The calm, casual atmosphere makes you feel like you’re hanging out a friend’s place and playing with their pet cats.
The shop is home to about nine cats (domestic short-haired cats and purebreds); each one adorable and cuddly in its own way. Although you can play with any furball you wish to, we’re not so sure about picking them up. There isn’t any rule against it, but these are BIG cats.
At CatNip Café, not only that you can pet these cute kittens, but you can also try tasty homemade desserts like Butterfly Pea Coconut Cake. For the drinks, we recommend Tie-Dye Smoothies; coconut & fresh milk frappe with butterfly pea.
These menus are CatNip Café’s original recipes, which we’d bet you’ll enjoy as much as scratching the felines’ fuzzy chins. It’s a spot where cat lovers should visit for some quality playtime and delicious desserts.
