Bit of a long shot but if you have do you order food at the cafe or online? I can only see a way to book tickets but not the food? Any suggestions ?

Cars or cats? I am confused! Smile

We went go a cat cafe in S London a few years back. It was quite expensive for what it was....cup of tea and cakes with the company of cats....but felines not particularly present or affectionate (I get that you are a stranger). We went as my adult autistic son loves cats, but frankly we would have been better having a splendid tea at home with the company of our own pets. I am also (now) a bit ambivalent as to whether having cats as an attraction is entirely to the benefit of the cats.

Of course, if you are talking about cars, I know nothing.

I’ve been to the one in Westfield and we just ordered once we were there like you would at a normal cafe and then they brought it in once we were in with the cats.

It was a while ago though and we just had tea and cake I think. DD had a great time

We went there a few weeks ago. They have a small area when you go in where you order coffee and cakes. Selection is not massive but quality is good. I had oat flat white and DD had hot chocolate and a brownie. Then you pay and they take you through to where the cats are. We paid extra to go downstairs to the kitten lounge and once we were settled they brought the coffees through. It was lovely but the 50 min slot was enough.

We recently went to the kitten cafe in Marylebone (the cat cafe is upstairs) and I was pretty underwhelmed to be honest - the food is pretty basic and the kittens seemed zonked (there were feliway plug ins on the go).
The cat one might be better but overall it was a damp squib.

That’s the bit I wonder about. Their site says they work with a shelter & foster the cats with the aim of getting them all adopted, which is good, so hopefully the shelter only gives them the cats who they think will be ok in that setting.
