Most cafes in Yangon aren’t so friendly to our furry pals, but there are a few places that will welcome doggie guests with open arms and cuddles.
Myanmar Mix scoured the city for the best cafes where you can take your canine companion for a flat white and sandwich. Just don’t expect them to pay.
easy Cafe
This small café in Yaw Min Gyi is popular for its waffles, which have undoubtedly been sampled by the pooches who accompany customers there. The owners themselves have three pugs who can sometimes be seen managing the place.
Address: 30A Bo Yar Nyunt Street, Dagon Township
Tel: 09 262 546 289
Opens: 8am - 8pm
My House Café
This Sanchaung establishment has become a local favourite since opening one year ago. Located inside a two-storey building with cute decorations, it serves reasonably priced burgers, salads, and desserts. But most importantly, I visited there with my friend and his two Pomeranians recently: verified hound haunt.
Address: 57 Minn Street, Sanchaung Township
Opens: 9am - 10pm
Mary’s Breakfast and Brunch Restaurant
Mary’s serves a killer English breakfast, which your four-legged friend can drool over. The owner, Honey Oo, recently returned from a stint in England and welcomes dogs to the mostly outdoor café, based in a little compound near Inya Lake.
Address: 2 Mahar Baw Dhi Street, Yankin Township
Tel: 09 253 071 389
