"I'm excited about Pucci, a bougie new dog cafe and pet boutique set to open later this fall at 23501 Cinco Ranch Boulevard inside the LaCenterra development; inspired by European cafes where dogs are welcomed, it aims for a luxe, high-end feel and is being designed by gin design group. The space will feature a patio facing LaCenterra Lake, a fenced-in dog park area, and renderings nod to classic English cafes with checkerboard tilework and padded banquettes. Owner Bobby Davidson says they wanted a late‑open, luxurious spot to enjoy time with your dog. The menu will include artisanal third-wave coffees, specialty teas, wine, beer, pastries, charcuterie boards and other small bites, plus an upscale dog bakery, and the cafe plans live music and wine and espresso tastings in partnership with local animal rescue organizations. Davidson and his partner Maria launched the boutique online last year selling designer canine clothing (dresses, sweaters, raincoats), leashes, harnesses and crystal-studded collars, as well as non-GMO dog treats and spa products. When it debuts it will be open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m." - Brittanie Shey
