Stray Dogs Coffee, the Korean-inspired café at 3225 Market St. that built its Downtown following on house-roasted beans, housemade syrups and a mission to help stray animals, is marking its first year in business with a monthlong series of events capped by an anniversary weekend Feb. 20-21.

Husband-and-wife co-owners Jess and Tyler left careers in marketing to [open the Market Street café in February 2025](https://www.raincrossgazette.com/coffee-shop-goes-to-the-dogs-in-the-best-way/), describing it as "our love letter to the town we now call home." The shop reflects their Korean heritage and Christian faith — the couple donates 10% of profits to Foster Army, a Riverside-area organization that places animals with foster families.

Tyler is behind the specialty drinks and cold foams; Jess handles the housemade syrups and baked goods, including the banana pudding. The dog-friendly shop also serves pup cups for canine visitors.

Signature drinks include the Greyhound Latte — made with Earl Grey-infused syrup — and the Melona Matcha, made with a housemade melon syrup.

The anniversary celebration began earlier this month with a specialty latte promotion Feb. 5, a photo day Feb. 6, a Valentine's Day special pairing custom bouquets with free drinks Feb. 14, and a pour over class Feb. 16.

Two events remain: a community movie night Thursday, Feb. 19, and a matcha class Saturday, Feb. 28.

Anniversary Weekend runs Feb. 20-21\. On Friday, Feb. 20, the café hosts an anniversary party with pizza, ice cream and coffee. The following day, Saturday, Feb. 21, it holds an Anniversary Market Day featuring local vendors — a full vendor list is forthcoming.

Stray Dogs also offers mobile coffee catering for events throughout Riverside County. The coffee cart package starts at $400 for two hours of service for up to 50 drinks, with lattes, americanos and a selection of housemade syrups. The café cart package, at $500, adds non-coffee options, cold foams and additional syrup selections. Bookings are handled through the shop's Instagram.
