    Cute cats and good tea, but I had the worst tart of my whole life (the berry one)... I made my friends take a bite and they could not even swallow it. The crust was undercooked, still doughy and I’m pretty sure it was a health hazard. When I told the staff, they did not do anything about it and even made me pay for it- in fact they discredited all our opinions by saying the taste was just “too french” for us and the waitress said she tried it and found nothing wrong 😂?

    The cats are adorable of course, but otherwise this place was disappointing. On weekends you are required to order from a set menu (hot drink + orange juice + pastry) and will not make exceptions even if they don't offer any vegan desserts (even if you don't want a dessert you'll still have to pay for it). They said that they don't want to compete with the other cat bar (which was closed when we went, thus the only reason we ended up at this one). However, they wouldn't lower the price or make any exceptions if you didn't want one of their pastries (due to dietary restrictions). The tea was otherwise good, but I would not return. EDIT: As can be seen by the GentleCat's response, their staff is also not very friendly or accommodating. It would appear that they have an issue with vegan/plant-based diets, thus I am reducing my rating to 1 star.

    Was disappointed by this place. 1/ on the brunch menu, portions are very small and kitchen absolutely not flexible despite having dietary issue they refused to adapt the menu. Adding to that, despite having a very formal menu, service was sadly slow the day we were in. 2/ the cats 🐈 sadly I hoped to find a place where they thrived however it felt to me like they were more trying to escape & find quiet place to lay down. Some customers are very respectful, others more pushy & insisting to touch them - everyone is different but I felt bad for those cats. What on paper can feel like a good concept felt to me a bit sad. 3/ one good thing I have to give them is the tea selection.

    A cozy spot with cute cats, but be prepared to spend at least 7.5€ on the weekends. They require you to order from a set menu, each set included a juice, tea, and pastry, or just a pastry and juice. I got the metz la douce tisane which was only okay. The blueberry muffin was also good, but not exceptional. Overall a cute spot, just be aware of the restrictions.

    Surprise: No kids allowed… Edit: their comments are unfriendly and insulting as you can see below. There was no warning on their site about the “no kids” policy. I would give them a -⭐️ if I could.

    I don't really know about this place. It was not bad but also not the best. Since they specialize in tea I decided to order a chai latte. It was not bad but it seemed like I was just drinking milk (so not enough spice/flavor I guess). The atmosphere is also not great: I did not feel comfortable and it did not feel welcoming. Cute cats though.

    Great selection of drinks, plenty of options to choose from, but not as many pastries. Loved the café con miel and the Oreo cheesecake. And of course the cats are lovely, cute and very calm with everyone, awesome atmosphere!

    Lovely cat cafe with beautiful and friendly cats. We made reservations reviews suggested and drank chilled drinks on a hot day. Their selection of tea is amazing and can be smelled. You must visit upstairs and see their cat salon/ resting area. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I wish I had time to go again! (Nicole the cat was my favorite.)

    Great place to go to! The cats are all absolutely adorable and they each have a different personality you can discover. In fact they have a catalogue where you can read about each of the cats' life stories. It is totally normal to just walk around the place, pet the cats and take pictures of them (no flash pictures allowed though) and you'll find a hand sanitizer dispenser right next to the door for when you want to go back to your table. Eating and drinking wise they have nice deals for coffee and dessert or snack and drink. Good pricing.

    (Translated by Google) Incredible experience in this tea room. There are a dozen cats wandering quietly in the living room while we enjoy pastries. You must book online to be sure you get a seat because the show is so popular! For pastries, I strongly recommend the speculos cheesecake, a treat, tasty without being too sweet. There is a huge selection of teas but they also have coffee, chocolate and cold drinks. They seem to have brunch as well, but I haven't tried it. The reception was great. In short, I recommend! (Original) Incroyable expérience au sein de ce salon de thé. Il y a une dizaine de chats qui se baladent tranquillement dans le salon pendant qu’on déguste des pâtisseries. Vous devez réserver en ligne pour être sûr d’avoir une place tellement le salon est prisé! Pour les pâtisseries je conseille vivement le cheesecake spéculos, un régal, savoureux sans être trop sucré. Il y a une enooorme sélection de thés mais ils on également des cafés, chocolat et boissons fraîches. Il semble qu’ils proposent également un brunch mais je n’ai pas testé. L’accueil était top. Bref je recommande !

    (Translated by Google) Visit this day. Before entering this bar, I had a little apprehension about this establishment. Indeed, even though this one is full of positive reviews, I took the time to read the equally negative reviews and the owner's responses (which I admit, chilled at the time). So I made the decision to form my own opinion on my own. On site: We had reservations at 2:00 pm and came 1 hour in advance; in spite of this the waiter, very smiling, accepted to install us (the conditions were favorable - few customers at 13:00). Cats are very beautiful and spoiled there is no doubt. Like all living things, they have their own character and I didn't get upset when a cat refused to be petted. These are not toys, it should not be forgotten. The decor is sophisticated, which makes this place a pleasant place. The only downside was the fact that my hot chocolate was lukewarm ... In the end, you just need to know how to read the conditions of access to this bar on the site (children under 12 prohibited, reservations in case of high attendance) or on the sheets that are on the doors at the entrance and the Most negative reviews would be avoided. So I can understand the owner’s annoyance when dealing with people of bad faith. (Original) Visite ce jour. Avant d’entrer dans ce bar, j’avais une petite appréhension concernant cet établissement. En effet, même si celui-ci regorge d’avis positifs, j’ai pris le temps de lire les avis également négatifs et les réponses du propriétaire (qui m’ont je l’admet, refroidi sur le moment). J’ai donc pris la décision de me forger mon propre avis moi-même. Sur place : Nous avions réservées à 14:00 et sommes venues avec 1h d’avance ; malgré cela le serveur, très souriant, a accepté de nous installer (les conditions étaient favorables - peu de clients à 13:00). Les chats sont très beaux et gâtés cela ne fait aucun doute. Comme tout être vivant, ils ont leurs propre caractère et je ne me suis pas vexée dès qu’un chat refusait de se faire caresser. Ce ne sont pas des jouets, il convient de ne pas l’oublier. La déco quant à elle est sophistiquée, ce qui fait de ce lieu un endroit agréable. Le seul bémol a été le fait que mon chocolat chaud soit tiède... Au final, il suffit juste de savoir lire les conditions d’accès à ce bar sur le site (enfants de - 12 ans interdits, réservation en cas de forte affluence) ou sur les feuilles qui sont sur les portes à l’entrée et la plupart des avis négatifs seraient évités. Ainsi, je peux comprendre le mécontentement du propriétaire lorsqu’il doit faire face à des personnes de mauvaise foi.

    Fabulous variety of cats without a compromise on the quality of the food. It’s a tea and cat lovers paradise. We were particularly fond of the new addition to the family; an excitable Somali called Diane. A lovely, relaxing space that we will be revisiting very soon.

    Very friendly staff and many different cats that move freely in the café. It appears that the cats seemed to feel comfortable and at home. Nice atmosphere and more than fair prices for cakes and drinks. Must see in Lyon.

    (Translated by Google) Super disappointing. A welcome too cold for the concept, no adaptation to customers who have a strict diet to respect. Pastries more than to review, nothing crazy Too bad for the customers, the cats do not allow themselves to be approached: / (Original) Super décevant. Un accueil bien trop froid pour le concept, aucune adaptation aux clients qui ont un régime alimentaire strict à respecter. Pâtisseries plus qu'à revoir, rien de fou Dommage pour la clientèle, les chats ne se laissent pas approcher :/

    (Translated by Google) Fantastic experience! The staff are very pleasant and passionate, and the rules are clear. The priority here is the well-being of these beautiful cats, we understand that very quickly, and it's great. Cats are very beautiful, they each have their own little presentation sheet on the website to get to know them and get a glimpse of their character. In terms of the menu, the choice is vast, the drinks are delicious, as are the pastries / cakes. The prices are quite correct, and the price-performance ratio is therefore excellent! Special mention to the teas, the choice is very wide and they are all homemade (it would also be wise to mention very clearly on your site that you have designed all the tea blends, that's a very good thing)! In short, I cannot recommend a visit to this superb cat bar enough. For our part, we will be back with great pleasure! (Original) Fantastique expérience ! Le personnel est très agréable et passionné, et les règles sont claires. La priorité est ici le bien-être de ces magnifiques chats, on le comprend très vite, et c’est génial. Les chats sont très beaux, ils ont chacun leur petite fiche de présentation sur le site internet pour apprendre à les connaître et avoir un aperçu de leur caractère. Au niveau de la carte, le choix est vaste, les boissons sont délicieuses, tout comme les pâtisseries/gâteaux. Les prix sont tout à fait corrects, et le rapport qualité-prix est de ce fait excellent ! Mention spéciale aux thés, le choix est très large et ils sont tous faits maison (il serait d’ailleurs judicieux de mentionner très clairement sur votre site que vous avez conçu tous les mélanges de thés, c’est une très bonne chose) ! Bref, je ne saurais que trop vous recommander une visite dans ce superbe bar à chats. Pour notre part, nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir !

    Wonderful place for everyone who loves cats. And for rabbit lovers (like me) they have one cute rabbit, Edgar. It's a really nice place to spend time, eat, and admire surrounding creatures. By the way, the food was amazing too, everything that we tried here was very delicious. They also have a big variety of tea, tasty hot chocolate, and cakes.

    (Translated by Google) When we close for a week we try not to accept reservations. :) I came a weekend to Lyon and I was happy to come to the cat bar (with my reservation made and accepted) but it was written "closed until September 1st" when I arrived right in front of the shop . Really not cool. Edit response: I haven't received ANY email other than the confirmation email, otherwise I wouldn't have shown up. You barely just changed the hours on google besides, so hello last minute bad time. You made a mistake and don't make you want to come and try again. (Original) Quand on ferme pendant une semaine on essaie de ne pas accepter les réservations. :) Je suis venue un week-end sur Lyon et je me faisais une joie de venir au bar à chats (avec ma réservation faite et acceptée) mais c’était écrit « fermé jusqu’au 1er septembre » en arrivant pile devant la boutique. Vraiment pas cool. Edit réponse : Je n’ai reçu AUCUN mail à part celui de confirmation, sinon je ne me serais pas pointée. Vous venez à peine de changer les horaires sur google en plus, donc bonjour la mauvaise fois de dernière minute. Vous avez fauté et ne donnez pas envie de venir retenter.

  • 5/5 shy p. 4 years ago on Google
    A very calming place. Quiet, pleasant, relaxing. Very pretty and aesthetic. Air conditioner keeps it chill in the summer noon. Very high quality cats napping around! We had some nice conversations in international meow. Furr extremely soft and fluffy. I like fluffy things!!! So I think this is a good place to visit in Lyon, or get some work done. If you have to pick between this and the cathedral, it's an easy choice. There is also a bunny to raise the ear cuteness level to an even higher notch. Meow!

  • 5/5 Ly-Anne T. 4 years ago on Google
    If this isn't a little piece of Heaven on earth, I don't know what is. Good coffee, yummy cakes and GREAT company. You can sit downstairs in the couches or upstairs next to the cat chilling room. There's a little kitten at the time I was there and I almost died of cuteness. Definitely a must if you are a cat lover. Plus it is right next to Perrache Station! Easy to reach.

  • 1/5 Goran G. 5 years ago on Google
    Even cafe was half empty they did not allow us to enter without reservation. Our daughter was highly disappointed after waiting all day too see cats and finally crying after they did not allow her event so see cats for a minute. Looks like that is more important to attract people with cats and make good business than to make place for cat lovers. As I can not reply to owner response I will just add few facts here: 1) nobody mentioned yesterday during conversation restriction about children age and we also did not stated age of our daughter. So we were not aware of that restriction. 2) As I wrote and we said yesterday, we asked that our daughter only see and not pat cats. 3) I am sure that for cats is the same do we have or not reservation. 4) We own 2 beautiful cats and I am sure that our daughter know how to handle them. How you response on my review is just showing how you respect your customers.

  • 5/5 Alexus Grace Lee T. 6 years ago on Google
    They have 6 beautiful and loving cats and a super cute rabbit! The rabbit usually stays in its enclosure, but the cats roam free curling up in your lap or playing with the strings of your jacket. The staff are wonderful, the food is amazing, there's a huge selection of tea and a great student discount! The "chatudiant" is 9 euros which includes quiche+salad+donut+tea 10/10 would recommend!

    (Translated by Google) I have been following the adventures of the residents of this cat bar for two years now, I have already had the opportunity to talk to the managers on their instagram account. This allows me to give an opinion on several points: - friendliness, in fact the latter impresses me every time I come. This place makes you feel at ease, at home and the owners as well as waiters make sure that you are well. - respect for animals, this bar with a unique concept in Lyon does not only live to "make money off the backs of animals" but for its animals. Little residents are treated with so much love and happiness that it could affect everyone, young and old. Cats and rabbits are treated really well, and that's important! - Drinks, how to talk about a bar without talking about these. There, everything is homemade and you can smell it, the pastries are excellent and their teas and chocolates just as much! I personally recommend their Italian dark hot chocolate and its speculos coulis. A delight! Only positive in this opinion, because nothing to complain about. If you want to go, don't forget to book even an hour in advance, it can always pass 😊 (Original) Cela fait maintenant deux ans que je suis les aventures des pensionnaires ce bar à chat, j'ai déjà eu l'opportunité de m'entretenir avec les gérants sur leur compte instagram. Cela me permet donc de donner un avis sur plusieurs points: - la convivialité, en effet cette dernière m'impressionne à chaque fois que je viens. Ce lieu te fait te sentir à l'aise, comme chez toi et les propriétaires ainsi que serveur-se-s font en sorte que tu sois bien. - le respect envers les animaux, ce bar au concept unique à Lyon ne vit pas seulement pour "se faire de l'argent sur le dos d'animaux" mais pour ses animaux. Les petits pensionnaires sont traités avec tant d'amour et de bonheur que cela pourrait toucher tout le monde, petit comme grand. Les chats et le lapin sont vraiment bien traités, et c'est important ! - Les consommations, comment parler d'un bar sans parler de ces dernières. Là-bas, tout est fait maison et on le sent, les pâtisseries sont excellente et leurs thés et chocolats tout autant ! Je recommande personnellement leur chocolat chaud noir italien et son coulis de spéculos. Un délice ! Que du positif dans cet avis, car rien n'est à redire. Si vous souhaitez y aller, n'oubliez surtout pas de réserver même une heure à l'avance, cela peut toujours passer 😊

    (Translated by Google) 3 times that I go there, and three times that I lose track of time in this magnificent place. We feel that the cats are all treated well and they have a quiet little room to rest if they don't want to be touched. The menu is great (although a bit expensive but hey you pay for the quality), the pastries are very good, and the cocoon atmosphere of the living room is really very pleasant. The servers are super outgoing, kind, and patient, we feel welcome. Remember to book before coming because stormed :) (Original) 3 fois que j'y vais, et trois fois que je perd la notion du temps dans ce lieu magnifique. On sens que les chats sont tous bien traité et ils ont une petite pièce tranquille ou se reposer si ils ne veulent pas être touchés.

Les serveurs sont super avenants, gentils, et patients, on se sens bien accueilli. Pensez tout de même à réserver avant de venir car pris d'assaut :)

    (Translated by Google) Very pleasant place, the cats are adorable and all different, each with their own character! The food is delicious, especially the sweet chestnut, the teas are of very good quality, with very varied tastes! A little more toys to interact with the cats would be welcome (Original) Endroit très agréable, les chats sont adorables et tous différents, avec chacun leur caractère propre ! La nourriture est délicieuse, tout particulièrement le moelleux à la châtaigne, les thés sont de très bonne qualité, avec des goûts très variés! Un peu plus de jouets pour interagir avec les chats seraient la bienvenue

    Very good cakes and coffee, stylish interieur. The cats are apparently used to have guests, and the rules, that have to be observed, in my opinion are well thought of.

    (Translated by Google) 4/5 because a staff member scratched my shirt. (Original) 4/5 car un membre du personnel à fait ses griffes sur ma chemise.

    Came in on a Saturday after having missed out on a table the day before. It was lively but far from busy, the back area had many empty seats. We were told by an otherwise friendly waiter that we could only stay if we bought a drink AND a pastry which was a bit odd but we had been looking forward to trying the place out so we agreed. We were brought to a table in the back and when we opened the menu the cheapest option available was a drink and a cookie for 10€. This pricing, the forced pastry and the location of our table made us reconsider dining at the cafe and after sitting at the table for only 3 minutes we decided to leave and come back the next day. When we explained the situation and our plan to return to the staff, one staff member in particular told us that this was unacceptable and rudely explained that he should charge us some undefined fee for taking up their time and threatened to do just that if we repeated this behavior. Id like to give this man the benefit of the doubt and chalk it up to a cultural misunderstanding or a language barrier, however, there is no mention of any such policy on the website or at the restaurant in written or verbal form and I have personally never heard of anyone having to pay a fee for changing their mind about dining at an establishment before having received any food, service or even free water. It is safe to say that we won’t be returning. The cats are cute though.

👍 Nice experience in this new restaurant. Gentle staff, there is a nice feeling. I recommend the salads which are super tasty and creative. Could not experience the fresh juice as the restaurant seems to have some teething problems but I will come back in a few weeks to try more.
