Cuppa Pug is a themed cafe where visitors can book a session with resident pugs. This is one of…read moreseveral locations including London (England), Manchester (England), Edinburgh (Scotland), Brighton (England), Escondido (California), and Frisco (Texas). [Parking]: Free private parking lot with plenty of available spots. [Reservation & Price]: Our party booked an advanced one-hour reservation session on the website from 4 PM to 5 PM on a Saturday. The price is $20 + $0.51 booking fee per adult (ages 16+) for a one-hour session. [Experience]: Our party checked in at the front counter and hung out in the waiting area. The waiting area sells various pug merchandise and also has a touchscreen pinball machine. There is a unisex restroom available. Once our party stepped into a separate pink & clean room, the staff went over instructions on how to handle the pugs. Visitors are allowed to pick up the pugs but cannot carry them while standing. Any pug wearing a pink bandana is available for adoption. Each of us received few free treats to start, but additional treats like pupccino (a small pup cup), sausage treats, or fruit cups are available for purchase. The staff was friendly and was playing fun & energetic background music during the pug session. Our party didn't stay for the entire hour and left around the 45-minute mark because we had a dinner plan afterward. [Conclusion]: Our party had fun playing with the pugs and took plenty of photos. It was a fun and Instagrammable experience & I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who's visiting the Escondido area.

My dog passed and I'm not ready to get another one yet. But having one of the pugs come up to me…read moreand sit in my lap felt healing and gave a boost to my mood that I had really needed. The beginning can be a bit chaotic and goofy as the pugs storm out of the entrance to the music Who Let the Dogs Out. Some of the dogs get a bit too excited and pee on something a minute or two out of the gate. Eventually things can settle down if you have the right people in your group, and they find a spot to curl up together on the different beds available or on your lap. They give you a couple treats to give the pugs, but those go quick. If you want to give them anymore you'll need to purchase them with a staff member who will offer you some options about halfway through. The group in the hour before me was having a birthday party for a toddler. I thought that was a creative idea. Another person seemed to have brought her own pug to socialize with the other pugs there. They seem like a very social breed and were very friendly. Overall a fun memorable experience for those who like dogs.

Though for many fans that walked in they loved it. I noticed some people just came in for a photo op and walked right out. Now the food, I had fried rice because there's nothing vegetarian on the menu, or at least nothing I noticed other than fries or fried rice. At my table there was popcorn chicken, a chicken sandwich, a burger and chicken cutlet over rice. All the dishes have a themed name which I don't remember. For the most part everyone enjoyed their plates except for the popcorn chicken it was said to be too spicy (seasoning not heat), salty and hard.

At times they made comments that were rather rude. I do not think it was on purpose, but this would be an easy way for the experience to go from a 2 to a 4 or 5, they need to work on being more friendly, and more welcoming. I see in looking at other reviews the somewhat rude / standoffish staff issues are a frequent complaint and seem to not have been addressed.

The decor throughout the space as well as the presentation of the food and drinks were really cute and made the afternoon tea experience more enjoyable.

They have you take off your shoes but they have a some "socks" for ya and a shoe rack and a place to hang your purses. They really do care for these kitties so much and do so much work to help socialize them. Thumper was their newest cat when I got there and so if you see them please give them a huge cuddle! I love that they let the cats in the bathroom if they wanna hide or get some space (so put the toilet seat down!) What a great place to relax with kitties or come with some friends for a hangout

DOPE BAR (5 stars)…read more - VIBE CHECK: pass - AMBIANCE: chill - SERVICE: friendly Very cool spot. Came here for a hang session mid-afternoon with the homies and had a good time! They have a built in DJ Booth likely for their house DJ but this event organizers hired another DJ group to play the jams and they were used the booth. The space is right in downtown Chula with an opening to outside, some cushion couches with tables, and more tables towards the back. They do serve beverages and some food but the food is very limited. My social circle and I are at that age where we don't really drink to socialize, nor go out late to bars to socialize, we either have get togethers at each others homes do a bbq/potluck and play games, or we out doing something during the day. It's nice that a place like this was open mid-afternoon for a chill session without the hassle. LEMONADE ($3) - average but satisfied the craving. Until the next review...

Tender Hooligan has been in business since 2024 and it's known for its unique blend of high-fidelity vinyl listening, specialty coffee, craft beer, and cocktails. The audiophile cafe and bar is located next door to La Pesca Cevicheria on Third Ave. We had a 45 minute wait time for dinner at La Pesca and ordered a few drinks while we waited for table. Tender Hooligan functions as a community hub with a record store, themed spaces, and events like live music and game nights, offering a cozy, eclectic atmosphere for working, socializing, or enjoying music. The menu features unique drinks like the Ube Espresso and Jeepney Latte, alongside food and a selection of soju cocktails. I ordered a beer michelada. It's such a fun hangout check it out!!

We've been wanting to check out Long Play Hi-Fi for a while, and after finally finding it (which is…read morepart of the experience ).. It's got this hidden, almost speakeasy vibe. You ring the doorbell, wait patiently, and once you're inside, you realize this isn't your typical coffee shop. It's a place to slow down, enjoy the music, and savor your drink. Monique and Danica were both amazing. They're warm, welcoming, and you can really see the passion behind what they do. Danica is also the DJ, and her eclectic playlist made the whole experience even better. One of my favorite parts was just sitting there watching our drinks being made. You can see the care and craft that goes into every cup...even the Kuramoto ice is beautiful. The Matcha Americano completely changed my perception of matcha. The Kyoto cold brew pour-over was fascinating to watch and incredibly smooth. We loved it so much that we came back the very next day. This time I had the Midori, and my brother-in-law loved the Highball, especially the yuzu. No laptops. Trust the DJ. Drinks are meant to be enjoyed fresh, so take your time. If you're looking for a quick coffee run, this isn't it. But if you appreciate great coffee, good music, and people who are passionate about their craft, Long Play Hi-Fi is absolutely worth the visit.
