Fish massage – dipping your hands or feet in the aquarium to let hundreds of fish leech dead cells on the skin is not strange at all, and so is drinking coffee. Yet, the combination of these two activities has created a new wind in Saigon café style called: fish massage café. This massage fish aka doctor fish is Garra Rufa, originated from Turkey (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_fish). After choosing drinks and the table that suits with the number of people (single, double or a group), customers will have their feet washed to clean dust and chemicals and wound covered (if there is one). At first, when the small and soft mouth of the fish touch your legs, the tickling electric-shock-liked feeling might make you startled and hastily pull back your legs, causing the water to splash but soon you will familiarize with it and enjoy it. And it is also advisable that you wear shorts or capri pants for convenience.

Ok, now that I’ve seen all these, I want to try all these!! Except for the reptile one, thanks but no thanks.
I love the idea that coffee is no longer just a drink, it’s an experience! Thanks for sharing
I have heard about Pet cafes sometime ago but you have provided a whole new area of cafes to me. I specially love the garden one and the homestay one they’re so nice. Even the shopping one is awesome – who doesn’t want to enjoy a cuppa while shopping!!
I really love the pet cafe idea that is going around at the moment, I haven’t been to one myself but it is top on my list as something to do one day.
Wow, what an expansive and thorough list!! I want to go to ALL of these. I’ve been to several game board cafes personally and had a blast. The pet cafes sound suuuuuuper fun. The amphibean one would be quite an experience.
Last year I managed to stumble into a cat cafe and I am not big on cats so I wasnt too keen but loved the dog one in Seoul.
the boardgame one looks like a lot of fun! i can’t imagine going to the snake one though lol.
I think board game cafes are so much fun! We have a couple of them here in Toronto. I would love to go to a pet cafe some time since I love animals and don’t have any pets of my own.
Pet cafes sound like such a peaceful and relaxing place to visit, especially when traveling and having to be away from my own fur babies. I’d also want to visit Ciao Café for the ice cream! Yum!
I would love to go to a pet café! Edinburgh as a cat café and I have been dying to go! Would be so cool to stroke a cat while relaxing with a cuppa!
quite creative! when i was in thailand, there is a unicorn coffee shop and a board games shop! always fun and memorable!
I have never been to a cafe that allowed pets before. It would be a fun experience. I will have to look for one in my area.
These sound like some fabulous coffee shops. I don’t like coffee, but I always love these shops because I adore the smell. I usually get a tea and a baked good!
I am astonished at the pet cafes! I have seen board game breweries and coffee shops in bookstores but never have I seen a cafe that has animals in it! This is a great idea and I wish we had a puppy cafe near me…I would be there all day,
I love coffee shops, and these definitely take them to a whole new level! I’m allergic to cats so I’d have to skip that one but I think I could happily spend the whole day with the dogs! The lizard? Not so sure about that!
I find having a pet cafe to be so unconventional. This must be a pet lovers dream. While the pets are dining what do their owners do?
I really loved this blog! I need to to take my dog to the pet cafe. This blog makes Barnes and Noble seem so simple
Pet cafes sound like an interesting idea. I’m kind of a germ-o-phobe, so my first thought was, “Yuck! There’d be pet hair in the food!” Somehow, I’m sure owners have figured out ways to keep that from happening, and I’m sure the visitors find it very relaxing. What a fun idea.
Pets coffee shops are the best. We used to have a cat cafe where I live but the state is so stupid that they shut it down 🙁 But whenever I go to Budapest I stop to their Cat Cafe, I just love it. Animals are the best thing in this world. (I love animals more than humans)
I love to visit the black house coffee. I wanted to try the fish massage.
The pet cafés are the greatest idea ever! I’d love to have my own, it would be a cat cafe! I’d be willing to visit Babo but I don’t think I’ll stay very long!
I had heard of coffee shops such as those you described in your post. Just give me the “regular” coffee shops without all of the commotion 😉
I would absolutely love to visit a cat cafe one day, they sound like such nice places to sit and relax.
I recently saw a pet cafe in my city. I thought it was something new until I googled pet cafe. >.< Great services though.
How cute is this list? I love that there are so many options out there to grab a yummy coffee.
I have heard about Cat Cafe’s from other people before but I have yet to attend one. This is such a neat list.
I didn’t know that they had full on Pet cafes! How cool is that? Would be neat to visit one.
Very unique coffee shops indeed! I think the one that stuck out to me the most was the pet coffee shop! I wonder if anyone ever gets cat hair in their coffee!!
I love the pet cafes here. I think they are pretty awesome. Some very different pets that they have as well. I know that my dog would love for me to have more places to take him.
I generally love the aromatic ambiance of coffee shops and can’t pick one from the list you have here.. i love the pet cafes that’s for sure!
Wow these all sound so cool and amazing! I’m sad I didn’t read the post before I went to Saigon – next time I’ll definitely check some of these out!
I love shops that offer more than just the pick me ups. I really enjoy relaxing with my brew.
What fabulous, unique concepts! I love the Pet Cafe – I’d be there in a heartbeat.
I love this post! I think I’d never get out of the bookcafe or the pet cafe!! 🙂
That’s a lovely feature for these amazing coffee shops! There are some here too. It’s too bad I gave up coffee years ago.
Thanks for summing them all up in one post and found lots of cafes that I wanna visit. I’d definitely like to go to book cafes and also pet cafes like Tokyo Pet Center.
Pet cafes are the trend now. It looks fun and exciting to visit. I would be happy to visit a book cafes!
I love the idea of having pets around. Although I know some would disagree, I think that having a cat or dog with you is so much more relaxing. They just are a comfort to be around. I also love the book cafes. Sitting back with a great read while sipping coffee is just heaven to me!
These are all worth checking out! Coffee is definitely something to experience and these cafes would be so nice to go to.
We are so deprived here in Georgia lol. I don’t have one single coffee shop in my area. I’m going to have to plan a vacation there so I can check some of these out.
Gone are those days where coffee shops are places to just enjoy the coffee. Maybe are becoming so creative to make their shops belongs to a community. Love these concepts!
Pet Cafes are really in today! I visited one in Seoul! Hope to visit the list above in Vietnam.
These shops sounds like they are amazing. It’s great when a cup of coffee is more than just a rush and go.
All of these are so neat! I never knew that there were coffee shops like this out there.
While these are pretty unusual and unique, there is no way I would have coffee at a cafe where pets and animals are able to roam freely. Yulk! But interesting!
Black house coffee has such beautiful decor. I love amazing interior designs!
How cool are these?! I didn’t know there were so many pet friendly coffee shops out there!
