I booked the kitten experience and I dont regret one second of it! The staff were so nice and informed me about everything! I even got an ice coffee with caramel and sandwiches which were lovely. I even got company. The kittens were so cute and playful, love that you could adopt them. I got some «merch» as well which I love. Really recommend this for solo travelers, families and couples. Great way to start the day in London!

Took my girlfriend as a surprise and it was a brilliant experience. Staff were really friendly, explained rules really well, happy to help with and gave a generally great service. Food was really really good and of course the cats were lovely, both very happy with the day :)

Had such a wonderful experience in the Kitten Room. The space was so well curated for the kittens and they are so wonderfully socialised already. They were completely unfazed by our arrival and were snoozing in various spots and perked up as it got closer to their dinner. Our host (Ash, I believe?) was just delightful and answered so many questions about the kittens. It's so obvious they are very well cared for while they are at Java Whiskers! I was absolutely head over heels for little ginger Wayne. So excited to visit in future and meet the older cats upstairs also!

So many chances to capture adorable moments! The cats are not completely used to being around humans yet, but we still had some opportunities to get close to them 💘 Of course, they are incredibly cute 🫠💖 Time passed so quickly and it was such a relaxing experience. ★I’ve been to many cat cafés, but this visit felt especially lucky. There were only a few customers at the time (I also came alone), and it happened to be the cats’ mealtime. I got to see many of their different behaviors and take lots of photos. I love cat cafés for many reasons. Rather than going there just to interact with the cats, I enjoy quietly watching them and supporting what the café is trying to do. Reina.Y

A beautiful place with lovely cats. I could personally spend the whole day there. The kittens are very well-cared for, as is the cafe itself – a very pleasant and warm atmosphere. I highly recommend visiting this place, if only for the fact that you can support these darling little creatures with your visit. I fell in love and my heart skipped a beat for the two brothers Rune & Magnus🥹, especially Rune, who could see the reflection. I will definitely visit again. The service was very good, especially at the front desk by Zoe – thank you.
