The Cat Lover's Cat Cafe

If you love cats, or want to treat someone else who does, you've come to the right place!

We are delighted to be the first cat cafe in the UK with resident, adoptable cats. Thanks to a successful community crowdfunding campaign in 2013, we opened our cafe in 2014 and have been fortunate to share 11 wonderful years of special occasions, birthdays, hen parties and more with our community of cat-lovers.

In our magical Wonderland forest and Mad Hatters Tearoom, you can play with up to 20 adoptable Cats and Kittens of all ages. If you're interested in adopting one of our cats, join us for a visit to meet them and be sure to speak to the cat care staff about our cat adoption process. To see who is living in the cafe right now, visit the Our Cats page to get to learn who's who!

How does it work?

  1. Book ahead or walk in. We recommend booking ahead for weekends and school holidays.
  2. Pay your entry fee (You can do this when booking online or at the front desk upon arrival)
    Read more about why cat cafes have entry fees on our FAQs page
  3. Wash your hand, take a seat and enjoy table service for your meals and drinks while you enjoy the company of the cafe cats!

Our cosy, independently-owned cafe is in Bethnal Green, East London. We are close to a number of great attractions in the area. Our favourites include the Young V&A, Brick Lane, Colombia Road Flower Market, and Spitalfields Market! Join us for tea as part of a quintessential East London day out!

Please note that our Lady Dinah's Cat Emporium does not admit young children, as part of our cats-first welfare policy. Minimum age for entry is 12 years old.

Where can you find our cafe cats online?

We enjoy sharing the latest news about our cats and kittens. We often adopt and re-home new feline friends.

Check out our Cat Cafe blog to catch up with the latest news. You can also subscribe to our eNewsletter. This way, you will get updates and adoption notifications sent right to you!

We are also on social media and you can find our beautiful cats on Facebook, Instagram, X, Pinterest, Youtube and Tiktok. We are always happy to answer questions about our cats, how we care for them and the services we offer for guests.

Birthdays at the Cat Cafe

We adore hosting cat cafe birthdays and special occasions!

Our current birthday bundle (The 'Happy Purrday' Booking Type) includes an exclusive Lady Dinah's enamel birthday pin and card for the birthday person and a 'table gift' package for every guest. The 'table gift' pack includes a cupcake, a birthday drink, a temporary tattoo and a pair of wearable cat ears for each person in the group.

If you'd like a little less, you also can choose to book a standard 90 minute session and add only the card and pin, or a single pack - celebrate your way!

Our cat cafe bookings team are here to help you if you have any questions.
