The Gentlemen Baristas in London is partnering with pet food brand Lily’s Kitchen to invite those with four legged friends for special treatment this International Dog Day, Friday 26th August.
From Piccadilly to Southwark all The Gentlemen Baristas’ guests with woofers will be greeted with a barista-made drink of their choice, delicious dog treats and a doggie bag, to celebrate International Dog Day and help raise awareness about the number of dogs that need to be rescued each year, particularly since the rise of lockdown pets.
Doggie bags include a pack of the baristas’ NEW Deerstalker, 100% home compostable, Nespresso® compatible, specialty coffee pods, meaning you can now enjoy your favourite coffee at home, with more taste and less waste. The original house blend has tasting notes of milk chocolate, nougat and hazelnut.
The gifts for four-legged friends include Lily’s Kitchen goodies, including: an On The Go Mealtime Bar, complete, proper nutrition in a handy bar format that fits neatly in your back pocket, Breaktime Biscuits, the perfect pre-lunch pick me up, a pack of Meaty Treats, and a tasty wet food complete meal.
The Gentlemen Baristas, coffee culture custodians, with 10 houses across the capital and a roastery, believe customers are never an inconvenience. Whether your dog has become your new working from home buddy, or take to work buddy, this is a chance to drop in and celebrate with them.
In fact, because The Gentlemen Baristas like to do things differently, the well-mannered hosts will also be providing complimentary poo bags to boot for dogs on the go.
Ed Parkes, Director and co-founder of The Gentlemen Baristas comments; “Our coffee house managers remember all their regular’s names and know half the dogs about town!
“We want to show our appreciation and give something back to the community, whether it’s a hot cup of coffee and OTG treat for your morning walk or Breaktime Biscuit for your pooch, while you snuggle up on the sofa at home with a cuppa – it’s on the house.”
Samantha Crossley, Marketing Director at Lily’s Kitchen, says: “At Lily’s Kitchen we have always believed that four legged friends are part of the family. So, whether you’re out and about in London on an adventure or simply taking your usual morning stroll, pop by your local Gentleman Baristas on International Dog Day to enjoy a complimentary coffee for you and some Lily’s Kitchen treats for your woofer.”
Henry Ayers, Co-Founder and Director of Wholesale added: “We believe superb coffee is for everyone, our house or yours, and just like Lily’s Kitchen, we believe every dog deserves proper food, even on the go.”
The Gentlemen Baristas latest coffee house opened at Marble Arch Place, at the base of the commercial building 5 Marble Arch, opening onto a new public realm connecting the park to Marylebone. Other coffee house locations include a flagship in Piccadilly, Mayfair, No. 63 and no.171 Union Street Borough, Park Street in London Bridge, Holborn, Hammersmith and East India.
