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.

All the pugs were precious and adorable and the hour we had with them was such a delight! A lot of them were excited to play while others just wanted to chill in their little beds or on your lap. I could tell all these pugs were really well cared for and that the staff were invested in their well-being and happiness, so it felt good to know all parties were having a good time during the whole session! Also, I recommend buying some extra treats for the middle of the session as the whole atmosphere changes during treat time!

On our way home from our mini vacation today was the perfect day to stop by as it's a weekday and there wasn't much/ hardly any traffic we around just past 1030am and found metered parking near by immediately. When we arrived there were no other customers we got to take pictures of and with the house and motorcycle. I'm not much of a pie person the only pie I usually eat is pumpkin but I was open to any other pastries they offered. My husband wanted to try the pies and I ended up ordering my sister some to take back home. We ordered 2 sets of the 3pack. One order all apple pie the other was cherry, apple and a blueberry. I also added a dark chocolate brownie and lemon bar. As my order was ready and called the kind lady said she labeled everything and added some extra. We walked on the boardwalk for a few minutes then walked back to eat our pies at their outside cover patio. Saw that she gave us an extra 4pies!! That was so generous. I decided to give them all a try and oh my... they were all delicious. It was warm, the crust was alittle flakey it had a nice little crunch yet also soft and the crust flavor was SO delicious. Loved that the flavors were not overwhelming sweet! The dark chocolate brownie and the lemon bar were cold and didn't think anything special about it a bit in the sweeter side. Overall it was a great experience really enjoyed the pies and the service was amazing!

I see in looking at other reviews the somewhat rude / standoffish staff issues are a frequent complaint and seem to not have been addressed.

We had the burger (juicy, flavorful), Mexican Caesar (best i've ever had- the dressing was perfect), and chicken tenders (lightly breaded and great seasoning). The portions were generous which was great for our family of 4. The cider is top notch. Best we've ever had. You can tell there is a lot of care and expertise in their craft! Lara, the owner/creator/cider queen is so knowledgable about all things cider, San Diego (native), and design. The building is the most thoughtfully designed and artistic dining/social space we've been in in the U.S. ask about the yurt wall, the mapping on the countertops, and the vintage pieces carefully placed throughout the building. Maybe the coolest bathrooms ever?!? Each has a different design. The blue Matisse is a personal fave We only wish we lived close by. This would be a great remote work spot and event gathering space.

Tickets were purchased on-line, they allowed an hour beforehand to mingling. The layout was a little different from the last event I attended but it still felt intimate and cozy. I greeted friends, grabbed a NA bevie some mango deliciousness and parked my bottom at the closest table. The speakers topic was Crayons over Constitution so she provided us with blank poster board and crayons to doodle which I was totally happy to partake in. Mid presentation, I grabbed the other NA bevie, fruit punch of some sort. It was a wee bit too sweet for me, I should have gotten the mango bevie again but you never know what you'll like of you don't new things right? The event was incredible, I already requested to host to book her again. The venue is really awesome for small group events. I got to meet the manager/owner at the end of the evening and she was delightful!

Also, they make this tahini cacao chip cookie that is gluten free & maple sweetened that I made them look up the ingredients to prove they are not made with crack, they are so addictive (no crack or nut flours for the nut allergen/sensitive crowd!) And of course, the cacao drinks. They are made with water but are still creamy? Not like your standard super sweet hot chocolate, but pleasantly sweet but still pleasantly bitter. Of course, you can get it made with milk & a marshmallow because heck yeah, but the standard ceremonial presentation is still quite delicious & lovely. The vibes are impeccable. Female centered, but not exclusionary; white without being sterile.

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 got everything in it, and added avocado for $1. The peperoncini was free to add on the side. The sandwich was yum, but for $7, it is the best I've ever eaten. Service: 4.5/5 The person who took our order was so kind, offering us water when we didn't order any drinks and making sure we needed nothing else while we ate. Atmosphere: 4.5/5 It's so so cozy in here! I think it turns into a bar after dark, and the place is the right ambiance for both AM and PM. It was decently packed, and there are games to borrow! I would recommend this place for a casual lunch, a coffee run, or a third-space hang out. Amazing, no notes. Final rating: 4.67/5 (rounding up to 5 on Yelp)

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.

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.
