Update: CuBs & CuPs no longer has resident dogs Mocha, Cola, Nacho and Mochi (they're enjoying life at home instead of greeting customers at the café). The café remains a pet-friendly venue so you can still bring your pooch here.

Owned by Korean partners David Son and Liz Kim, CuBs & CuPs in Desa Sri Hartamas attracts a good crowd of pet owners and those eager to hug resident dogs Cola the Siberian Husky and Mocha the Alaskan Malamute. Nacho the little Pomeranian and new face Mochi the Japanese Spitz trot around the café and sniff other dogs, and if you’re lucky, they’ll show you some affection too. We like that self-service and cleanliness are emphasised here, so that means ordering at the counter and getting your own cutlery, serviettes and condiments from a clearly marked cabinet. The same self-service rule also applies to cleaning up after your own dog (which you can bring here), and if you’re worried about only having a pack of tissues, the well-equipped cleaning station at the back of the café will help.
Food-wise, there’s the usual café fare, as well as bingsu for dessert. Take note that food prices are a little on the steep side, but if you can get over the RM25 price tag, the churros waffles come highly recommended. If you feel that your pooch will be left out while you’re having your meal, order a bowl from the dog menu and voila, you and your dog can enjoy mealtime together. Also, remember to bolt the café door when you enter and exit so the dogs won’t sprint out.
