# Dog-Friendly Café Concepts MODERNBEAST Founders Open Biscuit Bar in Jackson, Wyoming By Adam Harrie | Published 2026-11-10 | Food and Nutrition Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biscuit-bar References: [biscuitbar.dog](https://biscuitbar.dog/password)  MODERNBEAST founders Lona Williams and Hope Reiners opened Biscuit Bar, a design-driven [dog bakery and café](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-love-you-like-a-dog) in downtown Jackson, Wyoming, pairing specialty coffee with freshly baked treats for dogs and their owners. The 1,500-square-foot space, designed by Kristen Panitch, draws inspiration from traditional London pubs and Parisian cafés. Williams bakes the dog menu, including [bison sliders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pup-pizza), ‘Fetch Fries,’ ‘Pup Pies,’ macaroons, and [celebration cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birthday-cake-mix-for-dogs), in a human-grade kitchen using human-grade ingredients. The brand says every recipe is veterinary approved. Human guests get Caffe Luxxe coffee and pastries from baker Reid Matthews. Biscuit Bar shows how a pet lifestyle brand can extend beyond products into a shared gathering space for dogs and their owners, with MODERNBEAST donating 100% of its profits, after operating expenses, to animal welfare organizations.
