Belfast, United Kingdom•4.8(85)•Play Café

Interact with rescue cats in a peaceful, calming lounge environment while enjoying coffee and refreshments in small, uncrowded sessions.

Kumiko Cat Lounge is a rescue-led cat cafe designed around the wellbeing of both cats and visitors.

We had the most wonderful experience at Kumiko Cat Lounge today, a surprise visit arranged by my husband for my birthday. The staff were lovely and very welcoming, they gave us instruction about how to interact with the cats, they then checked in on everyone and made sure the cats were all ok during the session. We chatted with the staff and they told us about each of the cats and their backgrounds. The cats were a joy to interact with, some more than willing to engage than others but all very calm and peaceful. They are really well looked after, all beautifully groomed and in great health - you can tell how well they are taken care of and how much the staff love them. There was also a Cat-a-log to learn all about the cats, their names and unique personalities. The best part is all of the cats are adoptable! The premises were spotless and very well maintained, and everywhere was so clean! They had hot and cold drinks available with some treats too so you could enjoy the visit to the fullest. All in all the experience was so enjoyable, the cats were a delight to spend time with and staff were lovely. We had the best visit and will be back in the future! Thanks for having us and making my birthday special!

Absolutely amazing experience! I couldn't rate this place better. Me and my husband had a fantastic time. The cats are so nice and chill, the staff are so friendly and helpful and the overall environment is so chill and peaceful. I highly recommend giving this place a try. All the cats are also up for adoption. Will definitely be back :)

Kumiko Cat Lounge in conjunction with local cat shelters promote adoption, whilst also allowing members of the public to have a session with the cats. They are a cafe, but not with traditional tables and chairs. Instead there are sofas, cushions and bench seats and the catering is self-service. You must book in advance and for £12 I had an hour's session with the cats. This activity is NOT recommended for children under seven, because cats need calmness. Love the details including the cat flaps in the shape of cats heads where the cats do their business and furniture.

Finally a cat lounge in Northern Ireland! Went for the first time today and it's such a wonderful place. The cats are all so relaxed and well looked after. They were all happily lounging around while we were there. The staff are all so friendly and the amount of people in each session is a good number so everyone can find somewhere to relax and a cat to look at. Hot and cold drinks and a selection of treats are available in the reception area which you can buy to bring in. Great mix of low and high areas for the cats and I love the decor. Cannot wait to go back.

Im so incredibly happy to have come for a visit today! The cats are settling in well, and are all very soft and friendly ❤️ im afraid I wont be able to stay away for long. I will say this too - its far more like visiting the cats at home and having a cuddle than a cafe that happens to have cats, and I think that is a million percent better 🐈 see you all soon!
