As you step inside, you’re greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it an ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee, settle in with a good book, or knock out some work, all while surrounded by charming company—the resident cats!

This café has a very chill and cozy atmosphere, perfect for studying or getting some work done. The prices are reasonable, and the location is lovely. One of the best parts? There are several adorable cats lounging around the area, which adds a really charming touch to the whole experience. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for a relaxed spot with good vibes. There is also an area inside down stairs where you can play pool
