We’re so excited to finally share what we’ve been dreaming about and working toward!
Pugs And Mugs Café is coming to Arcade, NY — but we’re starting small, with love, and one step at a time.
Our Gentle Beginning
Because our starter space is modest, we’ve decided to launch in the most joyful way possible: by sharing our own beloved pugs with the community. In the beginning, Pugs And Mugs will focus on:
- Meet & Greets with our personal pugs
- Storybook readings and cozy pug-themed events
- Building a warm, welcoming space for pug lovers
- Selling pug-inspired merchandise through our online shop (and eventually in-person)
This slower, more personal start allows us to create a safe and happy environment while we learn, grow, and prepare for the next phases.
What’s Coming Next
Once we’re settled, we plan to expand by offering fostering and adoption support for rescue pugs. Eventually, we hope to open the full café experience next door — with completely separate spaces for the pugs and the food & drinks to ensure the highest standards of cleanliness and comfort for everyone.
We believe starting with our own pugs and community meet-and-greets is the perfect way to build a strong foundation for the bigger mission ahead.
Come Say Hello to Our Pugs
Our own wrinkly crew is beyond excited to start making new friends! Whether you want to read stories with them, get some pug cuddles, or simply enjoy the cozy atmosphere, we can’t wait to welcome you.
Keep an eye on our social media for upcoming meet & greet dates and storybook sessions once we open.
Support the Dream Through Our Online Shop
While we prepare our physical space in Arcade, you can support Pugs And Mugs right now by shopping our Shopify store.
Every mug, t-shirt, hoodie, and pug-themed item you purchase helps us bring this vision to life — from outfitting the space to preparing for future rescue work.
Join Our Journey
This is just the beginning of something very special, and we’d love for you to be part of it.
