Yesterday, I attended the grand opening of Barkin’ Blends Dog Cafe’s second branch at SM North Towers. I had so much fun!
I was greeted by Finn the golden retriever.
And I was drawn by their display of food for dogs!
Yes, dogs! You can date your dog here!
Since it was their opening, I was treated to salted egg chicken wings and carbonara which are only available from their Sta. Lucia branch.
I totally dig their inclusive restroom.
Here I am with the owners, Ajie and Ate Tina, who have already become my close friends.
Their doggo treats are reasonably priced.
They also offer made-to-order doggo cakes!
Finally, here are a couple of pictures with Bern, the main girlboss begins Barkin’ Blends. She’s wearing my Christmas present, a cowl which I have knitted for her.
I also got to cuddle their resident doggos, like my favorite Ella.
Here I am with Stark the pomsky...
...Booster the Lhasa apso...
...and Stitch the Frenchie!
Here’s a sample of their doggo meal, the arroz dogubana.
Buchie seems to like it!
For dessert, I dropped by their neighbor, Elait.
They are known for their deaf crew and frozen yogurt and custard.
I ordered the strawberry mango cheesecake frozen yogurt and it was delicious!
Props for using local dairy, Elait!
I started knitting a new cowl while having coffee.
Later that night, I had soup and fishcake from Korean joint Samjin Amook.
I also had shawarma bratwurst and rice near SM Hypermarket.
I capped off my day with Bayani Brew...
...and a 30-minute chair massage.
I will definitely go back to all the places I’ve been to yesterday, especially Barkin’ Blends and Elait! See you again soon!
