Barkin Blends at SM North

Yesterday, I attended the grand opening of Barkin’ Blends Dog Cafe’s second branch at SM North Towers. I had so much fun!

I was greeted by Finn the golden retriever.

And I was drawn by their display of food for dogs!

Yes, dogs! You can date your dog here!

Since it was their opening, I was treated to salted egg chicken wings and carbonara which are only available from their Sta. Lucia branch.

I totally dig their inclusive restroom.

Here I am with the owners, Ajie and Ate Tina, who have already become my close friends.

Their doggo treats are reasonably priced.

They also offer made-to-order doggo cakes!

Finally, here are a couple of pictures with Bern, the main girlboss begins Barkin’ Blends. She’s wearing my Christmas present, a cowl which I have knitted for her.

I also got to cuddle their resident doggos, like my favorite Ella.

For dessert, I dropped by their neighbor, Elait.

They are known for their deaf crew and frozen yogurt and custard.

Later that night, I had soup and fishcake from Korean joint Samjin Amook.

I also had shawarma bratwurst and rice near SM Hypermarket.

I capped off my day with Bayani Brew...

I will definitely go back to all the places I’ve been to yesterday, especially Barkin’ Blends and Elait! See you again soon!
