NOW FULLY VEGAN - YESSS! - Edit
This cafe has been around for a few years but switched from veg-friendly to fully vegan summer 2019. The menu includes healthy western options such as a range of smoothie bowls, paninis and salad bowls. Has vegan cheese some of which are self-made so won't be found at other places in Chiang Mai, where vegan cheese is very limited.
Read moreThe paninis and smoothie bowls taste fantastic but the real winner for me at this place is the coffee and the cake. The coffee is the best I have tasted in Chiang Mai and a variety of plant milks are offered. They also make their own cakes. Vegan cakes are not that hard to find in Chiang Mai but it is very hard to find decent, decadent cakes, which this place certainly offers.
The prices are reasonable and the location is prime right on Somphet Market. So happy this place has gone fully vegan, I'll now be visiting often.
The manager is an awesome friendly guy who is always open to new ideas, and the waitress is also very sweet. This place will no doubt just keep improving! Bring it on!!

Best cake ever - Edit
We shared two (big) pieces of cake and a Thai Milk Tea and everything was just great. The cream Butter-Peach Cake was delicious but you should also try the chocolate cake! Staff is also very nice! :)

Friendly staff and delicious cake - Edit
When we arrived at the place we were a little bit surprised about the place, looks like it is not finished yet...but the staff was very welcoming and decide to stay for a wrap and coffee!
Read moreThe owner is very friendly and he talks with passion about his food and vegan cheese and fermentation that he has in the cafe and about his delicious chocolate cake.
The wrap was very tasty and my son had a delicious banana ice cream and we decided also about a slice of chocolate cake...was amazing!!
Pros: Not a large menu but good one
Cons: Ok

This was a fun surprise, we had seen churros on happy cow hoping for a treat. However, concept change was under way and churros will only be seasonal from what I'm told by the owner. This does not in any way take away from the fact of what is going on here. We will be returning for lunch at a later date but had a Thai tea and slice of cake before leaving, let me tell you that cake was sensational, it was amazingly moist and a must try. The Thai tea was delicious as well, the owner took the time to make proper tea, steeping for the exact right time, I watched him do this for matcha as well. Anyone who knows good tea and matcha knows this is the way to go, so to find this being done in Thailand was a treat in itself. Please stop by and have a chat with this owner like we did (for an hour!) Well worth it. Cheers.

Vegetarian/Vegan Friendly Cat Cafe - Edit
Our churros were very good, especially with dark choc dipping! It was our second time here. I believe the recipe is original since the owner is Spaniard. We tried it once in Spain but we even think churros here tassted). They also have vegetarian/vegan options available for food, drink, and dipping sauce. The cats were so cute and friendly.
Read morePros: Authentic, Taste great, Vegetarian/vegan options available
Cons: No parking, The food can come a bit slow when busy

Wish I could've gone back - Edit
Picked up a churro snack as I'd seen them on the site, and the personable owner struck up a conversation with us about his experimentation with the ingredients and cooking method. He gave us a second one to try free, which was fresh and perfect, then we went inside to look at the cats and chatted some more.
Read moreI was hoping to come back to enter the cat room and try something more to eat, but they were randomly closed the last few days before I left the city so I sadly could not! Owner also plans to expand the vegan options in the future.
Pros: CATS AND VEGAN STUFF, Churros in Asia, Nice owner
Cons: Randomly closed?

vegan friendly cafe - Edit
I called into Churro Gato Cat Cafe & Churreria this afternoon for coffee and to indulge with a slice of vegan cake ... I chose a coconut cappuccino (฿70) and vegan chocolate cake (฿110) ... the cappuccino was very nice and the chocolate cake was rich and moist and was just perfect ... next visit I will try a soy cappuccino and a different vegan cake ... the owner is very attentive and ensures great food and service... the cafe is clean and cool and located on the opposite Somphet fruit and vegetables market in Soi 6
Read morePros: great vegan options

Guter Kaffee, leckere Churros - Edit
Von dem Katzenzimmer kann man halten was man will. Ich bin kein Fan von der Idee. Die Katzen machten aber einen entspannten bis gelangweilten Eindruck.
Read moreDie Churros sind sehr lecker, und auch der Kaffee ist wirklich gut.

They do lovely sandwiches with almond cheese which was very nice. They also do vegan cakes.. the chocolate cake is really nice but very rich in flavour. You can play with the cats too and they are all so sweet, Maine [censored] breed and one a local Thai cat which is my favourite (named Piotr?).
