  • 01Espresso and pastries, served at the counter.
  • 02Cafe add-ons that attach to your lounge reservation.
  • 03A cup you can take with you into the cat half.

Door two — the lounge

The cat lounge runs by reservation.

Lounge time is booked ahead so the cats always have room to be cats. Pick a slot, add your coffee, and come in through the other handle.

  1. Pick a lounge time Slots are reserved ahead, so the room stays calm.
  2. Add cafe items Espresso and a pastry from the counter half, waiting when you arrive.
  3. Come in the second door Same block, other handle — the one with the cats behind it.

Cat yoga nights

The lounge floor becomes a yoga floor. Bring a mat and let the cats decide how much they participate.

Reserve a lounge slot

At the second door

Meet-and-greets happen where the cats live.

Meet-and-greets take place in the lounge, among the cats, rather than in a room set aside for it. You sit down with a coffee and the introductions happen at the cat's pace.

Reserve a lounge time and tell us you're coming to meet someone.
