Best Cat Cafes in Hong Kong for Feline-Good!
Cuddling a fluffy cat is a great de-stressor after a long day at the office. But for those of us who have neither time nor space to look after a pet, a visit to a cat café is the next best thing.
Cat cafes are a space where you indulge your love of feline friends, canoodle up close, and if you are lucky, have a kitty sit on your knee and purr.
Read on to find the happiest cat cafes in Hong Kong – and unleash your inner feline!
Cats Tea Room
Kowloon Kitty lovers can check out Cats Tea Room which has locations in Tsuen Wan, Mong Kok, and Tsim Sha Tsui.
The owners are on a mission to help stray cats find homes, so if you are considering adopting a cat, this is a good place to observe your potential cat-child in a stress-free environment.
The café serves aromatic teas and freshly ground coffee, cakes, and sandwiches and even provides board games for customer use. You don’t have to be considering adoption to enjoy the Cats Tea Room. Sipping your drink whilst watching the cat safari unfold around you is a great way to spend a relaxing hour in the heart of the city.
Weekday prices are HK$58 for the first hour and HK$38 for subsequent hours. At weekends the rate is HK$68 for the first hour and HK$48 for the next hours. Visit Cats Tea Room’s website, Instagram, and Facebook. For reservations, click here.

Only a ferry ride away, the Cat Garden on Peng Chau Island is a unique place to hang out among the kitties. This cute family-owned cafe hosts many furry residents, many of which are adopted strays, and there is an indoor lawn where you can cuddle and interact with the cafe’s furry felines.
Prepare to find cats hiding in between the woodwork as you shop for cat-themed trinkets and collector goods. You can buy a drink from their café or bring your own food and drink from home. The cats remain of course the stars of the show.

The menu at Cat Island Café goes full feline with cat-themed food and drinks and a selection of dishes like spaghetti, sausages, and pizza.
Younger customers will love the cat-shaped plates, bowls, and the cutest cat-inspired rice balls, and let’s face it – we all love cat-shaped biscuits with piped chocolate whiskers.
The resident cats are a chill collection of fancy breeds and local mutts, who are happy to be stroked, massaged, and generally adored.
Cat Island Café is one of the few places where cat owners can bring their own pets for an afternoon of R&R, so you might meet cat owners and their pets amongst the customers.
