    PUGS!!! My favorite breed ever. I've always dreamed of owning a pug (and hopefully I will soon). So my sis knew this was a must-visit for my bachelorette weekend. Reserving your spot was smooth and easy via their website. It's $30 per person and you get one hour to mingle, pet, snuggle and even feed treats (at a small additional fee) to these adorable adult sized pugs. We booked a 12pm time slot on Friday and we ended up to be the only group (4 of us total) there. It felt so special to only have just myself and my girls with a room full of adorable furry puggies..like it was a private session! One big room and there's toys you can play fetch with. I'll tell you this...these pugs are VERY food driven so they'll only be concerned what kind of food/treat you have in your hands versus what toy you are holding. There's always going to be supervision by their employees. They're all so friendly and will answer any questions you may have or help you take plenty of pics. I don't think they serve any beverages. And unfortunately the day we were there, there's no bathroom available. Yes, they'll provide hand sanitizer and wet wipes but still...it just feels better washing your hands with good ol water & soap. They also sell all pug related knick-knacks so I bought a small green 3D printed pug figurine to commemorate how much fun I had! Core memories for sure! Thank you, Cuppapug!

    This was a great place to come! Loved all the pugs, they were so cute! They were playing everywhere and as soon as they let them out, BOOM, they were released! Jumping on you waiting for those treats!

    I was so happy to come visit Cuppa Pug in person! I had seen their Instagram posts several times after a friend showed me, and my friend in Europe had recently visited that location. Steven completely surprised me and brought me here on a recent Sunday. I was so shocked and happy! I saw staff arrive and start bringing them in. I was happy to know that they do not live at the facility itself. I have also heard that some dogs are up for adoption. We once had a Pug named Dewey, our only puppy of all the dogs we had, and he was such a treat. He was so unique, fun and full of life. We lost him in 2019 and miss him terribly. It was so nice to come here and be in Pug heaven for an hour. One of my favorite parts was seeing them bulldoze through the gate in the beginning and to watch a herd of Pugs running around the facility. They came and plopped on several laps, Steven included. They had fawn pugs, black pugs, multi colored pugs, pug mixes, and even a pug puppy! If you know Pugs, you know they like to eat, much more than a lot of breeds. So, I am pretty sure since they know the routine, they were already looking for people with food so I was not getting Pug love initially. The staff will ask if you would like to purchase a Puggachinno, sausages, or strawberries for only $3 a cup. It is limited to one cup per person, so these very hungry dogs don't over eat too much throughout the day with all the visitors. The staff also will take your payment there and bring the food to you so you don't have to leave the Pugs for a minute. As the orders started coming in, the Pugs followed the staff around like Pig-Pen's dusty cloud in the Peanuts gang! It was a crack up. So needless to say, as people were feeding them they were most likely to have the whole herd. We knew our time was coming. I ordered a cup of sausages (hot dogs) and Steven ordered a Puggachinno. We must have had about fifteen Pugs (Literally!) climbing all over us front and center, behind us, and everything. I had one climbing on my shoulder and many more pawing at me. I almost lost my cup of hot dogs at one point! Tip: I suggest wearing long sleeves. I did not and I came home with some scratches from the eager hungry pug puppies. We played around with them once everyone had their turn of donating food, and they mellowed out. They even had a mini ball pit. The staff is on top of cleaning up after the pugs, and helping with everyone during their visit. You can tell the pugs are happy and receive a great deal of care. I really appreciated Steven surprising me and bringing me here. It really made my day. Also the staff was wonderful the whole time.

    My child loves pugs!!! We lost, due to geriatric age, our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel a little over a year ago and while my kid's and I loved her and miss her immensely- my son also has adored pugs much of his life. Is it the size or maybe or the squishy face? I honestly don't know. So when I was asked me when I could make time to visit at least one or two places he'd like to go - I was on it. I made a whole day of everything for him which I know he appreciated. The facility was clean and it was apparent that all the pugs and or mixed pugs are happy, healthy, and well-kept. We had such a great time for the hour we go spend with them - especially knowing any money they aquire not only goes towards maintenance of the facility but also towards the care of this adorable dogs.

    My friend loves pugs and I thought I'd surprise her for her birthday with a visit to our first Pug Cafe in San Diego! To those with other pugs or dogs, this place does give discount if you bring your own. The owner of this place owns all the pugs and these pugs are well socialized and taken care of. Before entering in there's an area of where you can purchase drinks/snacks. I didn't get a chance to ask what they had because the entrance of check in was crowded with people. Once our check in time starts, we just confirm our names. There wasn't too much people so it seemed like everyone got their chance to interact with the dogs. Also there's also a smaller area where you get to meet and socialize with the dogs/puppies privately but this is a different price range. Before entering the space, we're given instructions of how to interact with the dogs and a safe way to do so. I like how the space is large enough for the dogs to run around. So you can just sit anywhere and hope the dogs will want to come to you. Once we were seated in a spot we like, we were all given tiny pieces of carrots for when the dogs get released to the open space. These dogs are very much food driven, so highly suggest ordering some pup snacks or pup cup to attract them even more. One thing we didn't get to do was purchase the pup snacks/cup. They do give us an option while inside if we wanted to purchase but we skipped it. Some would still approach you though but don't expect them to stay chilling with you long. There were a few that were very chill, could be because they might've had enough interaction before and just wanted to relax. And if there was a dog you wanted to hold, the owner and staffs would be gladly kind enough to get the dog for you to hold and play with. But again just don't expect the dogs to want to stay still for long. Lol. However you can move around to find a better spot to attract them. Such a cute spot for pug/dog lovers! And very much a serotonin boosts just seeing them run around happily. **EDIT: Forgot to mention reservations have to be made online. Which was something I did weeks prior & you can choose a slot time.**

    This was the best serotonin boost! The space was super clean, the staff were all so kind to us and the pups, and the pupaccinos were the cutest touch. They cleaned up after the pups so swiftly and made it such a great experience. It was my turn to plan date day and it was EVERYTHING! I loved this one pug named Peter

    I'm in puggie paradise!!! :) I got to live out my puggie paradise dream when I visited Cuppa Pug. I first found out about this place on TikTok, and I was going to go to SoCal for my solo trip so I made it a point to come visit here. Booking was very easy online on their website. There were plenty of pugs to interact with the small group that I was in with during my time slot which I chose 4pm, if I remember correctly. The pugs were super cute, and get very energetic when there is food present. My favorite pug was Pickles as he was such a sweet and cuddly baby. The staff are friendly and helpful. Parking was pretty easy as there is a parking lot outside the building. I absolutely love the pink decor and the different items in the room. We got to see a puggie riding the beautiful car. Sooo cool! I would definitely come visit again the next time I'm in SoCal area. :)

    Me and bruno!!!!!! Please take him home and love him!

    Amazing! Adorable! fun! The one hour went by soooo fast! Clean! Doesn't smell like dirty dogs. was surprised that the pugs didn't shed all over my clothing. The excitement starts when all the pugs start running through the door. play and cuddle until treat time. U can buy a puppaccino, sausage treat or fruit cup to give the pugs during the treat party! The workers are awesome and tell you about the pugs available for adoption. U need to come here. I'm in love!

    Little guy took a cute nap.

    THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. The staff was friendly. You wait in a room and then get rushed by a heard of pugs. I they are all so cute and different. Some pugs are available for adoption. If you love dogs, it's a perfect place for a date.

    We found this gym on Instagram earlier this year. It has been on our bucket list. We finally had some time during a fall break, and drove down to the area to experience. Scheduling was pretty easy and done. Online ahead of time, I really enjoy that you can see how many people are going to be in the group, so you can try to be in a group with a lot of people, so it's very social. Or you can try and be with almost no Buddy. The staff was really professional, polite, and really passionate about what they do. The owners were present and also equally kind and helpful. They're working on really making the café aspect of it bigger parts, however, it wasn't really set up so much when we were there. We definitely plan to return again and have told so many people about this place. Their mission is really fantastic and I wish them continued success.

    Such an amazing time at Cuppa Pug! I came on a Sunday at 5pm and all the pugs were sleepy, but this meant it was cuddle time! At this time it's likely that there will be a pug snoring on your lap. The staff told me that the pugs have much more energy at the beginning of the day. But they always have energy when there's treats! The staff were incredibly welcoming. Very nice people and made my time there extra enjoyable! It was very clean (as clean as it gets) and well managed. It was an hour for $30 and at 45 minutes they offer treats for the pugs ranging from $2-4. Make sure to book online ahead of time! I booked the day of but thats because I chose a day and time with a bunch of open slots. Easy parking as there's a parking lot right next to the building. Overall amazing experience and I would come again! The pugs were so adorable! I'd say there was around 20 pugs.

    If you love dog cuddles and kisses Cuppapug is for you! It's so fun watching a dozen pugs stampede into a room ready to play! The pugs are obviously well cared for and loved, the facility is super clean and the staff is so awesome. If you're interested in adopting, process seems to be focused on finding the dogs the best family possible. I will come back every time I'm in the area!

    This is the place to come for some pugs therapy if you want to bury your face getting smooches from endless pugs. I had such a great time here with my friend and it was so fun seeing so many pugs just running around, begging for treats and you are allowed to hold the pugs to your hearts content. I love how the store keepers will go around to make sure everyone gets a pug to hold so you won't feel left out. If you bring your own pug, you get 50% off of admission. Otherwise, it's $30 per person for 1 hour. A wonderful place to bring adults and kids alike, just giggling the whole time seeing their smushed faces with loopy tongues trolling around the cafe.

    Maybe don't wear dangling earrings...

    Ask the Community - Cuppa Pug

    What is the name of the small black pug and the only one with a black harness? He or she was so cute!

    It's a She and her name is Moe👍

    Are there restrooms?

    Yes there are.

    Are there pet adoption available?

    We often have pugs that we have fostered that you can apply to adopt when you visit the cafe, this isn't all the time, but as and when they come to us. Any pug in a pink bandana is available to apply to adopt.

    Do they accept walk-ins or is a reservation required?

    We do accept walk-ins, but it's always best to make a reservation just in case the session is fully booked. Sessions start on the hour between 11am - 6pm each day.

    Do you have to have a pug to go? Or is it like a cat cafe?

    You don’t need a pug! We have resident pugs that you can come and play with.

Each reservation cost about $24.00. That includes an hour of time with the cats, and a drink/snack from the café per person. My partner got a chai latte, and I grabbed a brown sugar(?) cinnamon roll. Both were very good! Special thank you to the barista for the recommendation and the delicious drink. The play-room itself was very nice, with plenty of seating, toys, and CATS! Even with six other guests in the same hour, there was plenty of everything to go around. As with any group of animals (and people), each had their own personality and preferences. JC stayed perched on the palm tree and loved to get pet. The older Bengal cat didn't like being touched, but was a joy to watch. Tatiana (pictured on the table) was slow to warm up to us, but loved to play with the cat dancer. There were about ten cats altogether. The employee inside clearly cares about each cat. He explained the rules clearly, shared the names and habits of each kitty, and was a pleasant guide. Thanks for a great start to our afternoon! See you again soon.

Most cafes/lounges are in shopping centers and do not have the luxury of such a cool feature. I love how secure the facility is by having multiple doors to keep the cats safe and from getting outside. You can tell that the owners carefully thought out their space and the thing I appreciate the most is that you do not smell the litter boxes. I have been to a couple of cafes that smelled horribly and this is coming from someone that not only has a cat sanctuary in ATX, but I have had cats my entire life and you never smell litter box in my home or in my facility. Whiskers and Wine is a great place to unwind and spend time with beautiful kitties in need of a fur-ever home. I understand that some people do not get the concept of a cat cafe, but in order for them to provide such an incredible service to animals, they still have to pay the bills to house and feed the cats. The biggest take away is that cage free facilities are much better for the cats than when they are kept in cages at the local shelter or other animal rescues. Thank you for a great time and for all that you do to help cats in need!
