Today I went with a friend to a dog café!
These kinds of pet cafés are pretty popular in Korea. The concept is pretty simple: enjoy a cup of coffee while playing with the resident dogs, or bring your own!
I went with my friend Erin, who’d found the place (located in Hongdae) online. It’s called “BAU HOUSE” – a clever play on words from Bauhaus.
I’d read online that the coffee would be pretty expensive, as it essentially acts as your admission fee. One Americano will set you back around $6, but the fun atmosphere is worth it!
The main area of Bau House
The dogs would even walk up on the railing!
Just chillin’!
Two dogs came to vissit after they saw Erin with snacks!
Erin doing “shake a paw!!” with the big dog
Me feeding some of the dogs!
This dog came up to Erin wanting to play fetch!
The resident dogs at Bau House
This dog was a bit strange
…Or maybe he was just too tired!
Loved this little furball!
Erin and I loved this dog – he (or she) looked so regal! He was sitting on that stool so still, calm and composed for at least 20 or 30 minutes ^^
The little guy again!
He was sniffing my camera ^^
A cozy spot under the cash register!
One of the other customers’ dogs; looks like this little guy had enough fun for today!
Loved this dog!
