What’s the one thing we at Sprudge have always said pairs well with specialty coffee? That’s right, say it with me now: luxury pet care. It makes sense if you think about it. Coffee is a little treat for you, a human. But humans are the only things that love treats. Dogs do too. And what is more of a treat than a trip to the day spa? Maybe coffee and a trip to the day spa?
Thus there is The Collar Club, a new luxury boutique dog spa in West Hollywood that has teamed up with Intelligentsia to create “Los Angeles’ first-ever dog-centric cafe.”
Per the press release, the “exclusive partnership” with the Chicago-based coffee roaster “marks the first time Intelligentsia has partnered with another brand to create a dedicated coffee experience.” So what is The Collar Club exactly? It’s a lot of things. As previously mentioned it’s a luxury pet care facility and boutique dog with a “curated retail” selection as well as an “exclusive dog park” known as Central Bark, which is admittedly a good name for a dog park, though I’m sure the national pet care chain by the same name may disagree with this particular usage. And it’s a full-service espresso bar created by Intelligentsia.
On order at coffee bar inside The Collar Club is and “exclusive seasonal menu to the cafe, including signature espresso drinks, rotating single-origin offerings, and locally sourced pastries—all crafted with the same attention to detail that made Intelligentsia a national name.”
Have I mentioned that it’s exclusive? Because that’s important. By which of course I mean that you have to apply for membership and if you are lucky enough to be accepted you’ve earned the right to pay anywhere between $75 and $500 a month.
The Collar Club is scheduled to open to the public later this month. So stop on by The Collar Club to get your pet a Whitening while you sip on a flat white, or a Blackening while you get a black coffee. And maybe you can each get a 10-minutes Exfoliating Blueberry Facial because nowhere on the Spa Treatment list does it say that a human can’t also get a blueberry facial and YOU WILL HAVE TO CALL THE COPS IF YOU WANT ME TO LEAVE BEFORE YOU HAVE EXFOLIATED ME AND POOCHUMS.
