Super cute and cozy cafe, with surprisingly curious and vocal cats and an extremely sweet staff. They even gave me a lint roller after I got cat hair on my clothes. My friend got the mountain tea float and said it tasted like “if [she] put milk into a Lipton tea”; however I was very satisfied with my iced caramel latte.

Super cute cafe! The lady who served us was so sweet and kind. She made sure we understood that the chocolate milk was a powder mixed into the milk and the estimated time to make the pizza toast was 20 minutes. The food was plated really well, and I liked the salad that came with the toast. The cats were chill, they didn’t really approach you so I mainly glanced at them periodically as I worked lol. The background music was calming and the lighting was good too. There were outlets to charge your laptop if you needed as well. Overall I’m looking forward to coming back! 🐈🐈⬛

My favorite cat cafe in Taipei. Lots of cats and they're are all pretty mellow, some more friendly than others, but they all enjoy pets. You usually don't have to follow any of them to get them to come to you. Seating is pretty good, drinks are good. The place is cleaner than some cat cafes I've been to. Bathroom is a little strange (two toilets in one room) but I think it's part of this place's charm. I don't know if the fat orange cat is still there, but it might accompany you to the loo 😂
