The cafe usually has at least ten cats ambling around the cafe, sometimes relaxing on a bench next to a patron, sometimes weaving through your feet, and sometimes going for a quiet spot on the balcony. The menu isn’t extensive — don’t plan for a full, filling meal here, but their flavored lemonades are house made, fresh, and delicious, and there are some cakes and snacks available for purchase.
You can make a reservation ahead of time or just show up and hope to get a spot.
