First of all the staff here are extremely friendly and helpful, they attend to you right away.
I had a good time there and would've rated it five stars but the cats aren't too friendly or interactive, they avoided all of my attempts to play with them and majority of them were asleep. Having had cats of my own, i understand that cats are living creatures and take naps all the time, but these cats were barely active. So don't expect to have a very fun experience, a bit boring.
But in all i had a great time, and the food was great.

Pause is such a great little wholesome spot. Because there are lots of cats it’s more likely you’ll be lucky enough to catch one in a more active state (and not snoozing away the afternoon like most!) but obviously you shouldn’t come in expecting to be steamrolled by them!
I absolutely love that they mostly stick to plant-based ingredients in their food (the soy vanilla ice cream is SO good) and that they make an effort to hire people with disabilities - we should therefore be extra patient to the volunteers as not all disabilities are visible, and they are helping out unpaid to keep the cafè going for our enjoyment!
Also as a bonus, the coffee is great!

an amazing place. it had such a great atmosphere and the cats were so lovely. the food was delicious and comes in great portions! a little bit on the pricey side but the café puts the money back into the cats, so it's totally understandable & it's not too bad anyway. will likely be coming again!

An amazing place, very friendly. But ! The only thing we don’t really liked , that all 🐈⬛ 🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈been very sleepy . They must feed them with some kind of sleeping pills because it’s not possible that all cat been sleeping all at the same time and no possible to wake them up . Even after they wake up the can’t open even their eyes, like drunk . I do understand that this done because of calm them down but it’s not nice . You can’t play with them or even watch how they playing . So we just came downstairs to have a coffe and watched sleeping cats 💁🏻♀️
My son was so excited but there wasn’t possible ti spend nice time with cats as they was sleeping even after some of them did wake up - they was just like drunk . The atmosphere is great . Enjoyed coffee and tea. But …. Will not go there again.

I teach the Monthly Cat Yoga classes, the staff are very welcoming and ensure the room is set up and the students are welcomed and taken care of after for hot drinks and food. The Cat Yoga classes are available to book via their website.

Lovely cafe, staff were welcoming, and the cats were so sweet. The food was good and reasonably priced, and the atmosphere was lovely in the quiet moments. Will definitely be coming back again

Such a great concept a little cat rescue sanctuary/cafe. And the cat-puccinos are divine!

Had a great time with my wife & daughter 16/7/23. Paid for my daughter to get a full tour and she got to meet all the cat and found it hard to pick her favourite cat. But she loved it when 1 of the cats (bear I think) came to sit with her as she ate her lunch. So thanks to the super friendly staff for making her feel like one of the team. Will most definitely be returning for some more of the lovely cake to 😂 😋
