Darling Darlings Cat Lounge in Great Yarmouth

Such a wholesome experience. I wouldn’t go for the food as it’s a bit overpriced for what it is but decent enough to eat if you’re hungry. The staff are incredible and I couldn’t paise them enough. The cats are so well looked after and I fell in love with all of them. Highly recommended if you’re a lover of cats. Something that wowed me even more was that the entire decor is retro memorabilia and all the things you would have grown up with if you were born before the 2000s. I would definitely go again. Thank you for such a lovely experience❤️

We had a lovely afternoon visit today! The cafe is quirky, with plenty of vintage toys and items to see. The cats are beautiful and clearly happy, relaxed and well-cared for. We were served quickly and enjoyed a tasty snack and drink each. My daughter highly recommends the Oreo milkshake! Staff were friendly, and loved chatting about the cats. We will definitely be returning on our next holiday. (Staff will call back if you leave an answerphone message, and prioritise bookings based on when the message is left, so repeated calls to try and book aren't necessary).

From our first conversation on the phone to the end of the 1 hour experience was wonderful!!! The lady in the phone was friendly personable and happy! This continued when we arrived at Darling Darlings. The cats were so calm and friendly and the staff adore them. There is so much memorabilia In The cafe so many childhood memories were unlocked which is always wonderful!! The cakes were delicious and we really did have a lovely time. Thankyou xx

I have been to many cat cafes up and down the country and this is by far the worst, you are not allowed to go near cats it’s like a museum, every time a cat came up to me to get strokes stuff pick up a force cat into a cat bed and the stuff wear very cocky with the knowledge they thought they knew everything and thinking I don’t no anything about cats in reality I do, it’s very cheap to visit but I wouldn’t recommend, not allowed sit on sofas? Just over junked with items not much floor playing space for cats or climbing places for cat to get away.

Highly recommend this cat cafe. Great value for money and a great experience for a family day out. Our daughters loved the place and the cats are well loved and looked after by the staff.

You got followed by the staff when you tried to touch the cats they moved them away to somewhere else and tried to discourage you from going near them they treat it like a Museum and if you touch anything the shout please dont touch that

Very friendly staff, nice food with great vintage vibe. These are beautiful rescue cats that we were able to stroke and just wanting to be loved. Value for money and cheapest in the UK. would def visit again when next here. Thank you

It was so Nice. There was so many cute and friendly cats there.😍 I really liked that they gave us plastic covers so just incase the cats jumped on the table so they didnt eat the food. They also had a lot of cool things you can buy as a little souvenir.

Aww came today with my partner, the cats were so cute and laid back, especially olive who came and sat on my knee and wanted to get my teabag 😄 she was adorable, and the 2 sphinx were cuddled up together in their blanket which was so cute! I loved all the cats, definitely recommend if you're a cat lover!

Came with our little girl that loves cats so was supposed to be a treat for her….well.. the experience was freaky and uncomfortable. Staff are crazy protective of their 6 cats (u see only 2 really) they are literally behind your chair to watch what u r doing. The whole place is filled with toys from the 60’s to the 90’s. Could possibly be good as a museum but certainly not with kids because they see thousands of toys and it always says ‘don’t touch’ and it’s at arm reach:/ really not clever and super stressful for parents! One of the cat hit my little girl with her paw, she didn’t do anything….not so friendly experience. Coffee was horrible :/ We couldn’t wait to get out of here. To avoid with kids by any means!!!

Lovely Friendly Independent Cat Cafe, It was a last minute decision to go here so we had not pre booked, luckily they were able to accommodate us. All the staff were very friendly and super passionate about cats and animals in general. We had cake and coffee which was very nice very good, Only issue was my daughter was not happy that we went without her LOL Will go again if we are in the area.

Amazing place so relaxing the owners are really friendly the cats are really loved and cared for the cats have their own personality especially Stanley can’t wait until I come back next year highly recommend you have to book but worth it the sessions are 45 minutes so they can clean everything in between guests

First time to the cat cafe today , and our visit was absolutely wonderful. Being greeted at the door by a staff member who was very friendly and welcoming we felt The 6 cats were all adorable, and clearly well loved and cared for. The cafe itself is full of fantastic retro items, and brought back many childhood memories. The experience was very interactive with the cats, staff and the many items on display. I even sat and knitted! Something i have not done in 30 years! My Grandson who is rather shy was so comfortable. We left with massive smiles on our faces. A true gem of a place on Great Yarmouth seafront. Will certainly be revisiting.

What a wonderful place, when we arrived Teddy and coconut came to greet us at the door, my daughter was completely in her element here, the cats came and climbed on her and she smiled the entire time she was there. We have just got home and she’s asked to go back again and also to go back there for her birthday in November! Lovely friendly staff and animals that just melt your heart.

Staying in Great Yarmouth for the weekend and spotted the Cat Lounge while strolling along the sea front. Being cat lovers we just had to call in. What a delightful time we had. Lots of cuddles from Maverick, Teddy and Olive. Learnt all about how the cafe came about and how the cats came into the owners care. Lovely Deluxe hot chocolate too. Thank you for a very pleasant experience.

What an amazing experience! Stumbled across the cafe by chance and it made my day! You can tell this is a passion for the owner and her staff. The cats were happy and I got to stroke a hairless cat for the first time! Tea, coffee and cake was great too! The retro things all around got us reminiscing of our youth!

This was my first time, but it definitely won't be my last. I thought it was a wonderful place. The cats are gorgeous and the staff are friendly and helpful. There's a good choice of food and drinks and the staff are really mindful if you have allergies. I had a really indulgent, vegan milk-shake and had plenty of time to meet the cats. I would thoroughly recommend this.

Had an absolutely wonderful afternoon tea here! Not only was the food delicious but the 100s of nostalgic objects, games, toys and books were a trip down memory lane. The wonderful cats were the icing on the cake along with the friendly and efficient staff. Altogether a really great experience and a wonderful way to have an afternoon tea. Highly recommended!!

You get an hour to be in the cafe with instructions before entering on do's and don'ts for the welfare of the cats. Quite nostalgic in there and my grandaughter (8yrs) loved it walking about petting the cats which were mostly just snoozing. I had a good cup of tea and a cheese scone (no sweet ones available) Wouldn't bother again but an experience

Took my daughter here today for Afternoon Tea for her birthday. First time at a cat cafe. Loved it, loved it loved it. 😍 Omg the cats are all gorgeous, so relaxed and happy in their environment and just waiting to be stroked and loved. Wanted to bring them all home. The food was lovely too, too much to eat so brought some home. Extremely well run cafe, food excellent, service excellent, cats wonderful. The staff all very friendly and all had time to talk to their customers too.Cant wait to visit again 100% xx

Absolutely amazing place, great cake, great coffee and cute cats 🐱 This was our first time visiting, we will definitely be back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I went with my dad and it was amazing. The staff were so kind, funny and welcoming. The cats where all calm and sweet. I had tea and quiche, both was very nice, my dad had a vegan sausage roll which he said he "loved". The decorations was cool to look at. Lastly i never got bored!

Wow wow wow 🤩 Nostalgia , happiness and euphoria all in one !! What a lovely way to spend an hour , staff were so lovely and as for the cats 🐈 🐈‍⬛ a little chin rub and they were happy as Larry !!! Family run , you are a inclusive member of their family once on their premises , serving home baked savouries and cakes i would defo go back if I’m in the area!! Thank you to you all for making me feel so welcomed 😻😻😻

Was here on holiday so called up in advance and was told quite rudely that they don’t accept phone bookings and that they’re too busy to be answering the phones it’s first come first served last slot Is at 3. So we rushed and paid for a bus to get to them to be told that slot was full. Really silly, pre payment booking ONLINE without having to call the busy phone lines would be far easier as other cat and dog cafes around the country do Since posting my review the “ company “ decided to publicly slander me on social media, judging by their reviews and their replies to constructive reviews on other platforms their telephone manner doesn’t surprise me, they are sarcastic and simply rude

Lovely, quirky cafe with fantastic retro objet all around. The cats were so lovely and friendly. Staff were on hand to help with anything we needed and the food and drinks were nice. My 8 year old daughter (who’s cat mad) was in her element. She said “it was the best cafe she’d ever been to and I want to work there when I’m older”.

Very easy to book, we phoned ahead from 8:40am and secured a table for our family of 5. Upon arrival staff were so welcoming and went through the rules with us. The experience overall was wonderful, the cats were very happy and can tell are...

Going to this cat lounge was such a wonderful experience. The food was delicious & staff were lovely. It’s such a cosy and comfortable setting, which caters to the cats too. Amazing customer service, workers were always helpful when needed.

Excellent experience here. Staff super friendly and the cats were a delight. Added bonus was all the retro memorabilia, such a great idea. Will definitely be back again soon.

Been a couple of times. Easy to book via the phone, friendly customer service. The cafe itself is fun and full of nostalgia. The cats are delightful as are the staff. Love the milkshakes. Recommended to anybody.

Fab but it here with the family - cats were friendly and clearly well loved. All the retro memorabilia gave us something to talk about for our whole stay. Milkshakes were impressive.

Really lovely visit, lots to see, loved all the 80's and 90's memorabilia. Staff very friendly and attentive. Sadly we felt it was very over priced for the standard of food received.
