K-9’s and Coffee? What a convenient and cool summer idea! And, it’s so close.

“Bring your pup and grab a cup!” Tea with Fido? Yes!

You can take your pupster to Tiki’ s Playhouse (founded 2008) for free play on Saturday mornings and grab a cup, then sit on the back deck and watch the dogs have a ball in one of three grassy areas!

Sip on the back deck and watch the dogs play

K-9’s &Coffee has been open for business since 2014 and serves tea, coffee, muffins, cookies, and dog biscuits, of course! Monday through Friday from 6:30 am to noon and Saturday from 7:30 am to noon. I had the best chai latte EVER!

Love Coffee AND Love Dogs? No Problem!

Connections to the main ‘house’ at Kelvin Abrams’ Tiki’s Playhouse (the dog boarding and daycare facility) by an inside door and outside deck means you can drop off your dog and watch the fun with a cup of coffee while he plays in a huge half-acre canine playground.

(Just don’t feel like exercising Fido on a Saturday morning? Let Tiki do it!)

The coffee is organic and free-trade from Columbia’s own roasting company, Orinoco Coffee & Tea. Cookies and muffins are vegan and the tea (along with all the libations) are named after client-dogs and come in three different sizes: 12oz. Bulldog, 16oz. Weimaraner, and 20oz. Mastiff. You can even get it super sized.

Meet Chester, a Latte. Have a Matcha Tea – Madeline. Or nurse a brewed coffee called Brodie.

Where?

Located in Glenelg, MD, just off Route 32 between Clarksville and the Howard County Fairgrounds (and just down the street from a veterinarian) at 3830 Ten Oaks Road, Tiki’s is either right down the road from you or a pleasant short drive in the country. (It’s the old Eyre place - you know, the bus people – and a lovely house.)

Make a Saturday Date with Your Dog

Bring your dog to play with others and then relax with ‘a cuppa from the café’ – with Fido. For more information on Tiki’s Playhouse Weekend Playground, click here.

Not your typical dog park, Tiki’s on Saturday is like a private playdate!

PS – the canine is optional if you are currently dogless or if your Fido is tuckered out already. I brought my grandmother for a fun outing.

PPS – Tiki can also have your order ready if you call ahead. Tiki will even ship their Orinoco coffee for you and stocks great dog food, dog training treats and everything else your dog needs and wants in the gift shop. Check it out!
