cosy vegan cat cafè in osaka

one of my favourite memories of my time in osaka was at this precious cafè. it is small and homely, with lovely staff who clearly make the wellbeing of the cats their number one priority. the cats are in their own room away from customers and only approach if they want to. the menu is small but delicious, with home-style japanese comfort foods made vegan.

Pros: delicious plates and large portions, well-looked after cats, friendly staff

If You Want To Eat, Make Sure You Visit On The Correct Days

The food in the photos looks really good. It's a shame that we weren't able to order any of it. Unfortunately, prior to our visit, it wasn't clearly noted online that Neu Cat Cafe only serves meals from Saturday to Monday (It was in the reviews here but not the info, so full research really is something!). The location is also quite out of the way so there was some frustration to have to settle for just drinks when we were hungry.

Having said that, how frustrated can you be when there's so many cute cats to play with? It's a lovely place for them to spend their time and it's obvious that they are well cared for. The place is clean and there's a lot of information displayed about all of the cats.

The coffee served wasn't anything special and it is quite a steep price to pay to spend an hour with the cats, but again, with it being a small operation that intends to take care of a lot of cats, it's worthwhile. We were even happy to buy some of the merchandise that they sell on the second floor. The cat room on the second floor is also very comfortable and shut off, so was a nice place to spend most of our time.

It's a nice place. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth supporting.

Pros: Cats are well-taken care of, Comfortable place to spend some time

Cons: Food unavailable when we visited, Is really quite far out of the way, get walking, Expensive for an hour of cat visitation

Cute little Café

Leider gab es zu dem Zeitpunkt an dem wir ankamen (17Uhr ?) kein Essen, obwohl geöffnet war. Sehr schade. Der Matcha-Latte war sehr süß aber lecker.
Die Katzen machten auf mich einen genervten Eindruck. Vllt waren sie bereits bedient mit spielen für den Tag. Aus Respekt für die Katzen sind wir schnell wieder gegangen.
Der Service war überaus nett und zuvorkommend.

Meiner Meinung nach ist der Raum auf zwei Stockwerken aber zu eng für die Menge an Katzen. Und es wurde eine Katze (oder 2?) in ihr für-immer-Zuhause abgeholt, dabei blieb eine Geschwisterkatze zurück. Die Trennung fiel sichtlich schwer und die dann traurige Katze hat mir das Herz zerrissen.

Enjoy your food while looking at cute cats

Hidden in a back alley. Small place focused on the cats. If you want to have some time with cats you have to pay, no need to buy food. But if you are hungry and want to spend time with cats, do both😄(or just eat without cat time). Menu is small, but focussed. Area to eat is separated from the cats, but you can watch the cats through a window while eating.
When we have visited the place, food was only available Sat-mon, drinks every day.

Pros: Cats are in good condition and getting great care, Eating area is separated from cats

Beautiful walk to lovely food

A short and quaint walk from the station down several alleyways to a hidden gem. It's clear that the staff make the cat's wellbeing and welfare the priority and their system is fair. We didn't have time to interact with the cats but we saw how well they're looked after as they await their forever homes. Please support this movement if you can

Amazing cats and super nice staff

The food wasn't the best we've had, but the atmosphere was amazing. We had so much fun looking at the cats while eating and then playing with them afterwards.

Pros: Cute cats, The foam on our London fog was shaped like a cat

Cons: Food wasn't amazing

Unexpectedly good!

The restaurant was hidden in a residential area, so I questioned whether I was going the right way or not.
When we got there staff was polite and the plate I ordered had flavors I didn’t expect to like. The Dessert I ordered, I didn’t think I would like but I ended up loving it. Would come back again.

Pros: CATS, Cleanliness , Food

Cute cats!

I was so excited that there was a vegan cat café in Osaka. We only ordered drinks which were okay. The cats are adorable but mostly preferred to sleep. Staff are really nice.

Fun and cute

I went here mainly to play with cats, I did not order anything since I just had lunch prior to coming here. I like the location, it's quiet and cozy. I enjoyed playing with the cats. I love that they are all rescued and for rehoming. Highly recommended. #Veganuary

Decent food and fun with cats

The food wasn't really that impressive but overall we had a great time. It was okay for a light lunch. The bolognese was sweet, which was kind of odd. The noodles were nice though.
The best part was the cats - our hour went really fast. Def recommend if you're a cat lover.

My happiest Osaka memory

My happiest memory of Osaka was this cat cafe; you could tell that these were rescue cats as some of them had old injuries. In my opinion, this just made their cuddles and mischievous antics all the more loveable and admirable.

The staff were beyond kind and helpful, and the vegetarian food was delicious! I would genuinely revisit Osaka just to come back to this cat cafe!

Pros: Rescue cats (so cute and snuggable), Delicious vegetarian food, Very kind and helpful staff

Cons: Nothing

I thought it was fine

Very cute place. If I had to rate just for the drinks, I'd probably give it 3 stars, but the space itself is really nice and they seem to take good care of the cats.

It was quite pricey (I do appreciate it goes towards helping the cats). I ended up buying a lot of unnecessary but cute merch

Pros: Cats, Cats, Cats

Cons: Drinks were ok, Pricey

Very comfy place

With a bunch of vegan plates and many cats I felt very comfy in the space. They also have strict hygiene practices which shows they are doing a serious job in both with puppies and people

Pros: More than three options on the menu, The vegetarian options have a protein food

Cons: The place is a bit small, I saw only two tables

🐈 Such a wonderful experience 🐈‍⬛

I was a little worried headed into this place because we have 4 cats and know how much care they require but we were so impressed. The owner is a lovely woman who obviously cares for all of the cats deeply. The space is immaculate and the cats are very happy. In fact I wish my 4 cats got along as well as they do! There are 2 levels of cat rooms. There are also enclosures to give some cats the space they desire. We were lucky enough to have some kittens in the room when we went. All of the cats were lovely, well adjusted and affectionate. This cafe really does help them to live the life they deserve. The end goal is to rehome the cats into forever families. The food was so delicious. We opted for a salt and pepper set, a sweet and sour set, an iced matcha, hot matcha and a ginger ale. I also bought a bright yellow jumper with veggies and the recovering cross eyed kitty image printed onto it. Please support this place 💓💓💓

Great place

Staff is really friendly and they seem to care about the cats. I paid to spend time with the cats and then ordered a matcha. The matcha was so cute and tasted amazing.
A bit hard to find, but I don’t really have any advice as to how to find it because I accidentally stumbled upon it:

The Best!!

The cats here are sooo sweet and cuddly which is not normal at most cat cafes. I loved playing with them. Eating right next to the cat area is great and the food was super delicious and fresh. The cat matcha latte is also adorable! Make sure to buy some of their merch or one of their gatcha cat pins💕

Delicious and nice atmosphere!

I visited here in 2019. The ambiance and atmosphere was very cozy. The food was delcious! I'm not a huge cat lover, so I didn't play with or interact with the cats much, however they were cute from afar. If you love cats, you will love this place!

Adorable and well cared for cats 🐈

We came around 19:30, so we had to choose between time with the cats or having food, and we choose to play with the cats for 1500¥ for one hour per person. Before coming in you have to take off your shoes and put on socks if you weren’t wearing any. You also have to wash your hands. There is no strong smell when you come in, which is good. The cats were happy, playful, and enjoyed being pet. I feel like these cats were well taken care off, in contrast to a lot of other cat cafes in Japan. Probably the only cat cafe I would go to as a vegan.

Come here if you love cats, vegan food, and want to relax

Mostly soy meat plates with various sides, some soup, and rice. The place itself is small and a little hard to find, but very quiet and ideal if you want to relax for a while. You can see the cats in the room next to the one you can eat in, which is nice!

Adorable cats, delicious food!

Played with the cats first. They all seemed very healthy and well taken care of, so very cute!

The food was delicious, it was nice to have brown rice again which seems more rare in Japan. The matcha latte was really good, and adorable.

The cafe area is quite small, so better for only a couple of people. Also it was a little tricky to find. Google maps seemed the most accurate. When you start getting close, look for the yellow “Neu” signs on the little gateway to an alley. After a couple turns, you’ll see large windows and adorable cats and you’re there!

Pros: Cute, Great food

Cons: Small eating area, A little hard to find
