Munchies’ Craft in Brighton and Hove

Mi esposa y yo vinimos aquí en mi cumpleaños (12 en punto de reserva) , al llegar nos recibieron dos miembros del personal (ambos muy dulces y acogedores) y luego revisaron nuestra reserva y nos VOLVIERON A DECIR las reglas de la casa (que parece que mucha gente de aquí no leyó, la tarifa de reserva va para los gatos y sí indican el gasto mínimo! ¿Cómo esperas que se paguen los salarios y que se cuiden los gatitos? ) luego fuimos y nos sentamos arriba (tan lindamente decorados) y vimos a los gatos trepar y saltar por la increíble pared de escalada y pequeñas manchas de encaramado que tenían! Ha sido diseñado tan bien, especialmente teniendo en cuenta lo pequeños que son los espacios comerciales en Brighton! Los dos pedimos cafés y eran INCREÍBLES, pero eso obviamente es de esperar en un establecimiento turco. Luego tuvimos un pequeño paseo por las escaleras y jugamos con algunos gatitos más, los gatos eran súper sociables, pero también tan tranquilos y relajados (se podía decir cuánto les encantaba el personal, gorjeaban y atropellaban cuando entraba el personal). ¡Es increíble ver una compañía que ama y respeta a sus animales! Se nota lo apasionado que era el personal por los gatos. Había música muy relajante y un olor muy tenue a incienso caliente. También mención especial al encantador arte disponible para comprar! ¡Unos hermosos colgantes de Devil Eye Cat hechos en Estambul por un artista! ¡Y todo el arte del edificio parecía donado o en venta! Fue realmente encantador de ver. En general, una experiencia positiva tan encantadora, no tengo idea de qué “horrible personal grosero” la gente está hablando. ¡Creo que si le faltas el respeto a los animales podrían estar un poco molestos contigo! ¡Gracias por una hermosa cita de café Munchies!

Bonitos gatos. Un lugar horrible. Entró con mi hijo, en su cumpleaños. Había reservado en persona. Pagué el precio per-perso. Cuando aparecimos me dijeron que teníamos que cumplir con algún tipo de trato de comida. Dije que no me informaron sobre eso en el momento de la reserva. El personal me dijo 'quizás me había perdido esa información en el sitio web al hacer la reserva'. Reiteré que reservé en persona, nadie me había informado de esto cuando reservé. Así que lo dejaron caer. A continuación se explicó sobre el gasto mínimo per cápita de £ 6. Iba a comprar café, pasteles, etc. para los dos. Pero esto te hace sentir menos inclinado a querer hacer algo que no sea el mínimo. Todo está estafado. Los precios son altos. Su inculpación está realmente apagada. Pedimos un batido, una rebanada de pastel de chocolate y un chai latte. Todo lo que llegaba era basura total. El chai latte tenía trozos de polvo seco de chai latte. El batido era arenoso y lleno de trozos y grumos. El pastel de chocolate era una loncha vieja y seca de tienda comprada brownie, sabía absolutamente horrible. Todo un engaño. Durante nuestra reserva de 30 minutos, en un sótano oscuro y apretado, tuvimos que desalojar nuestra mesa para permitir que un lector de cartas del tarot se configurara y sacara una pantalla de detrás de nosotros. Luego tuvimos el disgusto de tener que escuchar a este lector de tarot dando lecturas a personas que habían pagado por esta configuración extremadamente extraña. Nuestra comida y bebidas horribles llegaron a poco menos de £ 20 , que incluía £ 2 . 50 cargo por servicio añadido, más IVA. Toda la experiencia huele a enjuagar a la gente por dinero. Una cosa que particularmente no me gustó fue un gatito que acababa de ser criado, usando un pequeño mono para evitar que se lamiera la herida - ¿por qué estaba ese gato ahí? ¿Por qué tenía que estar en ese lugar para el público? Sácalo de la vista del público y déjalo recuperarse completamente en paz. Los gatos son encantadores. El lugar es malvado - animado y huele a un truco de mierda que va por todo el dinero que puede. Por supuesto que no le dije nada al personal, ya que era mi cumpleaños. Sólo quería ser un pequeño regalo después de la escuela, no fue gran cosa. Pero dejó un mal sabor y fue una experiencia de mierda. Pero luego, cuando nos fuimos dijo que si su propio acuerdo que el lugar era grosero, y raro para los clientes. Tiene 10 años y eso dice mucho. No te molestes en ir.

¿La entrada de £ 11 va a alguna caridad en curso? ¿Estás apoyando a alguna organización benéfica local o esto es para los gatos internos 8? Larga espera para bebidas / comida. Luego se apresuró a terminar. No disfrutamos de la experiencia, pero esa es nuestra opinión esto podría ser genial para algunos y no tanto para otros. Se agregó automáticamente un cargo por servicio discrecional del 15% a nuestra factura. Menciona 12 . 5 pero nos cobraron el 15 % el 20. 02 . 2025 .

Lovely staff although management didnt answer my email about cancellation which is disappointing. Cake was yummy, Tea was ok, don't get the choice of how much milk and such tiny cups. Cats being cats, do their own thing. Worth a visit if you're a cat lover.

So the cats were adorable but this 55min, £6 pp minimum is a bit of a joke, especially when you’ve paid a £10pp fee. The beers we ordered, we were told 30mins later that you didn’t have any. Few things out of stock. I then had to order 2 drinks for myself, to hit the cap and down them in the last 20mins. God knows how you’d eat a full tapas in this time. Considering this was a Saturday, you could have literally gone to Tesco and bought some. No GF desserts. All the cats bar two were asleep, they’re obviously knackered from the rest of the day. Great idea but execution needs work. Staff were friendly but I won’t be returning in a hurry.

Amazing experience, the staff were so lovely and friendly and the cats were super cute! We spent a lovely 55 minutes being able to watch and spend time with some very cute and playful kitties :) on top of that everything was very clean and the mugs/plates they used were very cute and unique and the food was very tasty!

I went here for my birthday the order day and even though we were a few minutes late, the staff that day ( I think her name was Lola) was really accommodating and gave us a bit of extra time. The food was something I don’t really eat but I was actually really good and my boyfriend and I definitely enjoyed it a lot. The cats were adorable and though a lot were tired and sleepy, as cats are, it was just lovely being around them and getting to enjoy the environment. The staff was really sweet and I loved the dim lighting and calm music for all the kitties, as someone who’s been to a few cat cafes, this felt the most relaxing !

A lovely treat for cat lovers :) Been here twice now! While it's a slightly expensive treat (although sometimes they also have the express coffee & cat option which I think is only £8.50 pp for 20mins), I appreciate that all (I think) the booking prices come with some kind of free drink and/or food item! And I'd definitely say it's worth it, especially if you don't get to see cats as often as you'd like. The cats are so cute and fluffy and obviously well taken care of, just respect the rules and don't expect that a cat will necessarily sit on ur lap, but the cats are happy to receive pets and there are toys around if any of them are feeling playful! Even the couple of sleeping cats are adorable and tend to keep sleeping peacefully if you give them pets. Don't want to pick a favorite but the orange and white cat is SO fluffy and soft and just has the cutest lil eyes.

Had a lovely time. It was a great experience. All the staff are so lovely!

Muy triste experiencia. Los gatos eran hermosos, bebés encantadores y espero que el personal horrible se arregle para que este lugar pueda permanecer abierto, ya que el entorno en sí es lindo y el menú parecía tener una variedad. No quiero ser un ninny negativo o excesivamente crítico, pero esa fue la experiencia de servicio más diabólica de mi vida y nunca recomendaría este lugar a nadie. En primer lugar, soy consciente de que el personal es totalmente incapaz de asumir la responsabilidad debido a nuestra experiencia, y esto se puede ver a continuación con sus comentarios excesivamente defensivos a otras críticas aquí, por lo que sé que escribirán una respuesta a esto tratando de culpar a nuestro grupo por su terrible servicio. El primer problema que tuvimos fue entrar, aunque prereservado en línea para las 7 , el personal estaba aleteado y parecía tener un problema con nosotros siendo un grupo grande. El miembro del personal más rudo que le pregunté por su nombre se negó a dar, vamos a llamarla A, nos explicó las reglas, pero no mencionó el gasto de £ 6 minutos, así que algunos de nuestro grupo no estaban al tanto. Estábamos tratando de explicar a ella y a otra mujer que al aceptar las reglas de la casa en el proceso de reserva real en el sitio web, no había mención visible de gasto mínimo de £ 6 además de la tarifa de entrada de £ 11 durante 55 minutos. Sí, sabíamos que está en otras áreas del sitio web. Lo que estábamos tratando de explicar es que IT WASNT figuraba en el acuerdo de reserva y no se nos informó de esto hasta después de que habíamos pagado y nos enviaron un correo electrónico. El personal no podía entender y estaban tratando de culparnos por no leerlo correctamente a pesar de que el reservador había regresado, lo revisó dos veces y consiguió otro miembro del grupo para comprobarlo. El gasto de £ 6 no se mencionó en el proceso de reserva. El personal hizo de esto un gran problema cuando todo lo que necesitaba decir era, oh, perdón por no saberlo. No podían asumir la responsabilidad de esto. Por razones de sonido, esto hizo que entraran en pánico y las bebidas que pedimos no llegaron hasta 5 minutos después de que terminó nuestra ranura. Me hubiera gustado el hecho de que nos dejaron permanecer más tiempo para que pudiéramos terminar las bebidas, pero el resto si el servicio era impactante. Tengo autisim. Así que cuando le pregunté a A dónde estaban las bebidas y le expliqué que me preocupaba que llegaran y que tuviéramos que irnos, no entendía lo que estaba pasando y necesitaba allí explicarme de nuevo, respondió muy groseramente y sofocado - "están llegando" y se fue de quicio Pagó más de £ 9 por un chocolate caliente alchólico de menta. Cuando llegó, 45 minutos después de que pedimos, era un té de menta. Cuando finalmente lo hicieron bien no tenía alcohol y era pequeño, un poco más grande que un vaso de chupito. Estaba tan estresado por el servicio que no me molesté en mencionar que se habían olvidado del alcohol porque habrían causado un alboroto y se negaron a aceptar la responsabilidad, probablemente me acusaron de mentir como si me hubieran lanzado varias acusaciones. También olvidaron el pastel de alguien más en el grupo. Tratamos de hacer las paces y disfrutar del tiempo después de que nos dejaron quedarnos más tiempo debido a su desastre. Cuando se trataba de pagar , aA trató de forzar el cargo por servicio en nosotros a pesar de que el recibo decía que era opcional. Dicho esto porque habían hecho acomodaciones para nosotros tuvimos que pagarlo Traté de explicar que como se nos explicó, siempre y cuando el total gastado es equivalente a si cada persona gastó £ 6 estaría bien. , y habíamos alcanzado prácticamente nuestro total, porque habíamos esperado 45 minutos para bebidas que no queríamos pagar. Ella se enojó mucho y me acusó de ser el cliente más rudo de la historia y comenzó a gritar. Hasta ese momento había estado tranquilo. Ninguno de nosotros era grosero hasta entonces, lo único que intentábamos era explicarnos o pedir claridad. Luego dijo que el personal de la cocina nos había escuchado escoriando el lugar. ¿OK? ¿Seguro? Estamos descontentos con el servicio, estábamos en nuestro derecho de hablar de lo TERRIBLE que fue. A estaba siendo un trabajo que valía la pena por eso. No estábamos tratando de ser irrazonables, su colega se acercó y nos escuchó gritándonos unos a otros y dijo lo que está pasando, no hay mal tomar el cargo de servicio de eso está bien. Al final otras personas de mi grupo estaban felices de pagarlo y dejaron una propina. Estábamos haciendo todo lo posible para reparar y disfrutar de la experiencia. Y Munchies, antes de que comente con acusaciones y se niegue a aceptar la responsabilidad de su miembro del personal horrendamente grosero , la excusa "esperó 45 minutos por sus bebidas fue porque estábamos tratando de lidiar con la situación que causó" no es lo suficientemente buena. ¿Qué situación? ¿Cómo señalarle que su acuerdo del sistema de reservas no menciona el gasto mínimo de £ 6, o no lo hizo para nosotros, causando una situación? Todo lo que necesitabas hacer era disculparte. El resto de nosotros gastamos más de las £ 6 y habría sido feliz de cubrir a quien no gastó nada. Pero debido a su inútil aleteo y señalamiento de culpa que conduce a un servicio horrible que no queríamos. Qué horror. Horriblemente. No entiendo cómo puedes dirigir un negocio como este. El cliente siempre se equivoca, ¿eh? La pobre pareja se sentó escaleras abajo con nosotros pagado £ 8 por expreso, que es de 20 minutos y pagado por café en la parte superior de eso. Ni siquiera les dieron un menú para mirar.

I loved this cafe!! They had 8 cats you can pet and play with, we only had drinks but they had many option to choose from! The place had two floors and loads of spaces for the cats to relax in. It’s clear the workers love those jobs there and the cats were really friendly. Would highly recommend and I would love to go again!

Lovely atmosphere and delicious food, I will be back!

This is such a great place to stroke the cats and have a can of drink or a slice of cake. Its amazing and I certainly recommend it to anyone who’s a fan of cute cats! Your cats are so friendly and loved climbing on our table and my partners lap. I rate it 100 and will certainly visit again❤️ 🐱

Incredible atmosphere, cats are very well looked after and super friendly while recieving loads of attention, they also enjoy playing. Very good drinks and lovely staff!

We met the cutest furry friends ever. Venue was designed beautifully for their residents best living conditions and they seemed all happy happy cats bonded each other. Love to visit them again once we are back to Brighton.

*Edit* There is not a word of truth in the reply! Blatant lies! Waste of Money. £11 for a 55 minute slot is extortionate, you then have to spend £6 per head which isn't hard. But our main issue other than the poor cats being overwhelmed from non-stop attention, and trying to hide and escape the humans, and the music which would have been relaxong if it hadnt have been so loud, was the service. Friendly enough but Creams levels of slow and disjointed. We waited 10 minutes to be seated, a further 10 to have our order taken, another 20 for half our drinks and finally got the last 2 drinks and cold brownies 3 minutes before the end of our slot. With 5 tables in the whole place I cannot begin to comprehend what could possibly take so long. On top of that the claw machine was broken, we pointed this out to the waiter who promised to fix it and refund us, but that never happened. To be fair we were in too much of rush to finish up and free up our table for the next slot to remind him. Honestly, would not recommend to anyone. Total waste of money.

Cool place👌cute cats😍cosy atmosphere 🔥 recommend tasty tea

Great little cafe with lovely decor and nice atmosphere. Ignore the negative reviews, this is a cat cafe but also their home so quite rightly everything is on their terms, this is all explained in the house rules. My wife and I had a booking for just over an hour and in that time had interactions from all 7 cats. Food was excellent and highly recommend the chicken casserole. Will definitely return.

Very small place and a little expensive but understandable due to pet care bills etc, cats were friendly and entertaining. The cous cous and focaccia were really lovely, especially the cous cous.

Went in on New Year’s Eve with the girlfriend for a relaxed afternoon with cats, only to have someone be rude to me when I ask for a cat to be brought over, and treated like an idiot for even asking that, being told in the most disgusting cadence “uhhh what, they’re free cats no” while I (and the rest of the customers actually getting the service they paid for and being engaged politely and informatively by staff) sit in a cage against a brick wall, while they charge ridiculous prices and talk down to people if they even think about touching the cage. they have ignored our emails for a refund after treating us in a downright obnoxious manner and staff and owners obviously have a my way or the highway attitude disguised as a rescue centre just as a means to feed their own egos they don’t care about the cats, they don’t care about your experience, avoid INb4 response of mehmehmeh sorry we don’t prioritise you over the cats, you don’t even provide a service, you don’t know how to serve, you shouldn’t be a business. End of.

Friendly staff - human and nonhuman alike - in a comfy atmosphere ensures a great time.

Absolutely love this place! Ash is so lovely and the cats are super cute and friendly. I’ve been to quite a few cat cafes and this is by far the best because of how adorable and approachable the cats are. Definitely worth a visit

Super place keep up the great work that you do.

Visited today with my cat crazy son and we had a lovely morning. The cats seemed really happy and well looked after. The lady serving us was very friendly and patient with my son and the coffee and cake were delicious. Will defo be back. Thank you!

Lovely place to go with your friends. Very comfortable, cosy atmosphere with the best chocolate cake ever 🫨 The cats were the cutest and our 45 minutes booked time flew by so quickly. The space is a little small but so full of love <3 I also love the fact that they support local artists and there is so much cute cat art!!

Lovely little place, the cats were lovely too. HOWEVER, poor selection of cakes/pastries. The banana bread didn't appear to have been anywhere near a banana, it's virtually impossible to make dry banana cake if it has banana in it. My daughter's partner's was dry and tasteless. Even worse, my daughter was given the end piece which was like a brick. Under no circumstances should it have been served to a paying customer. If you can't see this for yourselves, frankly, I don't have the energy to complain.

Visited today with my wife and twin girls. We had an amazing time with the cats who were so cute and engaging. Also the homemade chocolate and banana cakes were delicious. The cafe provides a lovely home to a lot of rescue cats. Highly recommend a visit.

Absolutely incredible experience, the cats are very calm and look well looked after. Coffees were lovely too and staff super friendly. Very comfortable atmosphere, 10/10 would definitely recommend!!

Met some very contented cats, had a ridiculously delicious peanut maca smoothie and was served by the friendliest, kindest staff. A really special place, what a treasure. Thank you for creating such a beautiful space, I’m excited to come again and share with more friends.

We were on our way to The Pier, when we saw this magnificent place. Having attended cat cafes on previous occasions, I was pleasantly surprised that they had immediate availability. My first impression was that the members of staff were extremely nice. I asked if there were any bookings, expecting to be told that the place was fully booked. We were obviously pleased when we were informed that there was sufficient space. Compared to other places, this particular cat cafe was cramped. The cafe wasn't full when we attended and had all the tables been occupied, it might have been too overwhelming. Furthermore, the toilet was located downstairs (I do not know what happens if there is someone who has a disability which makes it impossible or difficult to use stairs) and the door is not conducive to having any privacy. On the other hand, the owners have clearly made an effort to create a certain vibe, but it would be lovely if they invested in a door which would generate a higher degree of privacy. I do not really like writing negative things, but I just want to convey my experience as accurately as I can. While food was not one of my top priorities (I was more interested in the cats), it was nice to see the owners made an effort with the menu. My partner asked for recommendations on the vegetarian options and one of the members of staff was able to give a coherent answer. She suggested the Aubergine Caponata.This is why it is so important that members of staff are able to eat the food so that they can recommend items. The background music was nice and the three cat paintings on the walls to resemble celebrities (at least I think that was the purpose) was a nice touch. Although I do recommend this cat cafe, it is an extremely cramped area. I think that this might make it difficult for members of staff to do their jobs at times because of the space. Although we did enjoy our time at this cat cafe, I also want to reiterate that the toilet wasn't sufficiently private. Many thanks to the members of staff who helped to make our visit enjoyable.

Visitó en el espolón del momento , al igual que visitar Brighton por el día . Me alegro de haberlo hecho, que maravilloso hallazgo. Los gatos eran sociables y estaban todos despiertos (la mayor parte del tiempo de todos modos ) pero eso es gatos para usted , todo en sus términos pero todo genial, sin embargo . La joven señora (miembro del personal) era muy amable y servicial y mi Chai Latte y pan de plátano fue spot en . Muy contento, muchas gracias, gran valor para .

Really love the vibe of the place. The decor is gorgeous and the staff are lovely. The cats seem very happy and well looked after, they have a room they can use to get away from people if they want some space. My only qualm is that the food is pricey for what it is.

Love it .. cozy and relaxing little cafe with amzing food and drinks. Cats and staff so friendly and welcoming and highly recommended to visit if you in brigthon.

Had so much fun! The staff were amazing and the cats were so happy and playful, drinks were fabulous and the food was delicious. Recommending to all my friends ♥️

Gatos amistosos que están felices de socializar con usted, sin olores desagradables de comida para gatos o arena para gatos. El pastel estaba bien y los cafés estaban tibios, lo que fue una pena, sin duda se podría mejorar con mejor pastel.

Went here with one of my clients first time going lovely place beautiful cats very freindly great staff very relaxing place to be

I love the cats here because they accept almost any type of stroke. Even belly rubs, plus the food and drink is nice but I would highly recommend that you go downstairs as it has a nicer atmosphere.

Well worth a visit! Friendly staff and gorgeous cats. Definitely recommend booking to avoid disappointment and have a look at the menu before arriving so you can order quickly after arrival and maximise time with the cats. The cat’s safety and wellbeing is clearly taken seriously as they can come and go as they please and have an area they can go to that cannot be accessed by customers. Cocktails were delicious and appreciated the staffs willingness to make one virgin at our request.

Amazing place!!! The people are incredibly friendly and helpful! Also, the customers around us were all very nice. The energy and chill vibes made me incredibly relaxed. As a cat lover this place was amazing to visit. I highly recommend! The food is amazing - I recommend the chocolate cake and the chicken shish wrap - it was delicious. Everything about this place was incredible. Will be visiting again. ❤️🐈🐈‍⬛

Very excited to find a cat cafe and the resident felines were of course gorgeous. Staff super helpful and friendly, will definitely be returning. I think booking downstairs is the best plan but we were encouraged to roam between the main floor and basement.

Had a great visit with my daughter who has autism so can be nervous a lot but was very mellow and chilled after a hour with new furry friends Great staff that made you feel welcome with fast service on drinks and positive attitudes Will visit again soon

A great hour with some fun new furry friends Staff where wonderful and attentive Speedy drink order and delivery My daughter and I had a enjoyable time Was especially relaxing for my daughter who has autism so being somewhere she could feel comfortable was amazing

Lovely cats, and the manager obviously looks after them well. Very comfortable visit, lower rating is because of other member of staff really slacking with our drinks. Since they cost £6.50, we expected pleasant smoothies as described, but sadly i think as we visited at the last slot available, he could to be bothered to get all the bits out and make them properly. We received lukewarm coconut milk with fruit pieces floating in it. It was very unpleasant but he was rushing to close up so didn't feel comfortable bringing it up with him.

Kind of weird vibe. Staff member that we interacted with wasn’t super friendly. Stairs down to the dungeon were steep and had to trek up them to order a drink which was odd rather than have a staff member take it. Drinks took forever to come. Cats were cute and well looked after. Drinks when arrived were well presented and tasty.

Lovely food , great cocktails and gorgeous cats. The people are lovely too 😻

Lovely staff, delicious coffee and food (we had the Turkish halva and a banana bread), and most importantly, wonderful cats! All cats are so adorable and they all have such unique personalities. It's so funny to watch their interactions (especially Oreo and Biscuit 😆). You can really tell all the kitties enjoy their environment and are so comfortable around guests. We definitely recommend visiting!

Lovely place and lovely kitties! The food and cocktails were perfect, and the atmosphere was great. Would definitely go again!

Lovely little cafe, very cute cats and the food and cocktails were tasty!

11.95 for two tacos with a stale shell, cats were cute tho. Oh and the focaccia had nowhere near enough salt and bit soggy

NEW REVIEW 14th Sep 2024: This Cafe/Bar has now converted into a Cat Cafe/Bar and is excellent, I've been a few times since it changed, I've tried a few of the Tapas dishes which are tasty, the cocktails are great and coffee perfect. The Cats are very Friendly, they vary in activeness and playing depending on when you go but even when they're resting they're beautiful to admire, you can tell they are well cared for and happy. The Prices for Food and Drink are what you'd expect from a Cafe/Bar in central Brighton and the fee to book a table (Welfare fee) is expected considering they have to look after the cats and is cheaper than the cat cafes i've visited in London. Overall a lovely place to visit. ORIGNAL REVIEW from a Year ago: Amazing little cafe/Restaurant/Bar. The food is fabulous for Brunch or dinner and it converts into a really nice bar in the evening. Very dog friendly and has a resident golden retriever!!!

Edit 05/24: not sure what happened but it’s all changed now! There are no waffles or pancakes and the savoury stuff wasn’t particularly tasty but a bit dry. This is so sad! 😭 Literally one of my favourite places in Brighton. They’re food menu is hard to beat and I just love to have a nice coffee and smoothie sitting next to Alex. No surprise they’re always full!

Was very excited hearing a cat place has opened in Brighton and munchies did not disappoint! Came here with my partner and we sat in the downstairs area, definitely the best choice! The cats would come and go as they please, and the staff were very nice and respectful. I got a coffee and my partner had an Acai bowl which was amazing! Definitely will be back - such a lovely environment and you can tell the cats are happy and comfortable. Such a lovely time :)

Me and my husband visited this place this morning. Unfortunately, we didn't like it. We are travelling a lot and we have seen so many cats cafes in different towns and countries. Very sad ,but this one was the worst one. We were sitting downstairs. The place is very small. Not many cats around. And smells not very nice... Food was ok,staff friendly but this wasn't the main thing we were for.We had booked for 1hour 15 min,but we left earlier because there was nothing to do and nothing to see. No cats to play with or watch them walking around. We paid £26 to book us in and this is way too much for what we got. We also spent £23 for food and drinks which is ok. Atmosphere wasn't enjoyable. Everything is very squished . On our way out we been asked if everything was ok and I wanted to be honest and said we didn't like it. Staff tried to explain us why they can't get more cats and other things. I do understand this is different than normal coffee shop,unfortunately ,understanding doesn't make us feel better. If you want to visit cats cafe,look for different one. One quite good is in Eastbourne.

Had a lovely time here with some incredibly sociable and friendly cats - and very pleasant human staff, to boot! The cats all had their quirks and working out how to get their attention was a fun game in and of itself - mean ol' Oreo thinking he's top cat was always funny to see, especially when he kept taking people's seats. Food was nice - not big portions, but good small plate food. Very good cocktails, a bit pricey but had flavour profiles you don't see often. Active space was a bit small and pokey, which was actually fine thanks to the careful in/out flow of booked groups, but made walking past each othed a little tricky. Worst thing to report was the downstairs smelled strongly of, uh, cat toilets - and I can hardly blame the staff for their cats following the rules. A fun day out with some fluffy grumps!

I understand for a small business it is difficult especially to feed and care for the cats, however the food here is VERY expensive and very average. The options are very limited and for an expensive entry fee two people could end up spending £50 pounds for a 1 hour ‘experience’ with extremely mediocre food. There aren’t many choices of food either. When we went in the place stank of BO or something putrid & the animals weren’t particularly engaging and mostly kept in the corners so we just sat there for 50 minutes. P

Would definitely recommend for dates! Went with my girlfriend, and had a brilliant time. The staff are super friendly and allowed us to roam upstairs and downstairs to see all of the cats and say goodbye to the cats after our time was up. The cats are varied in how willing they are to play, but all were very friendly, all seven of them! Our drinks were also great! Would 100% go again :)

I have been to other cat cafes which were better. This one seemed a little cramped. One very small upstairs room with only enough space for 3 tables, each seating 2-3 people, and a similar sized room downstairs. The downstairs room is a bit of a twilight world with black walls, neon decor and low lighting. The cats all seemed happy and well cared for. We got to spend some time with them, which was great. One thing I would say is to think twice about booking downstairs if you have mobility issues of any kind. The stairs are very deep. I nearly fell down them as I wasn't expecting such a large step down the first one. Then I nearly needed help getting back up as I have arthritis in my knees, and there's little to hold on to once you get near the top of the stairs.

Great quality food & coffee. Lovely design, featuring cats with all sorts of personalities!

Amazing time here! The cats are so lovely. We went at around 2pm and all the cats were chilling out and napping, and all wanted a good cuddle and a scratch, especially Oreo and biscuit. Will definitely be back!

Had such an amazing time at Munchies!!! Food was amazing and the company was even better! Will definitely be coming back and 100% recommend getting the most amount of time you can!

Lovely staff. Really nice atmosphere and brilliant food. Watch out for biscuit tho he might take it. Really nice place would recommend

Really yummy food and coffee, very reasonably priced. All of the cats are super cute and friendly. Highly recommend!

Cats were gorgeous, service was great, the coffee was very nice but the food was a let down.

Really expensive, pushy staff insisting on buying drinks and food. Barely any cats and a tiny cramped space. The downstairs stank of cheap air freshener, searching through reviews it seems it's used to cover up the smell of rancid cat urine, lovely. The single cubicle bathroom door is slatted, providing zero privacy. The staff are really rude, condescending and pushy. Having a £6 spending minimum after you *pay* for your tickets is really atypical and misleading. The cats seemed really lethargic barring one kitten, and also not very well groomed. The downstairs is really humid to a point of being uncomfortable, either from damp or evaporated urine. The menu is very poor, everything is overpriced and underwhelming even to read. The coffee is mediocre and both the odd selection and the pricing makes it very difficult to spend close to ~£6 to meet the £6 additional spend. They use lots of cloying fragrances to mask the smells and refuse to offer refunds on the ticket fee if you have a less than satisfactory experience, the staff tried to charge us for the drinks we were pressured to order, giving us first a minor discount and then conceding to knock the ~£8 drinks off, but seemingly no refund partial or otherwise of the tickets was possible. All in all a very bad way to run a business imo, and probably won't stand the test of time. We practically spent all of 20 minutes of the 50 minutes there once time to disinfect your hands and getting pushed to order drinks and receiving a repeat lecture from the staff on the house rules is deducted. Just avoid it, go to a nice cafe in town, or even better go to one of the java whiskers cat cafes when you're next in London to see a properly run cat cafe.

Such a cute experience and really nice drinks!

Very good. Super calm atmosphere, will definitely be coming again.

We paid £30 to get in to the cat cafe and was made to feel uncomfortable saying there was a minimum £6 fee for each person for drinks and food. We were not aware of this and was told we have to ordered something. We only stayed for 10 minutes when we paid for 50 minutes with the cats as they made us feel like we shouldn’t be in there. They need to make this more clear. Also, smelt really bad of cat wee in the downstairs room

Disappointing experience at the cat bar. As soon as we arrived, a strong smell of cat urine filled the basement, which made the atmosphere unpleasant. The service was extremely slow which ruined our time. Despite the original idea, the hygiene and quality of service really leave something to be desired. The cats are very affectionate but I don't recommend this place

Quite tight and cramped, but that's kinda expected and can't be helped due to the venue. Bit expensive, but can understand the costs due to the cafe not being able to cater to many people at a time, plus extra costs of looking after the cats. Overall a nice a chill experience with lots of friendly cats of all shapes and sizes... food was simple, but nice and came out fairly quickly.

Spent an hour here with 2 friends, the style and decor was very basic as well as the food to be quite low quality and highly priced. Of course we understand the profits are helping the cats so we didn't have too much of an issue with this, we went for the cats which of course were the star of the show but wouldn't go back for the food. Staff were friendly but service was slow.

Staff were polite and service was slow. The £9.95 charge per person was expected, however I was shocked at also having a minimum spend of £6 per person on top of this for a 50 minute slot. So £16 is the true charge per person. Although I was told the minimum spend per person fee was on the website our slot was booked over the phone and no minimum charge was mentioned then. Cafe itself was quirky and the cats were cute. So for 3 people 50 minutes and 3 drinks (I was told I had to order food or another drink to meet minimum spend requirements) in the cafe came to £48.95! Will not return and would also not reccomend to others- shame as the idea of the cafe is great. Minimum spend per person as well at 9.95 booking fee per person is a rip off. Plenty of much nicer cheaper cafes in the centre of Brighton.

Such a overly, friendly place. Came across by accident, whilst we didn’t have a booking (recommended) the manager was happy to find us a table within the restaurant where the cats were all playing. The place is clean, hygienic and staff are so friendly. Good food and drink choices and not at silly prices. The cats were in excellent condition and happy to interact with customers. Proper little characters all of them. Lots of toys to keep them amused and you can play with the cats. Definitely will be visiting again.

Cute cats and a really chill vibe. Nice coffee and food, have come three times already!!

Amazing food and the cats are so sweet and sociable 😍

The cat cafe was amazing with kind staff and a welcoming atmosphere. Also Oreo is sooo adorable!

If you're in Brighton and looking for a laid-back spot to hang out with some cats, Munchies Craft is the place to be. This cat cafe has a cozy basement that’s full of character, with cool, eclectic decor that perfectly fits the Brighton vibe. The food is top-notch—whether you’re after a good coffee, a slice of something sweet, or a light bite, Munchies Craft has you covered. Everything is made with care, and it shows. The staff are all friendly and clearly love the cats as much as the customers do, making the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable.

Amazing food cats were very gentle

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and cats! Food limited but tasty and very nice drinks. Cats clearly well cared for and loved 😍

Very nice focaccia and very friendly cute cats <3 😍

Lovely cafe, beautiful cats & super helpful staff! You can tell the cat's welfare has been put first & that they are all very well looked after. No bad smells & the place was super clean. The food and drinks were great too!🍹 Would definitely recommend this cafe for a relaxing and unique experience in Brighton ✨

Downstairs room absolutely reeks of cat pee. Food is atrocious. Cats r cute but not worth the stench and unedable food.

Kind and friendly staff,terrible service,the cats might be able to go outside because of their collars but still tiny,smells bad,didn’t feel as clean as you would like for a cafe,the cats were cute and friendly,overall would not recommend.

My teen and I spent 20 minutes here, drank a glass of orange each and were charged £16.80. Extortionate... Even at the reduced rate, as per your reply, I therefore calculate the cost should have been £15.40

amazing little cafe haven to visit. The cats are very friendly and well looked after and the cafe/bar is very well managed to keep it in control in favour of the cats wellbeing. And the food and drinks are brilliant!

Lovely experience. The cats were so friendly but also had loads of hiding places and nooks. They had loads of toys to play with and things to climb on. We had the focaccia and açai bowl which were great, big servings for the price. Staff were super friendly and informative, told us all the cats names and a bit about their personalities. Will 100% be coming back!

I went here with my girlfriend! The place was amazing; the aesthetic & the vibes — the decorations are so unique and pretty, the music is nice, the staff is so lovely and most importantly, the cats are really cute. My girlfriend and I had so much fun :) We would recommend this place for a date, for a friends' outing or even alone. If you're a cat lover, go for it! This review is your sign to go <3

Amazing food and drink, and absolutely adorable and friendly cats. Couldn't recommend this place enough! I'll 100% be back

We read the house rules before we arrived, so knew what to expect. You pay a small fee (depending on how long you want to spend there) and then there's a minimum spend on food and drink (we got a hot drink and piece of cake each). The staff were super friendly and helpful, and explained the rules to us as well as letting us know some of the cats' names and personalities. The drinks and cakes were lovely, and as we'd arrived and were the first people in, we were really happy to be allowed to have a quick look downstairs as well as on the main floor to see which area we'd prefer to be in (though had made the booking for the main floor). We really liked the vibe downstairs but it was just a touch too warm for us, so we stayed on the main floor. The cats were so cute, and a few of them did keep their distance (understandably), but some were super inquisitive and seemed to love being petted by strangers and coming up onto our laps (you're not allowed to pick them up but if they do that voluntarily it's fine). We took so many photos (allowed, but no flash) and had a really great time.

got the chicken shish wrap and the triple choc cookie. both really good! we sat in the cat section and enjoyed hanging out with the kitties (: staff were also very friendly

Took our tired little kid in here today for some food. Managed to get a seat upstairs and had delicious pancakes. Prices were fine for the area and service was good. It felt great to de stress after a busy morning and it was the perfect place for this. Also, Alex the dog. The bestest boy in Brighton.

Cozy and comfy place. And great food. Would definitely visit again.

Staff was so lovely and Alex the dog made the experience 10x better. I haven't had many pancakes in Brighton but I can tell you that these were the best I've ever had anywhere. Everything went perfectly together and the pop of colour in the pancakes made this so much better. We went after seeing a photo of their blue pancakes but on the day we went we got pink pancakes (perhaps they ran out of blue colouring) but we didn't mind this at all 🙌 They also do Turkish tapas which the table next to us got and that looked very appetising too. The cafe is small but feels really homely and is very unique and quirky. A hidden gem (or not so hidden) gem in Brighton!

The strangest tasting pancakes I’ve ever tasted. Eggs were hard and the bacon undercooked. Shame really as the manager was nice and friendly, although I felt like I was disturbing her chilling with her mates.

It was lunch time, we were hungry, we wanted to eat somewhere a bit special and we found it here. It might have been just a sandwich and a drink to some but to us it was an experience and a memory of our weekend in Hove/Brighton. The fact that the sandwiches and the service were spot on was a bonus. As for the resident dog Alex, I dare you not to fall for those eyes.....

Great position in the Lanes. Waitress not interested, the manager/owner was lovely. The coffee was nice but the gluten free pancake with egg and bacon is a strange tasting combination. The bacon was undercooked (tiny portion) the egg over cooked, teaspoon of avocado, and the pancakes were very unusual. We chose those as my husband is gluten intolerant and whether the sauce is not gluten free or something else in that dish, but he has been ‘glutened’ and is suffering today. The idea of the dish is nice but the taste is weird.

Chai Latte ❤️ Amazing atmosphere that lured us in. Pancakes with bacon and blueberries 💕

What a hidden Gem, The food and drinks were amazing. Been here on Sunday for brunch as i have heard a lot about their pancakes and decided to just try our chance to see if we could find a space. The moment we arrived they were so busy but they still tried their best to accommodate us. Luckily we get to experience and try their breakfast. I tried their big breakfast with salmon and my friend had the vegan one. We loved the fact that it was gluten free. What can i say! I have not tried pancakes put together this well with pack full of flavour. Also top notch service carried on until we leave. All staff and the owner Ash was incredibly friendly. It was the highlight of our Brighton trip. Definitely will be back!

There's not a huge vegan variety, but what I and my non-veg partner had ordered was tasty, although small for the price

Mediocre breakfast. Pancakes tasteless and doughy - not edible. Minimal bacon and egg too cooked. CBD smoothie really nice! Recommend for drinks only.
