We had a lovely time here today. The cats roam around, and are well behaved. We were able to wander about and stroke the cats while they were chilling on their climbers. We didn’t eat but had some lovely speciality lemonades.

Great cafe with lots of adorable cats and friendly staff. Must prebook. The cats are quite last and aren’t very sociable but most will let you stroke them as long as you want. They’re fun to watch too:) The person running the cafe is happy to answer your questions about the cats and tell you more about them. Would definitely recommend a visit here.

Found this place in Eastbourne today, lovely outside seating area, really nice reasonably priced food, my partner had juice and Bacon Sandwich and I had the all 6 before breakfast juice. Really nice xxx

Despite giving a 5 star id like to say that it all felt a bit unethical. The poor cats were overstimulated and really wanted no human interface. Even the most chatty cats were just wanting some space. As a cat lover I really felt bad. The cats are surely well looked after but i ask, at what cost? The carrot cake was delicious! The only reason why I might go back, if at all.

Great experience, it was a surprise for my niece and we loved it. The staff was lovely, and the cafe was very clean. We had a delicious and huge waffle with ice cream and yummy toppings. The cats were just so adorable . Definitely recommended .

Went as a present to my cat loving boyfriend (I’m a little weary of cats myself). But we both equally loved it! Lovely atmosphere and nice food- especially loved my latte little touch!

Couldn't have asked for anything else. Wish we could have stayed longer! Absolutely beautiful and will definitely be back. All the cats are so adorable and friendly. Very relaxing environment. Must visit for any cat lovers

We travelled from Swindon to visit family and I took my children for a treat here and it did not disappoint. The cats loved the attention my two gave them, they were so friendly. We enjoyed some milkshakes and a piece of a very tasty carrot cake. The cats are beautiful and so well cared for and the staff are really nice. Next time we come to Eastbourne, we'll be back. Thankyou
