Ultimate Guide To Dog-Friendly Places: Hang Out With Your Doggy All Day, Every Day!

Have you had your little pooch begging you with those innocent puppy eyes hoping that you’d bring them along with you? Well, you are not the only one. We too, spend at least 5 minutes every single day at the door assuring them that we’d be back in a few hours. However, that doesn’t mean that we aren’t guilty leaving them all alone. *inserts crying emoji*

Why not bring your pooch along to your next gathering? We have compiled a fun list of dog-friendly places: cafes, beaches and even a hotel, that allows you to spend some time with your fur-kid! No more sad, droopy eyes staring back at you. Plus, they also get to socialise and make some new friends. That’s definitely a win-win for doggy and us!

Dog-Friendly Restaurants/Cafes

Admit it, all of us dog owners secretly wish all cafes are dog-friendly.

We’re glad to announce that this secret dream of ours is actually coming true. There are quite a few dog-friendly cafes with excellent food in Singapore.

Not all of them have separate menus for our furry friends though, but we are sure that they are contented just lying around and spending time with us!

1) The Coastal Settlement

A superb area located in Changi, The Coastal Settlement has both indoor and outdoor seating areas. It is a cosy and spacious cafe with pretty awesome food for the humans. Also, water bowls are complimentary for our little ones.

This will be great for some quality, cosy time with both your human friends and furry loved ones. Order some finger food to share and enjoy the well-deserved weekend!

Think wood-fired pizzas and our favourite pastas. Casa Verde is a splendid place with great, authentic Italian food. Awesome, yummy food and you get to spend time with your little one – what’s more to ask for?

If you are there for a weekend brunch, be sure to get the Big Brekkie for yourself. For the pets, they have a pretty great selection that includes Cream Cheese Salmon Rolls and Beef Shepherd’s Pies. With those yummy treats, your furry one is definitely going to jump around with joy after that hearty meal.

There are a few fenced up areas in Singapore called dog runs. These facilities are created just for our cute little ones. Remove those leashes and set them free, so they can enjoy the freedom of being in the great outdoors at least for awhile. We reckon they’d be so happy (and tired!) afterwards.

1) Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park

An area that spans over 3km – we get why this place is a hot favourite on the weekends! There is also a fenced area designated for the bigger doggies out there.

Bishan Park

2) West Coast Park

A place for the Westies! The park is open at all times so you can head there for a workout with your dog any time of the day.

On top of providing biodegradable poo bags, water taps are also available, just in case our little ones get thirsty.

3) Katong Park

Though the dog run is not that big, we are sure it is sufficient for a mid-week workout and training for our furry kids.

4) Tampines Central Park

Though the dog run is small, you can go for a walk with your doggy together in the spacious dog-friendly park.

5) The Animal Resort Off-Leash Park

Besides a dog run, there are also other facilities such as a pet hotel, grooming school as well as agility facilities. Time to train our fur kids!

Dog-Friendly Places

All dogs are required to be leashed up (except for Marina Barrage) at these places, but we are certain that doggy won’t be blaming you for that leash, since they will be spending some quality time with their favourite person!

1) East Coast Park

One of the most popular parks in Singapore, East Coast Park, is huge so there are plenty of spaces for your pooch to run around. A picnic with both your dog and human friends sounds really great!

2) Botanic Gardens

A walk with your furry companion in the scenic, award-winning Botanic Gardens is just pure enjoyment. Definitely a photo-worthy location for the both of you!

3) The Green Corridor

Want a good, long walk with your pooch and explore a little bit of Singapore’s history at the same time? Try The Green Corridor!

With a photogenic old railway line connecting to a few other green spaces like the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve – things are certainly going to get interesting.

We are really glad to see so many great dog-friendly places that warmly welcome our pets. After all, we love them (a lot!!!!) and always want to give them the best.

Just hanging out together and giving them a small little treat once in a while is certainly worth it. So, give these dog-friendly places a visit and we are pretty sure that your furry kid is so going to jump around with joy.

Situated along Tanjong Pagar shophouses, you can’t miss the stunning shop front of Drury Lane, inspired by London’s iconic red phone booths. The café’s name was derived from a nursery rhyme, The Muffin Man – a fun fact to justify their good selection of tasty muffins!

Drury Lane serves all-day breakfast with additional dishes on the weekends. While customers can choose the bar seats as they watch their coffee brew in the open kitchen, the second storey offers a more spacious seating with the choice of a stool, couch or crate boxes as you work away on your laptop in the cosy minimalist setting.

The café’s peculiar name was drawn from the owner, Gene’s food principle – “Gene is Selfish because he will not serve food he would not eat”. His passionate work spirit is pleasantly infused in the welcoming interior furnishings made up of a chalk-and-blackboard concept.

Besides their breakfast to lunch specials, check out their tantalising homemade cakes such as their signature banana cake ($5.80) drizzled with savoury peanut – simply a perfect treat after a long week of slogging.

Your attitude is like a box of crayons that color your world. Constantly color your picture gray, and your picture will always be bleak. Try adding some bright colors to the picture by including humor, and your picture begins to lighten up. ~ Allen Klein

The very filling brunch is still happily staying in my stomach. The best way to start the weekend is to brunch away.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the Australian-inspired café offers a temporary escapade to suburban living, as you enjoy chewy wood-fired crust pizzas and truffle fries while overlooking the lush greenery.

On the weekends, you’ll see bouncy castles set up just for the kids to bond and play together while the families bask in the laid-back atmosphere amidst the meadow.

Situated at Changi Village, Chock Full of Beans boasts of a warm ambience, as distinguished by its authentic red-bricked wall and aroma of locally roasted coffee. Besides their latte art, Chock Full of Beans is also known for their awesome service and extensive food menu that ranges from quality breakfast sets to fancy brunch fare all day.

Its exquisite 2D and 3D Latte Art often leaves customers marveling and squealing at their cutesy iced lattes all the time. While it is a popular favorite amongst its customers, do note that they have limited one 3D art to each dining table during peak hours.

If you’re wondering what is “Penny University” all about, here’s a quick fact-sharing: During the 18^th century, London was known for its burgeoning coffee culture when more and more people gathered at coffeehouses. Gradually, their casual conversations led to reasoned discussions. With coffee priced at a mere penny back then, their coffee culture eventually became associated with the term “Penny University”.

Today, paying homage to London’s coffee culture, the East Coast coffee joint, Penny University café is a favourite amongst café-goers in Singapore. While it clearly isn’t a legit education university, Penny University is serious about its business – especially its coffee brews. Their artisan coffees are known to be nicely proportioned and textured, which keep caffeine lovers coming back for more despite its no-frills menu.

Besides their selection of velvety cakes and food items infused with distinctive twists such as Moroccan spices, Penny University offers a snug afternoon in the dimly-lit setting replete with modern vintage interior designs.

*Free Wi-Fi and available power points
* Penny University is not certified halal but they run a halal kitchen, and their suppliers use halal ingredients.

Housed within a spacious industrial warehouse, Wheeler’s Yard’s vintage décor concept started originally in the 1960s when their family opened an automobile business, drawn from their passion for wheels and an eye for quality. Today, being more than just a typical café, Wheeler’s Yard offers bikes, accessories sale and rental services while they focus on simple and heart-warming fare with old-school favourites and fragrant coffee.

Wheeler’s Yard offers both indoor and alfresco seating in the rustic-styled, roomy house that makes dining a mellow experience just for you.

Also known as “House of The Moment”, Maison Ikkoku is located along Singapore’s trendy Haji Lane district. It is the only 3-in-1 concept multi-storey café around town that offers a contemporary café, multi-label menswear boutique and a semi-alfresco cocktail bar on the 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd floor respectively. Furthermore, its fascinating interior made out mostly of recycled furniture surely adds a cosy vibe to its stylish concept.

It is a favourite amongst caffeine lovers in Singapore with its coffee and latte art skills trained by celeb barista Hiroshi Sawadee. Though they don’t serve breakfast after 11am, they offer interesting signature snacks like the mi misubi made up of seasoned Japanese rice and meat.

Not forgetting their outdoor seating that offers, in contrast, a sleeker picturesque backdrop for your #OOTD needs.
