  The high tea is really good, and you get a huge amount of food for a reasonable price. They have a gluten free version too which was delicious. The staff clearly know the cats really well and are happy to show you how they like to play and be petted. Gorgeous cats that are really friendly and enjoy the cuddles.

  The food is a secondary thought when you book a table, but as it turns out, it’s pretty good. We had a ploughman’s with a me-sized portion of cheese (any less is a tragic waste of dairy) and a massive slice of banoffee pie to share, before going back to embracing our inner crazy cat ladies. charliedistracted.com

  Lovely way to start a Sunday morning.As you enter, the cafe/kitchen section is there with a scrummy looking array of cakes (forgot to ask where they get them from! doh!)A very feline looking girl took us through the 1st room (the one you can see through the windows) and downstairs, which is actually cooler I think. Downstairs there was lots of toys, climbing posts and hidey places. We went at 10 in the morning so some cats were still a bit sleepy and would much rather have been lounging around than being pestered by the 2 young kids that were in there. Luckily they found a very playful young cat to play with so the others could carry on sleeping. It was lovely though to see how happy these children were in the presence of cats.The drinks menu is rather large, with a speciality drink in each cat’s honour. Food wise, as we were there for breakfast I had a smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel which was tasty and the fella had a scone/scon (depends if you say it wrong or not).After our belly’s were full we still had over half of our 90min session left and I went round visiting but not touching the sleeping kittys. The friendly staff then found one of the kittens favourite toys to coax it over and I had a lovely 15 mins playing catch the feathers on a bungy rope, before the kitten got a real good grip and stole it from me 🙂 I personally would have been super happy with one just sitting next to me, maybe a gentle stroke but they did mostly seem like they didn’t want much fuss, I’ve heard this can change throughout the day though and they’re more up for attention in the afternoon.It’s a great environment for the cats, not too over crowded and the staff really care for them properly unlike some other cat cafes.I can see why they have the cover charge but it was a tad on the expensive side when the breakfast and drinks all added up. However, it’s an occasional treat out and the only place doing it in England so still worth it. I just wish I got to see where Petra was hiding before I left the building. That’s the biggest fluff monster I’ve ever seen.

  I am an animal lover so I backed this place up as soon as it was on Kickstarter :)The staff were friendly and accommodating to our needs. When choosing a cake to eat (as part of our Kickstarter voucher), I went for the Orange and Dark Chocolate vegan cake, which was a great dairy and egg free alternative. The bitterness of the chocolate was balanced with the sweetness of the orange. My partner had the red velvet cake, which was well presented but he found it a little on the dry side.We went in the morning but most of the cats were more interested in doing their own thing until right at the end, some of them became more playful 🙂 makebaketravel.blogspot.com

  This place is such a cool idea! I would especially recommend if for cat lovers but also for general animal lovers too. From my understanding, proceeds earned at this cafe go to supporting rescued cats. It’s basically a small cafe where you can have afternoon tea and snacks while being surrounded by cats.I would like to say that I was definitely expecting a lot more cats than what I saw! But it was still an enjoyable experience to play with the cats I found prancing around. I would recommend sitting upstairs as downstairs smelled like litter boxes, which can defiantly ruin the appetite. Check this place out!

  Lovely kittens, beautiful and loved. The stuff in the caffe are friendly and welcoming. We’ve had a great fun and wonderful experience. Personally i wish to have played and seen more kittens, but they are animals and not toys xx
