Cubs & Cups in Hartamas - Roaming Free

Last Visited: 12 September 2015

Cubs & Cups, Desa Sri Hartamas

Only 4 months old, this corner shoplot hidden just behind Souled Out in Hartamas has acquired a faithful following of dog lovers. 

Bella sulking cos no one came to play with her....

Welcome to cuBs & cuPs!

One of the few dog-friendly restaurants that allow pets to room freely inside the restaurant, it is run by a friendly Korean couple who have 3 dogs of their own. Resident puppies, Cola the Husky, Mocha the Alaskan Malamute and Nacho the Pomeranian will bark a friendly welcome to all and sundry. However, due to Mocha & Nachos young age, they are usually kept separate from the main cafe floor. 

Sleeping Cola

Dog owners who allow their dogs to wander freely are expected to keep any eye on your pups and clean up after any mess. Cleaning supplies (mop,cloth,soap,etc.) are provided at the back of the shop.

House Rules!

Our first visit here in June this year saw a simple set-up where patrons ordered and collected their own drinks at the counter. However, food would be delivered to your table by the friendly (and cute) Korean waitresses. Even just 2 weeks after opening, there was a steady stream of customers to the cafe. 

French Toast. Can't remember much about it so it must have been alright but not the best around. 

C&C's version of Big Breakfast. Simple & filling. 

 
Our most recent visit on 11 September saw an increase in the number of waiters (increase in cute Korean guys! Ladies, rejoice!) and an expansion to their menu to include a selection of juices & waffles. 

Hot Mocha. Good enough to order on your second visit. 

The Saturday night visit saw us bumping into a lot of poodles, 2 excited Golden Retrievers and an adorable Samoyed. I admit, I was a total girl and squealed over them (Samoyed! big fluffy white bear dog!)  the whole night... 

Mocha in June 2015.... Soooo cute you just want to pick her up and Squeeze!

What Was Our Verdict? 

Atmosphere :  Expect lots of smaller toy dogs running around. It's a simple layout with minimal decor so not really a place for the Instagramming crowd. 

Coffee :  Decent, but nothing to shout about. 

Waiting Time  :   Expect mad rush hours on Saturday & Sundays between 12-5pm. Waiting time increases drastically as the kitchen staff struggle to handle the high number of customers. However, other hours (dinnertime usually and weekdays) show a reasonable service time. 

Food  :  Pizza and pastas are pretty good. We recently tried the Churro Waffles which we found too oily to finish. 

Price   :  RM20-35. Not cheap but you pay for the luxury of having your dog run around

Staff & Overall Receptiveness to Bella   :  All the staff are Korean so expect plenty of eye candy for both the men and ladies. They recognise and adore Bella so thumbs up! 

Overall :   Good, will definitely be back again, if only to play with the resident pups! But do try to avoid rush hours. If possible, reach there by 11am (on weekends) or finding a table will be nigh impossible.

Pets Welcome, People... tolerated !
