooms. Warm and inviting atmosphere, comfortable seating. Food was very good. A bit pricey, but this us a really nice place and I don't mind spending more for a good experience and good food. Friday and Saturday night- definitely make a reservation. At 7:00 on a Saturday evening, there were 0 parking places available. An indicator of how popular this place is.
