Lady Dinah's Cat Emporium in Tower Hamlets

Such a lovely place to go. The cats were beautiful and some loved a fuss of being stroked. The cats were treated like royalty. Really enjoyed my experience with the cats. Such a great idea of a cafe with cats!

I decided to go after been recommended by a friend to go. The staff were polite and guided me to my table and I was given a scone and a drink which was what I requested. The décor I felt was great the cats have plenty of places to rest and interact with you. I have seen that a lot of negative cat cafes reviews are often those who are disappointed that cats are not all over the cafe goers and forget to understand that cats are animals and the idea is you drink and look and yes if they choose to interact with the cats. My experience was positive as I had some fun with the cats and took pictures and I was speaking to the staff member who was tidying up and got to understand the history of the place and most important it was clear the staff were passionate about the place. I got some keep sakes for my partner and I would def go again though I may look at going early when the cats have more energy

This was my 13th cat café I've ever been to (11 in the USA and 1 in China), and I think this may be my favorite! It's so obvious the cats are the #1 priority here - they have an entire "cat carer" role that exclusively focuses on the kitties. When we went it was Eliot taking care of the cats and I was blown away by his in-depth knowledge of every cat's likes, dislikes, favorite toys, relationships with the other cats, what kind of guest interactions they like, how they play... it was incredible! They had a snack time when we were there and it wasn't just food put out, it was snack puzzles and other great enrichment! Every cat looked bright-eyed and healthy, it was clear they had all been brushed that day (the long-haired kitties have such beautiful coats). I was so impressed by how their café rules all prioritize the cats' safety and happiness over the guest experience. Respecting the cats is truly the priority here. And WOW their intentional adoption process! Most cafés tend to be partnered with shelters to help cats get adopted into homes (at least in the USA). While every cat here is still a rescue, this café functions more like long-term fostering. This way the cats have actual months to years to grow and develop their personalities, allowing the staff to better understand what kind of forever home would be best for them. And they pay close attention to the cats themselves to know when it's time to adopt, instead of simply trying to get them out as fast as possible. When talking to staff, they also mentioned NOT keeping cats if they determine the café life is not what they enjoy, which is also amazing. I know the pet overpopulation problem (specifically in the USA) means that this slower adoption process isn't feasible for every cat rescue and the quicker adoption cycles other cafés and rescues have is unfortunately necessary. In a perfect world, this is how adoption would be done - a slow acclimation process where the cats are treated as individuals and priority is on matching them to a home that suits their needs. It honestly made me emotional, to see a place operating this way. It makes me hopeful that this could be the way all adoption is done in the future and inspiring to see it already working! If I wrote down every impossible high standard I have for a cat café/rescue scenario, Lady Dinah's accomplished them all. A truly wonderful experience. I cannot recommend this place enough! P.S. - every drink we had was delicious! And I'm still thinking about Agatha's cute little face 💖 If I didn't live in the USA, I would be back here weekly!

Spent a really nice hour in the cafe. Cats looked very happy and well cared for. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

I absolutely loved this place and would definitely visit again.The cats are looked after well, well fed and you get enough time to spend with the cats. If you love cats this is the place for you !The cats are friendly and cheerful and I just felt happy being around them. They also have a poster with all the cats,their names age and if anyone would like to adopt them.Its a must visit place and I believe "Londons first cat cafe".

Beautiful place for cat lovers with welcoming and friendly staff all making a belonging atmosphere that makes you visit them again.

Staff are very friendly from the minute you step in the door and the decor is lovely and whimsical. The cats seem well looked after and most seem to enjoy a stroke while laying in the sun. The only “negatives” we came across were: 1) although the staff were very friendly and helpful, the service was quite slow and 2) if you’re more of a picky eater, you probably won’t find much food on the menu that you like (although we did visit in the morning so I can’t comment on the pizza selection as it’s only served in the afternoon). Overall we had a good time and we’re glad we visited.

wonderful, it was therapy for me, I want to go more often

I went there on advice of s friend and it was an amazing cat cafe the room design is amazing and I also enjoyed my peach ice tea and scone. The staff were also excellent and were very passionate about the cats in the cafe.

Wonderfull cat cafe. Getting to it is a bit of a walk but honestly so many cats. Staff are friendly food and drink excellent. Claimed to be best cat cafe in London and that's a statement I agree with having visited a few

Really enjoyed the experience. Lady dinah is lovely cat cafe and the cats were treated like royalty

Encantadora tarde fría pasada en compañía de los gatos más encantadores. Sentí que era un poco caro para un té crema, pero conseguir que también está pagando por el ambiente también. Personal muy amable y si volviera a Londres me gustaría hacer otra visita.

Had a wonderful time here!! It was a very relaxed atmosphere and was unique, it was our first time here and we already want to return, the food was all very nice too! The staff were absolutely amazing too, they were very passionate about the cats and knew a lot about them, very attentive to the customers and had a very open demeanour to us with our questions, the staff were nothing short of excellent! Looking forward to returning!! 😌

It’s nice that these are rescue cats and they all look very healthy and well cared for. The staff are kind and friendly but we were disappointed with our visit. The cats put up with the constant stream of visitors with the emphasis on just put up with it. I felt sad for them. I wouldn’t want to go back and I am not convinced that the idea of a cat cafe is a good one for the cats concerned. We left feeling disheartened. There have to be better and more appropriate ways of taking care of rescue cats and finding them loving homes.

I had a lovely time at this wonderful cat cafe. The cats are so well loved and beautifully cared for! The afternoon tea was delicious, and the staff are so kind. Highly recommended!

The staff is really kind and cats are so cute and chill ( just need one orange cat )

Un lugar encantador para relajarse y olvidarse de todo, especialmente cuando estás en medio de una gran ciudad! Personal muy encantador y los gatos más lindos < 3

I am very fortunate to have been to Lady Dinah’s Cat Emporium. With the whimsical decor, the attentive staff, the delightful treats on the menu and most importantly the beautiful cats. I had a slot one evening and Martina was really engaging. The cats came to life even if it was the last slot of the day. I got to spend time with the likes of Gimli, Merry, Mowgli, Zora, Charlie, Hippo and the Jungle Book litter and all the rest. The cats are really well cared for, the staff are really friendly and engaging and the violet white hot chocolate was delicious. I left with a heavy feeling in my heart because I wanted to spend even more time with the kitties.

Cosy and inviting!! Was really nice hearing about the cats’ stories from the carers and getting help in playing with them. Very easy place to settle into and relax, 10/10 atmosphere and delicious food, planning my next visit already 🫶

Such a lovely place to just chill out and forget about everything especially when you are in the middle of a big city! Very lovely staff and the cutest cats <3

I had my reservations about visiting and unfortunately would not recommend it if you have any sympathy for animals. Although the café has a relatively calm atmosphere and enforces rules to discourage customers from pestering the cats, I still left feeling really sorry for them. Despite these measures, the cats seemed overwhelmed and overstimulated, constantly approached by visitors— even the staff were persistently waggling toys at them, adding to the onslaught. At the same time, they appeared bored and confined, with limited space for their numbers, little natural light, and nowhere to truly retreat. Some have lived there for years, and while the staff assured us they monitor their wellbeing, they still seemed stressed by the lack of real freedom and the long days of constant human interaction. I don’t believe this is a suitable environment for cats to live in. While I’m sure the owners and staff have good intentions, in my opinion these cats would have a far better quality of life in permanent homes, where they can engage in natural behaviors at their own pace. Personally, I would advocate for rehoming them and closing the café—this would be the more compassionate choice for cat lovers, rather than keeping them in this setting for profit at the expense of their wellbeing.

Lovely cafe with many cats. Pippin is my absolute favourite, she is a real lap cat who sometimes comes over to me for some biscuit-making and a chat. There are food and drinks to choose from, including vegan options, which I appreciate much as I don't drink milk. I have come all the way from Denmark to visit them cats, and I will return.

Came here with my girlfriend as an impromptu date with the £10 tickets! Friendly service and the cutest cats! We are a bit in love with Morgana

Lovely place, the staff are amazing and was very helpful, we look after children in care and often have a small budget for activities, they understood this and were very kind to us.... Thank you so much, the little girl loved it 💗

super cute place very friendly staff also very accommodating they let me pray and made space for me to do so the cats also seemed well cared for and happy

Lady Dinah Cat Emporium was an amazing place to spend an afternoon. The staff are super nice and very friendly and knew everything there was to know about their beautiful felines. The cats of course were gorgeous and it was lovely to see them looking so happy and healthy in their home environment. It was my mum's birthday and they delivered on everything that was asked for. The cream tea was divine! Thank you so much Lady Dinah Cat Emporium!

Friendly staff and vegan options!! Delicious vegan pizza!

Absolutely amazing cat cafe. The cats were a joy and the staff are so unbelievably friendly!

From booking to our actual visit, everything was seamless. It was a fun experience playing with cats. They’re so cute, healthy, and fluffy! I’ll definitely visit again. 😻

Great cafe brilliantly decorated and the cats were lush. The biggest downside is its location, as a tourist visiting London I couldn't help but be disappointed by the location. It's nestled in the middle of a sh#×hole. It's also a good 15-minute walk from the tube station which just added to my location deduction of 2 stars. Aside from this the staff were friendly and helpful and this made it an enjoyable experience.

Every drop of support and praise for this magical place is truly well deserved! Staff were so lovely & down-to-earth, food and drinks were delicious, props to the genius in charge of writing the cat puns on the menu. Most importantly, you can clearly see how every penny is invested into keeping the cats comfortable and happy. My only critique? Be a little more liberal with the cracker portion on the cheese plate! I’ll definitely be back whenever I get the chance! Honestly living abroad might be a blessing in disguise- otherwise I wouldn’t possess the self-control nor the budget to stop myself from becoming a regular. By the end of my visit, I had nearly memorised all the cats names. Sending all my love to Morgana and Sherlock from Ireland 🖤🐾

Honestly one of the weirdest and most uncomfortable situations I’ve ever got myself into. All the customers and staff were always shaking toys in the cats faces, and I don’t think they wanted to play. I’ve seen cats play with toys and this was not a natural reaction. They would either ignore the feather or lacklustrely paw at it since it was wagging in their face. Left feeling bad for all the cats there. That said, I appreciate the cause and am happy someone is trying to help rescue cats, however, the atmosphere was not it. I hope the cats have fun with each other at night.

its like the scene in finding nemo where the braces girl keeps tapping at the glass of the fishtank. except for cats. extremely uncomfortable experience.

Such a lovely and friendly place to go. Cats are all looked after by the amazing staff ;)

An absolute haven for cat lovers! Lady Dinah’s Cat Emporium is a cozy, charming café where you can enjoy delicious treats while spending time with adorable, well-cared-for cats. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, and the staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about feline welfare. The cats are content and have plenty of space to roam, play, or nap. It’s a wonderful place to unwind and enjoy some quality time with furry friends. Highly recommend for a unique and heartwarming experiences.

Wonderful place with adorable kitties. Thank You!

What a wonderful time we had today. The place is easy to find, especially if you come from Shoreditch High Street station. It's very cozy and clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful: the girls who looked after us were polite and funny. We had coffee and matcha latte and scones.. I never had scones so soft. This place is worth every penny. I love that they have an age restriction, so animals are not bothered too much. All the cats were friendly and so clean!

If you’re a cat lover, this is paradise! From tiny whiskered troublemakers to wise, fluffy purring royalty, you'll find every kind of pawsome feline lounging in style.

Had a lovely time this afternoon in the basement room. Lovely calm atmosphere with music. The cats are beautiful & clearly very loved & cared for. Staff were absolutely wonderful. Would definitely recommend.

I've been to Lady Dinah's twice now and each time has been an absolute delight! The cafe itself is a cozy chaos of furry friends and chatter, and the staff (I wish I had gotten their names) are always approachable and so lovely to chat with- it's obvious that they care for every cat dearly. If you love being surrounded by cats and good company, this is the place to be! (and hot tip: try Lady Dinah's Lavender Fog. It's a game changer.)

This cafe was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was so nice and the cats, even if they weren’t so active, were so friendly and just set a great tone for the place. The cafe its self is so nice, the food is great and the drinks as well. The staff here were so welcoming and friendly every time they were around which really made me feel like coming back here again. I’ve never been to a cat cafe before, so this was new to me but what a first impression, really recommend this place. The cats were the were the main star of the show, really great. They seemed so healthy and lively which is just so great to see. My favourites by far were Pippin and Zora, just so great to be around even if they were in their own corners of the cafe. Oliver was also a great cat, so fluffy and sweet. One thing I would like to add, is that the hand book giving out at the front desk when the employee checks your ticket isn’t really up to date which, I really don’t mind but I think that to get a better experience in the cafe, it’s to know what the cats like so if the hand book was a little more up to date, that would be great!

Another lovely visit today, my 4th in total. Good to see all the cats again since my last visit in December. The cats a well looked after and the staff are always very friendly and willing to help you with the names of the cats and their history. My favourite is Oliver but I have now added Hippo and Daz to that list. I will be back again soon.

Cats! Loads of them! They are cute! You can pet them! You can tell that the staff genuinely care about the animals and guests too :0

I went with my son to celebrate his 30th birthday. The food and drink was nice a d well presented. The staff were helpful, knowledgeable and clearly loved the cat's. There were about 20 cat's there and you are encouraged to play with them without picking them up. Although it is a bit expensive it is well worth it to see the cat's so happy and loved.

Me and my daughter's love visiting ur cat cafe we love all the cats there and the staff are very friendly and welcoming and the food is great love the pizza we will be back soon

Lovely Café. The cats are very relaxed and clearly well looked after. The café was designed to give them plenty of opportunities to play, climb and snooze.

Absolutely love this place! Staff are very friendly and welcoming and the resident cats are just adorable, with all very funny personalities. 10/10 I recommend !

Staff were very nice, welcoming and friendly and told us some information about cats. Cats are lovely and socialised and most are happy to be pet or play for a bit. They seem very well taken care of and there is a lot of more space than in other cat cafes which we liked, also we found the atmosphere calming. It probably depends what time you come as well as there were periods of time when kitties were playful but also time when they (understandably!) got a bit tired and wanted to sleep and rest. But the place feels relaxed and you can simply chill with the cats. All kitties were friendly but we absolutely loved Lyla who is quite a young cat and a total sweetheart. She is so cute and playful! There are also many places for cats to retreat as well if they do not want an interaction. The one thing I was wondering was if there was a rule about not interacting with cats when they go sit on the “high shelves” (but are not asleep) as occasionally customers tried to pet them when they sat there but cats seemed to want some peace (but maybe not completely retreat). I would say overall cats seemed very comfortable and happy and they were quite curious and happy to engage in some play. All in all, it was a lovely visit and we would recommend it and come here again.

Me and my daughter's love ur cat cafe very much and we love all the cats . always look forward to visiting and the staff are very welcoming and friendly too this is are favourite cat cafe we will definitely be back soon and the food is great too.

Fantastic place. Cats are well looked after and staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about all the cats. We ordered a pizza, which was delicious and coffees were lovely batista style. We odered a birthday package that included cupcakes, Lemonade, a personalised birthday card with badge and cat ears to wear and keep. If you love cats you will love Lady Dinahs!

First time here and would definitely recommend and would love to return! Went as a valentines date and it was so chill and relaxing, you could tell the cats were really well looked after and the staff were really friendly!! Pro tip the ‘happy meower’ is a really good deal they offer in the week however it did feel really quick.

i’m a regular at lady dinah’s and i’ve always had an amazing experience. the cat carers are extremely attentive, (the staff in general are super friendly) and the drinks are always great. the cats are very well taken care of, and the rules in place definitely keep them safe and healthy. i’ll be back soon! until then, here’s a picture of daz in a box:

Cats! Loads of them! They are cute! You can pet them!

Lovely to have cats around you, coffee and cheeseboard was nice as well

We enjoyed our time in a calm seren atmosphere chilling with the cats. The cream tea was lovely and so was Lady Dinah's special blend rose tea.

First time at a cat café had a great afternoon tea and scones friendly cats and staff will definitely attend again in the future

Great experience! Thank you for taking care of these cats. Wanted the food to be better.

Unfortunately, our experience here was not the best. The café was quite dirty, and everything was quite run down including the towels & toys. The cats itself was lovely but everything felt ramshackle. Many people crowded over a few cats and I felt like they got quite frustrated, understandably. Similar to other reviews, I did feel like the cats were not that enthusiastic about being played with. Still super lovely to be in their presence none the less. Think the place would be better after a good spruce.

My 13 year old daughter announced, 5 minutes after arriving, that she wanted to move in! And that when shes older, she would like to work at a cat cafe! I don't think a review can get any better than that. Thank you to all the friendly, helpful staff and all the curious cats and kittens that wandered over for a sniff or a chin scratch. A purrrfect experience, and one we are keen to repeat.

10/10 experience at Lady Dinah's Cat Emporium. I went as a walk-in with a friend and they were able to squeeze us in right away. The staff were lovely and the cats/kittens stole our hearts. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in Shoreditch.

A truly wonderful place for those who love cats. Super friendly staff who go above and beyond to make all who visit welcome.

A wonderful place with such amazing cats! They are all happy, healthy and cute. Some like to snooze, eat or play. You get a generous hour and a half to sit and eat or drink and watch as they pass you by. Lovely, friendly staff. I just cannot believe some of these negative reviews from stupid people who expect this to be some sort of cat circus! Have respect for them and they will come and play with you in their OWN time!!

Lovely cat café with many sweet cats and kittens, we really enjoyed the visit and the staff was very warm, welcoming and friendly. I'd recommend this cat café and come back in the future. Thank you so much!

This is not a cat cafe in Shoreditch, this is actually heaven. 🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛✨

I visited for the first time today, and the staff were very kind and allowed us to amend our booking to a later time which is greatly appreciated. During our visit, I began to pet a black kitten, which responded by purring and cuddling into my hand. This interaction lasted for about five minutes, during which the cat closed and opened its eyes a few times. However, shortly after this, a staff member walked past and, from a significant distance across the cafe, shouted out to me, "Sorry, you need to leave that cat alone if it is sleeping, sorry." This remark was made loudly, to the surprise of my partner and the other guests nearby. Regardless of what that staff member may have perceived, I do not believe it is appropriate to address a paying guest in such a manner. It would have been more respectful to approach and speak to me directly. The remainder of the visit was generally pleasant; however, this particular incident was notably impactful.

10/10 experience at Lady Dinah's Cat Emporium. I went as a walk-in with a friend and they were able to squeeze us in right away. The staff were lovely and the cats/kittens stole our hearts. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in Shoreditch.

I think places like this a nice and different, and it's great that they are looking after rescue cats, it seems that the cats are healthy and well. To give a critique though I have to admit me and my wife didn't really leave feeling "happier" than when we went in. The cats themselves really just avoid people at all costs or ignore them completely, it's really hard to play with them etc... I understand animals are not there for our amusement, so this is totally fine, but just a warning that if you want to go there to play with cats, you're going to be really REALLY disappointed.

A great experience and the workers loved the cats and treated them well and taught us so much about them! I recommend highly I already miss the cafe so much

I will be recommending this cat cafe to everyone I know! One of the best things about it is that children under 12 are not allowed! This immediately sold the place to me - other cat cafes have children storming around screaming and disturbing the cats. The staff are wonderful and knowledgable about the cats and what they like - they helped us to socialise with them and gave us lots of facts. Anyone complaining about the price are evidently not the cat lovers they make themselves out to be - it goes towards their medical care, enrichment and the staff that nurture them?! I saw more reviews about the rules being too stern - just people who can’t respect a being needing privacy… All they ask is that if a cat is sleeping or grooming then to not disturb them ❤️ The scone I had was very yummy and my sisters enjoyed their drinks. The environment the cats have to play in is great, so many platforms and hidey holes! We visited right at the end of the day and so anticipated that the cats would’ve been tired out and overstimulated. We were happy to just see lots of cats 😅 but we got so much attention from them! I think your enjoyment of the place and success with the cats is much more to do with whether you understand cat behaviour and how to respect them in their home 🐾🐈

Lovely cat café with many sweet cats, we really enjoyed the visit

Opened as Kickstart project, this nice place are as cozy and comfortable, as it was when we visited in 2017.

Visited Lady Dinah’s for the first time yesterday. What a lovely experience! The staff were so friendly and knew every cat so well, the food was lovely, and the cats & kittens so well looked after and content! Will definitely be returning!😻

You are great! The atmosphere is lovely, and there are so many cats that let you pet them and play with you! 🧡

Lovely staff and the cutest cats 😊 we had a wonderful time.

We went for a late afternoon snack, and everything was very pleasant. The cafe operates in time slots for which you have to book in advance. Everything is really nice, clean, and well operated. I enjoyed a nice milkshake, and shared some cake with my partner, who had a martini (all cat-inspired). All the staff is amazing, friendly, and very helpful and knowledgeable. The cats are so nice and well socialised, too! Iago in particular was amazing, and he enjoyed the attentions and the cuddles. He came around, purred, headbutted (in a nice way) and was generally very happy! We booked for a weekend, which in retrospect I would not recommend if you can go at other times in the week because the cats have been interacting with people all day and they might be tired, if you're specifically looking to play and pet them. In any case, totally recommended if you are a cat love, have some budget to support them, and don't suffer from any allergy!

I took my best friend here for their birthday, they absolutely loved it! Chloe was our waiter and they were so lovely and helpful. We were told all about the cats throughout the experience and had a brilliant time playing with them all. Will definitely be visiting again!

What a wonderful place the cats and the staff were amazing It was a fabulous place to eat and have the special company of all the cats I would love to visit again and intend to spread the word about this quant little place Thank you to everyone for making my day special .

Lovely place that us feel very welcome and there was many cats ..what a great experience!

Cute place with a whimsical vibe to it. The kitties are absolutely adorable and are taken care of so well. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and kind to the kitties and the customers. Very well socialized cats who love getting pets! The drinks and food were tasty as well. I really loved the peach iced tea and the mint and cucumber iced tea I got. The drinks are also quite large too and good for the price + you are giving back to the kitties by getting drinks! I loved my time here and will be coming back again and again.

Had a lovely cream tea with the cats this afternoon. As a cat lover and experienced owner, I loved to see how well cared for the clowder are! It was a little frustrating to see other visitors crowding the cats, following them round as they were visibly moving way and trying to get some peace, or ignoring "back off" body language. However it was so clear that the cat carers love their little charges and I'm sure they would step in if they had seen it or if things escalated. My cat shaped scone was delicious, warm and soft and I loved my jasmine lime tea. I'm sat at home craving another! I had a great time respectfully interacting with the cats who were feeling playful (it was later in the afternoon so many were having a well deserved snooze.) I enjoyed seeing the lovely little guys I follow on Instagram in the flesh. Kind of like kitty celebrity spotting. Particular highlight for me was watching Hippo fling himself off the cat tower by accident, I assume trying to intercept the braincell as well as present his belly for rubs...and then later his skillful scoffing of several dinners 😂 This is a lovely spot run by lovely people.

(Nov 2024, duration one hour) Unlike 2019 (at least it seems to me), simply coming without consumption costs a good £13, and you now have to book in advance even when you go on a whim, this makes less spontaneous. Then, I misunderstood that the meal was IN ADDITION to the price. Especially since I felt really SHIPPED there, a quarter of an hour before while I had not yet ordered dessert they made it clear to me that I had to leave soon, and 10 minutes before the hour I was made to understand that I would soon have to leave... Cats are magnificent, but it's still a little small for them.

A "must see" for cat café lovers. Special design on two floors, where the basement is decorated as if you were in a tree house.

such a lovely peaceful place!! would highly recommend!

Won't return Bad smell and extremely overpriced

I bought a Christmas gift voucher for my niece to use sometime next year. When I contacted Lady Dinah’s with a query about my order, I was impressed by how responsive and friendly their customer care team was. When the item arrived, it was carefully packaged in a cute gift box. I'm sure my niece will have a fantastic day out, and I look forward to visiting myself in the near future. Thank you so much!.

Lovely staff. Cats were super cute.

Such a lovely Place, sweet cats and very friendly staff! I will never forget my visit there😻😻😻!!!

What an absolutely wonderful experience here. They have so many adorable cats and kittens who love playing with you. The staff are simply wonderful and really care about what they do.

Our third visit to lady dinah's. Great place for cat lovers. There were approx 20 cats in there. Love the environment and all the hiding places they have. Miss the old favourite resident called Wookie. Sweet cats and black kittens to fuss. We had tea and a scone which was lovely. Could do with a lick of paint/TLC now, our first visit was when it had not long opened so you could notice the wear and tear. Worth a visit.

The best cat cafe in London! I've been to other cafes before but I definitely liked this one much more. They know all the cats very well and introduce them to you, the staff is very attentive, it's obvious that they enjoy working in this cat cafe. I definitely recommend it, I plan on coming again.

Lovely cafe loved the Christmas feel at the moment! The cats are much loved and always looked after. Everything is clean and hygienic and you have a station to wash your hands before entering into where the cats reside. Went at lunch at had the lovely vegan bagel- would recommend. Staff are lovely and they helped me rehome a ginger stray earlier in the year. Looking forward to returning.

I have now visited the Cat Cafe for the third time. I have really enjoyed all my visits, as the cats are so nice. However the staff are also very nice and are happy to go through all the cats names and their history with you. There are 20 cats and wide variety of breads, so sure you will find your own favourite. Watch out for Oliver who is a lovely tux cat who also reminds me of Bat Man. There is also Pipkin who is a friendly Calico cat. I look forward to my next visit in the new year.

I was taken here for a Christmas present and we had an amazing time. The cats were all really lovely and full of personality, and our 90 minute slot flew by as we were having so much fun playing with the cats. Would love to adopt one if I were in a position to!!

We visited for afternoon cream tea and to see all the cats. There were around 20 cats, some playing, some sleeping and others roaming about. It was really lovely to watch all the cats and kittens with their own personalities. Staff were on hand to advise you about the cats and to ensure no one was badgering the cats. Staff also got a few cats engaged jumping from shelf to shelf and catching things. Tea and scone was a great added extra. A well run caring cat emporium and a great place to visit, would also be an ideal gift for someone who likes cats

Lovely cafe loved the Christmas feel when there! Cats are much loved and looked after. Everything is clean and hygienic and you have a station to wash hands before entering into where the cats reside. Lovely vegan bagel- would recommend. Staff are lovely and they helped me rehome a ginger stray earlier in the year 🧡

Yesterday was my 3rd visit. I really love visiting this place because obviously I am a cat lover. The staff are great with the cats and are happy to fill you in with their names & history. Oliver is my favourite but I love them all. Keep up the great work and I will be back in the New Year at some time. 💗💗💗

We had an amazing experience with the cats and kittens. Some were lively and playful, others content with sitting there and sleeping. I stroked a few and even got my fingers licked by one of them. The staff were friendly and attentive and helped get some of the cats more engaged to keep people entertained. Once the food bowls came out all the cats were mobile and running to their food, after that they wanted to chill. I think people forget this is where the cats are living, we are the guests so let them come to you, and respect each of their unique ways

First time visiting this lovely cafe. You can make a reservation online or just come. Many tables. The drinks I ordered also great. There are more than 20 cats and each one is enjoying themselves. You can interact with them with toys. The staff here are all lovely and really care about the cats. I had a great time here 😆😆
