A Pawsitively Unique Cafe Experience!

Welcome to Bailey & Patch, the groundbreaking cafe in Singapore where dogs and their owners are treated like royalty! Featuring a menu exclusively for pets, including tasty options like ‘doggie economy rice’, this haven allows your furry friends to dine alongside you. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg!

Empowerment Through Grooming and Training!

This enchanting establishment doubles as a pet grooming center and is paving the way for inclusion by offering training opportunities for individuals with disabilities. Set to launch on May 1, the grooming center will offer comprehensive training courses, allowing participants to learn skills like bathing and caring for pets, all under the guidance of certified groomers.

Founder Kevin Chee, inspired by his two beloved dogs, believes that enabling those with disabilities to take care of animals is not just about skills—it's about empowerment. He observes, “Even if only a few complete the course, it’s a success.” It’s a fresh approach to pet services that caters to today’s pet-obsessed culture!

Sweets from a Special Baker!

And let’s not forget the delightful treats whipped up by ‘Baker Ben’! Benedict Tein, a talented 20-year-old baker with autism, heads the cafe’s pastry program. From walnut brownies to delicious dog cookies, each designed with love, Benedict pours his heart into every recipe.

Baking is not just work for him; it’s therapeutic and brings joy. With the unwavering support of his mother, Elvina Lee, who helps him find his footing in the bustling kitchen, Benedict is on the path to becoming an independent adult. He shares his dreams and heartfelt aspirations: "I want to earn a living to take care of papa and mama when they are old." His determination shines bright!

Overcoming Challenges and Gaining Skills!

Elvina recounts the early years of baking alongside her son, where sensory issues made the kitchen a daunting space for him. But through love and guidance, he gradually learned to conquer his fears and cultivate the essential life skills he would need. Now, he can whip up a variety of dishes and even impresses with latte art!

Building a Future Full of Hope!

Their journey wasn't without hurdles. Elvina once ran an online business called Bakes By Ben, which allowed Benedict to engage with customers and develop invaluable skills from packaging to payment. At Bailey & Patch, he’ll continue to practice these skills while forging connections within the community.

Elvina emphasizes that this isn’t just about baking but nurturing independence, adaptability, and social interactions. As she graciously prepares her son for a future where he can thrive on his own, her heart is full of hope. "I want him to find a stable job and connect with society—it's essential for his mental wellness."
