Last Tuesday and Thursday, my friend Ruthie and I went to a place called Barkin' Blends Cafe in 91 Rosa Alvero Street, J&R Concon Centre, Loyola Heights. It was called a dog cafe. People visit to eat snacks in the "Human Zone" then they can hang out in the "Dog Zone" with all the pups in the area. I haven't tasted their food yet but their milk tea was pretty good. Not too sweet, not too bland.
The entrance in the Dog Zone costs 180 pesos and it comes with a drink of your choice. The area was small but big enough for dogs and humans to interact though it might not be good if you come in big groups, the dogs might not have enough space to move around and do dog things. I suggest you come in groups of 2-3 persons.
My experience there was extremely delightful. I got to play and interact with big dogs. I didn't have much of a liking with big dogs but when I went there, I spent time with a golden retriever named Marley and another dog, which I didn't know the breed, named Martha. They were adorable and they lied down and slept next to me. There was pug that I wanted to interact with. Her name was Smile and I absolutely love pugs. Although I felt sad for her because coming from my own experience of having dogs, she was stressed. People kept on carrying her and putting her on their laps and didn't put her down. Thus why she was always in the corner. I didn't want to add to her stress.
Here's a video my brother Drake made while we were there with Ruthie last Thursday:
Thank you, Barkin' Blends for two fun afternoons! =)
