5 Pet-Friendly Cafes In Town 2019

For convenient playdates and more

There are plenty of pet-friendly cafes around in Singapore, but a bulk of them are located in far-flung heartland neighbourhoods that can be a bit inconvenient to get to for pet owners who live on the other end of the country. This shouldn’t stop us from organising play dates with fellow pet lovers though, so here’s a list of pet-friendly cafes nestled in central Singapore, including town, the CBD, and along the Singapore River:

1. Earlybird

If you thought fried chicken and waffles were good, wait till you try Earlybird’s Chicken & Pancakes ($19). A cheery bird-themed cafe with bright yellow walls and colourful murals of birds, Earlybird is a crowd-favourite amongst dog owners even though it does not provide food specially made for the critters.

The reason is simple – everything about the place is photo-worthy, from the decor to the delicious dishes, coffee is good, and there is plenty of shade for the doggos to rest under.

Overlooking the Singapore River and city skyline at Marina Bay, Kontiki is an American bar and restaurant with a rustic alfresco dining area for you and your pup to chill at.

With a Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic front and an edgy, rustic interior, My Awesome Cafe is definitely high on every cafe-hopper’s go-to list. Dishing up a variety of brunch items like sandwiches, croissants, and salads, the best part about My Awesome Cafe is that they allow you and your furry friend to sit indoors if there isn’t a crowd. Of course, your pup has to be leashed for the sake of other patrons, but do make sure to call ahead and check if it’s alright for you guys to sit inside, just in case.
