Fuel Up at These Pet-Friendly Cafes

A day out with your pet is best started with a good cup of coffee and a delicious meal, and Joo Chiat’s cafe scene does not disappoint. Many establishments with outdoor seating are more than happy to welcome well-behaved pets.

The Brewing Ground, nestled in The Yards, is a spacious and lush green oasis perfect for a relaxed brunch. Their generous outdoor seating area allows your pet to lounge comfortably by your side as you tuck into their delectable offerings. With a menu that boasts both hearty and healthy options, it's a popular weekend spot for pet owners in the East.

For the serious coffee aficionado, Common Man Coffee Roasters, housed in a beautiful 1920s shophouse, is a must-visit. Their pet-friendly alfresco area lets you soak in the Joo Chiat atmosphere with your loyal companion. Indulge in their specialty coffee brews and all-day brunch menu for a truly satisfying experience.

If a trendy, Japanese-inspired menu is what you're after, look no further than Hello Arigato.
