"We had delicious food in a nice corner of the restaurant, as well as a really yummy homebrew tea. The atmosphere and aesthetic of the interior is adorable! I absolutely loved the cats and decor. As a cat lover i was completely satisfied. Also, the wall of drawings was too cute!!! I drew one of their cats, Domino. Amazing experience, i would love to go again!"
