When the pandemic hit, Niki decided to temporarily shrink the accessible space and move to pick-up only. The change hasn’t dimmed enthusiasm for the store’s tasty and creative cakes and treats. And customers can pick up celebration items as well. Niki creates custom cakes to fit any pup’s birthday party theme. She also bakes treats tied to holidays and traditions, such as the doggie version of Lai See, the small red envelopes filled with money given in Chinese culture. Custom treat bags for birthday pups are also popular. Prior to the pandemic, pet parents could take pictures of their dogs at the store’s photo station inside. Niki plans to bring it back ASAP. For now, dogs pose outside in the store’s dog-friendly garden. It features pet-safe plants they can sniff and even taste. And a memorial garden they can visit. Niki and her longtime boyfriend and general manager Chris Luke started a Shiba Inu club. Members are some of their best customers. Their own pups, Katsumi (shown here) and Kuri Firefox, help out at the store. Kuri straightening a display. And helping behind the counter. Tasha and Niki also look forward to getting back to events. They pop up at several through a normal year. 1 | 15 Previous 21 Photos That Show Why Petagogy Is One of America’s Coolest Stores Up Next 14 Photos That Show Why Firehouse Pet Shop Is One of America’s Coolest Stores Photo Gallery 15 Photos That Show Why Hawaii Doggie Bakery Is One of America’s Coolest Stores Niki Libarios, left, and sister Tasha bought Hawaii Doggie Bakery with mother Joanne in 2012.
