    Good coffee and cakes and the cats are happy, friendly and well looked after. Vegan options and plant based milks are available. The red velvet cake was moist and delicious.

    Awe!!!! What a great place this is! Ignore the negative reviews, this is a really relaxing environment with great decor and food and most importantly lovely chilled cats!

    Fact: cats are furry therapists. And kudos for amazing cream tea. Makes you forget about waiting times outside and availability. A must-visit for Londoners and tourists alike.

    So great! Lovely staff, really relaxed atmosphere and gorgeous kitties. The price was really reasonable too - we paid about £15 in total for lunch, cake and tea.

    Need to book in advance. Has a good selection of teas and desserts. Would suggest to just be natural the cats are very chilled and happy to play but can be pestered by people chasing them around.

    You don't need more than 2' to see this is the best café ever (if you like cats). Great variety of tea & cakes. Staff is friendly and always try things to get the cats to know you.

    Book online especially if you want to go on a weekend. Really nice experience. Bagels were fantastic and reasonably priced, staff were friendly. Best to go in the morning when the cats are active

    I came here last Saturday. The cats are very sweet, some are playful and others like to walk around and enjoy the atmosphere. Loki is very entertaining. Petra and Romeo are lovely. Wookie is cute.

    Serving for high tea was huge, lovely food and drink. We were asked several times if we wanted anything topped up. The cats weren't really up for playing but it was an extremely relaxing afternoon.

    Red velvet cake is stunning! Gets quite warm so wear layers. The cats are so lovely and the staff take great care of them!

    Food is good and the atmosphere is relaxing. The cats are cats so they might be sleepy or not take a liking to you. But the staff will help you find a playful one and how to get on their good side.

    Be patient and the cats will come to you! Plan to stay at least an hour. Try the rose tea, avoid the apple & cinnamon one (it's bitter) and be quiet & relaxed.

    Order a hot chocolate from their menu! All named after their cats. I got a chilli chocolate one and it was delicious!

    Lovely staff, adorable cats! Yummy cakes, good amount of other people, so it doesn't feel too crowded and you get lots of time with the kittens. :)

    Nice vegan hot chocolate. Vanilla cupcake needs improvement. Nice interior, it is like a big cat house.Friendly employees. Average prices.

    Good selection of gluten free and dairy free cakes. Needles to say that all kitties are adorable!

    Food isn't cheap. Coke came warm. Cats are great :) Go downstairs for more cats and better atmosphere.

    I loved it but having people and kids always and always around the cats with toys and cameras really sets them off :(

    Try going early - you will have a better chance of the cats being awake

    1 of the waitresses is always interrupting customers who are trying 2 play with the cats,it's annoying.We paid to see cats&if you don't want customers feeding them treats,don't sell them at the tills.

    The sofas downstairs are the best place to have a good view of cats wandering around.

    Not catisfied... Creepy and anoying staff who thinks they are "cat-experts". It's ugly inside and you have to be lucky to pet or play with a cat. I touched a cat for almost a second...

    If you think cats will come to you you're wrong. You're paying for seeing (sometimes) cats sleeping or hanging around ignoring you. Salads are good though

    Adam, one of the black cats is the warmest, cuddliest creature who likes to hang out on laps :)

    More like a cat brothel. Exhausted and confused cats and creepy, over-eager customers.

    Im Gegensatz zu anden Katzen-Cafés bei denen ich bis jetzt gewesen bin, muss man hier im Vorfeld Termine buchen.
