You’re about to leave for work when an adorable furry face looks at you with innocent eyes and your heart breaks a little as you step out.
I mean wasn’t your doggo the one who made you feel at home in Singapore? Of course, leaving them behind is the hardest but you don’t have to do it all the time. There are awesome restaurants and eateries on the island serving amazing coffee, drinks and delicious bites and also welcome your pets with open arms. Here are the ones we love!
Lola’s Cafe

Let your furry pal make some friends or simply laze around at Lola’s Cafe. We love going here for brunches and to binge on their Pulled Pork & Avocado Eggs Benedict (S$16), Ultimate Croissant (S$15) featuring a butter croissant with honey-baked ham, honey mayo, cheddar cheese and cajun scrambled egg, and Tomato Swimmer Crab Linguine (S$18). They also have a variety of coffee and tea but you must go for their Bailey’s Affogato with chocolate and vanilla bean ice-cream.

Get a drink with your best bud along at Deadfall but do call a human friend too because you’ll need someone to drive you both home! While you sip on your regular drink or signature cocktails, your furry buddy can roam about, munch on treats and slurp on the water bowls placed near the outdoors bar. We recommend their Scarlet (Remy Martin Cognac, Wild Turkey Rye, Vermouth, Absinthe, Raspberry), Emerald (Arquitecto Tequila, Cointreau Coriander Salt, Grapefruit, Lime) and Aurum (Mackintosh Malt, Ginger Honey, Nori, Lemon), each for S$20. Pair your drinks with Cubano-style Pork, Jalapeno Poppers or House Nachos.

Sun Ray Cafe is one of the best places to sip on freshly brewed coffee and enjoy time with your doggo. The menu has pet-friendly dishes like Pet Scrambled Eggs Doggie Muffins, and Home-made Beef Shepherd’s Pie in case your buddy gets peckish. Plus, they even make cakes for them if you give them two-days’ notice. It is a coffee roastery as well so the coffee is absolutely amazing, but we also love their menu items like Chili Crab Pasta (S$14) and Buffalo Wings (S$8). Don’t forget to pick up a loaf of bread, made in-house, on your way out.
