Where to sip coffee worry-free with your furry friend in tow
Why would anyone want to leave their pooch at home while going out to get brunch? Pet owners may be surprised to see that Bangkok is starting to warm up to the idea of pet-friendly places. More cafés and restaurants are allowing pets, so you can bond with your best friend somewhere other than the limited-in-number dog parks. Here are a few places we recommend for dining with your furry-faced companions.
1/6 D’Ark at Emquartier
At The EmQuartier, D’Ark is an all-day dining destination. Sit out front with your pooch and watch a waterfall cascade down the side of the mall. Enjoy homemade dishes like Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict, Quinoa Sushi Bowl, Mentaiko Spaghetti and—for caffeine fiends—indulge in coffee drinks like Dirty Moonlight, Iced Americano, or Dalgona.
D’Ark at Emquartier
G/F, The EmQuartier, 651 Sukhumvit Road
Open Monday-Thursday 7:30am-10pm, Friday-Sunday 7:30am-11pm

Housed in a 50s-era shophouse, Luka Bangkok is the ultimate neighborhood cafe on Pan Road serving nostalgic fare made with local, sustainable ingredients. Coffee is meticulously brewed, and tea is blended in-house. It’s a great hotspot for you and your pet, with a polished concrete floor indoors designed for your pet to cool off from the Bangkok heat.
