Staff and Service

Pros:

  • "First of all the staff here are extremely friendly and helpful, they attend to you right away."
  • "So thanks to the super friendly staff for making her feel like one of the team."
  • "The staff are very welcoming and ensure the room is set up and the students are welcomed and taken care of after for hot drinks and food."
  • "The waiters are very knowledgeable and clearly passionate."

Cons:

  • "The service was sort of lacklustre as many staff didn’t really care to attend our group."
  • "Possibly the weirdest experience I’ve had. A non verbal volunteer woman served us who just stared and made us feel very uncomfortable."
  • "Staff were eerily quiet, lingered silently staring at us when we were seated."
  • "I paid £5 online to book and there was nothing loud and clear about it being a 1 hour slot."

Food and Drinks

Pros:

  • "The food was great."
  • "Also as a bonus, the coffee is great!"
  • "The food was delicious and comes in great portions!"
  • "The food is served in boxes so you can put the lid on quickly if needs be!!!"

Cons:

  • "The food was quite basic and the menu wasn't extensive but the idea is to see the cats, which we enjoyed very much."
  • "Had a weird vibe inside, staff weren’t the most welcoming and was a little sad. Menu didn’t have a great selection and the food was kinda disappointing."
  • "Unfortunately this place was a disappointment. The drinks we ordered tasted very off."
  • "Both of our brownies were really dry and it was more of a dry sponge cake than a brownie."

Cat Interaction

Pros:

  • "Had a great time with my wife & daughter 16/7/23. Paid for my daughter to get a full tour and she got to meet all the cat and found it hard to pick her favourite cat."
  • "I’ve come here twice now and every time has been great! The cats are adorable and they don’t mind being stroked."
  • "Awesome place - like a kitty playroom! Structures designed for them to be able to retreat above and watch the proceedings!"
  • "Lovely little cat cafe over 2 floors in the centre of Bournemouth. It was still nice to see them and have some pets."

Cons:

  • "Don’t expect to have an exciting time interacting with the cats, I’d recommend to bring some work along."
  • "Pretty lacklustre experience. Main reason we went is because it’s a CAT cafe yet in our time there we saw 3 that were awake."
  • "Not really worth the money, pretty much all the cats were sleeping and didn’t seem bothered until we got our food."
  • "All the cats seemed calm and relaxed, the berry smoothie and the chocolate chip cookies were very tasty. Friendly staff, pleasant decor."
