It was my cousin who told me about a dog cafe called Barkin' Blends. They said there are lots of dogs of different breeds there. We like dogs, we keep at least one at home. So when I heard about this 'dog cafe', I got excited! All of us did! So it was decided then what our next stop would be... (^_^)
Barkin' Blends Dog Cafe is located in Katipunan, near McDonald's and Shakeys. It is on the second floor of a commercial building. We knew we were in the right place because we saw posters of dogs there. When we finally saw the doors to the cafe, I was like, "Alright! here are the dogs?" Hehehe~
Unlike the usual coffee shop, Barkin' Blends has two separate zones. The human zone with where you can eat and drink and also pay for the entrance fee to the dog zone. The dog zone is, of course, where the dogs are. Food is not allowed there, but drinks are.

We first entered the Human Zone to settle our payments. The first thing I noticed were the cute cupcakes with icing shaped like dogs.

Moments later, our drinks arrived, delivered straight from the Human Zone! I didn't expect much from the drinks, but wow! The presentation was very impressive!

There were paintings on a wall, depicting the dogs in an artistic manner. Those were cute, too. On one side was a poster of all the dogs. And on another was a poster of dog breeds.

The more I enjoyed playing with the dogs, the faster time went. I couldn't believe my two hours was up. Back in the human zone, I went to look for the souvenir display. Photos of the dogs printed in keychains, mugs, tumblers, magnets, and puzzles were for sale. I wanted a magnet or a keychain with Skye's picture on it. But there was none. Huhuhu~

Oh well... maybe next time, there will be. I guess I'd just have to go back soon. I have taken a liking on the place, not just on the dogs, but on the coffee, too. (^_^)
