Reviews
this was amazing, the Cappibara were so well cared for and cats were so snuggle. get the special cat food if younwant to be literally covered in cats 😊
It was a very nice and enjoyable experience; you're admitted in sessions, a few people at a time. The staff were also very attentive and polite.
10/10 experience. Freindly staff, clean environment. no bad smells or mess on the floor from the animals. the cats and capybaras were very happy, it was a fantastic experience for us and our young family. highly recommend
It was such a fun experience for our family. Capybaras are so cute and we were able to pet them and feed them. The cats are beautiful and playful too. Athough it is called a cafe, there isn’t serving any drinks or food. We are required to take off our shoes and wash our hands prior to entering. We enjoyed our visit.
Very cute and fun place for the capybara or cat lover! The animals are so sweet and are very interactive when you offer the treats 😜we had a wonderful time. When you are on the street it is not the place with the capybara sign out front on the ground floor, it’s to your left (2 doors over and one floor up)! You might not see it from the street so go upstairs and you’ll find it!
It was really good, we got to meet and feed both capybaras and cats. We could also pet them which was great. You get some treats included but can also buy extra if needed.
while the stars of the attraction are supposed to be the capybaras, it seems that the cats get more attention (probably because they are softer to pat and many more of them around)! there were 2 capybaras and perhaps 15-20 cats. we thought it would be like a cafe setting, but it is more like a room pet facility where a drink is provided from the fridge. also a serving of food is provided to feed both cats and capybaras.
Never thought I would have the chance to meet a capybara, but met two! Sakura and Matcha were very chill and sweet. they were also happy to eat their snacks!
amazing and fun place to stop by at takeshita street. the capybaras were very friendly and the cats were nice as well. staff was great and kept the place clean. the animals were well taken care of!
It was a wonderful experience to see, touch, and interact with capybaras in person! There were two capybaras and over 10 cats. The capybaras were so gentle and cute... they ate constantly, always hungry little ones.
