Our pets are basically our children, so it’s natural to want to take them everywhere we go. But reality often forbids us from doing so, and we often worry or feel a tinge of sadness whenever we leave them at home.
Thankfully, some cafes in Singapore have started to appreciate our furry friends more and began dedicating some of their outdoor seating – if not the whole cafe – to pet lovers and their fur babies. If you want to bring your four-legged chum out for some bonding time over a meal, here’s a list that’ll bring an end to those sad puppy dog eyes you’re used to.
Nestled inside a quiet residential area, Happenstance Cafe offers a variety of tasty cafe fare for pet owners and their fur kids. Their Signature Burger ($14.90+) has its buns toasted to a golden brown with a thick slab of juicy beef patty and streaky bacon wedged in-between. To not leave your pooches out, you can customise a bowl of pasta (from $6.50+) for them too. First, choose a pasta type, followed by your choice of vegetables, type of meat and a topping such as cheese or salmon oil. However, as the standard portion given is quite small, you might want to get a bigger portion if you have a larger dog.

Paw Pet-radise lets you enjoy brunch with your pet as they serve an extensive menu for both you and your furry bae. They offer light bites and mains such as Crispy Mid-Wings ($5.90++) and Chicken Chop ($13.90++) for you to munch on while your pet can enjoy a bowl of Pan Fried Beef Pasta ($9++). As the cafe has a large play space, you can organise private parties here as well. These parties can happen pretty often, so regular cafe-goers who want to avoid the disappointment of being turned away at the door can call or check their Facebook page before heading down.

Sun Ray Cafe near Serangoon Gardens serves delectable food for both pet owners and their fur kids.

Rosemary Chicken ($16) is a juicy chicken thigh served with a side of mashed potatoes and broccoli, finished with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar reduction. On the pet menu, they offer dishes such as Homemade Cream Cheese Salmon Roll ($12) and Doggie Birthday Cake ($15 to $30), which you’ll have to call and order in advance.
