Beautiful place with beautiful food and coffee. Staff where lovely and the premise was very clean and relaxing. Then... we have the Kitties! So incredible!!!! They are amazing and nice and calming to sit there and unwind with them. Made my day! Xx
Been here a few times and The Cat Lounge has never failed to deliver an outstanding experience! The staff are super friendly and helpful, the food and coffee always delicious and don’t get me started on those adorable cats. Brought my nieces here and they loved it, the colouring pages are a nice touch.
I go to the cat lounge on a regular basis. pretty much 1 x week. food that accommodates to many different diets. Delicious food, welcoming staff, good coffee, and CUTE cats that you must see and play with :)
I have been to The Cat Lounge a couple of times now and each time is it very enjoyable. The cats are obviously very well looked after and loved by all the staff. Speaking of the staff, they were all super friendly and approachable, especially Tyrena - she provided the best customer service I have ever received. The food and coffee was lovely and the place was very clean.
This could easily be two reviews in one but I'll focus mainly on the food 🐱. Yes the cats are great but the food? Let's start from the top - coffee ☕️. First of all having a paw print design set me off in a great mood for the rest of the meal but the coffee itself? Quite weak but enjoyable none the less. The milkshake was what you'd expect, a pleasant balance between syrup and milk 🍼. The cabinet selection is vast enough that most dietary requirements will be fulfilled here but not so big there would be wastage which is nice to see! The plated meals were pleasant but nothing I would come back for, unless I was seeing the kittens 😍. Overall this is a fun place that has mainly a focus on the cats but the food is ok!
We were there on a Saturday 12.30-1pm and as much as the cat experience was good there was hardly anything to choose from in the food cabinet unless you were after something sweet. All in all, it was fun. My 10 year old enjoyed it but I think when you've been there once, there's not a huge draw card to go back.
Was a great experience. Coffee was average but I obviously didn't go just for the coffee. Cats were highly amusing and staff were great. Cool place to relax if you like cats
What a lovely location for animal lovers! All of the staff were so friendly & talked about the animals so you could get some background info. Lots of places to sit with the cats & many will have a play &/or sit on your lap.
I grabbed the $15 coffee & cat experience 'combo' - coffee was well made.
It is recommended to book to avoid disappointment but some times/days are quiet & there's no rush

My friend and I were in need of some de-stressing, so last Sunday we popped over to The Cat Lounge, starting the day with breakfast: Pancake Stack for me, Salmon Eggs Benedict for her.
My Pancake Stack ($17.50) consisted of fluffy pancakes stacked between grilled banana and bacon with maple syrup & whipped cream – filling and delicious. I enjoyed this alongside a soothing Dilmah Elegant Earl Grey tea, and a bit of sweetness on the side in the form of a vegan chocolate cupcake. The Salmon Eggs Benedict ($19) was full of wholehearted goodness: toast, sausages, tomatoes, bacon and mushroom. Delicious!
Bookings are recommended for your visit with the cats, located in an area separated from the side that serves food (there’s health & safety signs prior to entering, plus hand sanitiser). For $12, you can enjoy an hour of cat-cuddling time. We entered to a bright, clean and spacious environment full of creativity and colour: art on the walls, boxes to sleep in, plenty of spaces for the cats to play in. The space is truly a fun but peaceful cat sanctuary.
With a sign informing us that cats sleep about 18 hours a day, it’s no wonder most of the cats we saw were sleeping! They didn’t seem to mind people stroking them and all seemed to have good, even tempers. Some of them are more playful, jumping around and exploring, though none of them seemed to want to be picked up.
There’s a small garden area for the cats to enjoy the sun and fresh air, while visitors can relax on the couches in front of a virtual fire. There’s also plenty of indoor and outdoor space to sit, making The Cat Lounge a fantastic place to spend an easy afternoon with friends, family, or kids!
With its great variety of food, friendly staff, and clean, welcoming environment, I’d highly recommend The Cat Lounge if you’re after a unique, extra cute cafe experience!
Definitely worth a visit or twelve! I tried one of the Cat Lounges Mochas and one of their vegan Cupcakes and it was delicious, a rich decadent treat to be sure. I also popped my head into the cat area to see how their collection of fine felines were doing, they had such a range of personalities it was adorable. One of the smoochiest cats (It was Kong Jr - lets not kid ourselves) who put himself on display and got as much love as possible, while after the smooches one of the less cuddly cats gave me a very forceful meow request and then gave an almighty leap into my chest/arms... clearly no saying no to a cat that wants a cuddle!
This place is amazing! My partner and I came here for my birthday, and it was purrfect!
They have separated the dining and cat areas, so you can order brunch or snacks, then grab your take away coffee cup and head into the Cat Room.
The cats are gorgeous and friendly. They were mostly running around and pretty active, so there were lots of chances to play but also a nice sofa set to stop and relax on. The staff are great, and the cats are so friendly and excited to see their handlers. I was lucky enough that one kitty decided to stop and sit on my shoulders for a spell!
The rooms are set up really well, with lots of places for the cats to sit or climb or hide, and a very cute little outdoor area for some fresh air.
While we didn't eat anything, the coffee was great and the food menu looked nice too. Next time!
The drinks were nice here and the menu has a wide variety. Being able to go in and hang out with the cats was cool and they were really cute, relaxed and let you pet them. The staff were really nice too. It's a nice, relaxed, friendly environment and you get to pet cats!!
Took my cat crazy parents here and they loved it. The cats are all so friendly. Very clean inside as well, the staff do a great job here!
Lovely friendly giants!
Lovely indoor space for the cats but most like to squeeze in the rather small outdoor sun room. This is the place good place to mingle with larger breed cats. At the time of my visit there is only one kitten.
It does have a café which you can bring food and drinks into the cats' living quarters.
This place is always tidy and the service is fine but I feel like they let too many people in the cat room. there was around 25 people in the room so it's hard to find places to sit and just relax with the cats. Some cats look too skinny, i can feel their bones and they look so weak. Probably tired of the endless attention they get from the customers. Hopefully there's some rotation and a quiet room that they can sleep in even during the open hours.
A cute little cafe! Entry does cost a little despite a little to do. Mos of the cats were sleeping when we went which was pretty stink but thats cats in general! Very popular as well so may need booking in advance for peak times!
I'd highly recommend it if you're a cat lover :) Must book in due to how busy it can be to avoid disappointment. They had a very large range of cats in a very comfortable environment, they're all very happy to be around people and the staff handle and run it very well.
There is 2 sides to the cafe, so if you only want the food or not to be with the cats you certainly can be.
It's all very open such that most of the cats are in view all the time so you don't have to worry about them all hiding if you turn up.
I'd really recommend it, such a fun and relaxing thing to do with the family.
Kids are welcome but do need to be supervised around them.
Thoroughly enjoyed this visit. Although some may think $12 a tad bit expensive it does go to a good cause in looking after the wellbeing of all these felines. I was a happy cat loving customer 😻
The cats are absolutely adorable and very cheeky. My personal favourite is Midnight (black cat). Didn't have any food but the berry smoothie was very nice.
This cafe is wonderful
The staff were bubbly and friendly. The coffee was good, and the cats are so adorable. Very relaxing and a great way to de stress! Highly recommended.
