Belle expérience

Le brunch était délicieux et les prix largement abordables ! Pour 20€ nous avons eu un bol de yaourt avec du müesli, un toast d'humus, une salade, une part de quiche, une part de tarte, une boisson chaude et un jus de fruits !
L'endroit et propre, le service est rapide et les chats sont adorables. Je recommande !

Pros: Prix abordables, Restaurant propre, Brunch délicieux

You cannot go wrong

Honestly, if you like cats, visiting will be a wonderful experience. The green tea I chose was really delicious. There were lots of cakes and cookies available too. And everything is vegan! The place itself is modestly decorated, but that doesn’t matter to me, if I have cats around. Staff was very attentive and made sure everyone sanitized their hands at entrance to the cafe. All in all a chill and lovely encounter.

For any cat lover!

The salad I had was delicious: super filling, fresh, and flavorful. I also had a latte that was honestly a bit bland, but the staff was friendly and the cats delightful.

Vegan food + cats = happiness

Not only is it a nice cosy place where you can taste vegan food and beverage for lunch or afternoon snack. But you can also enjoy the company of the cats there, just wandering in the cafe or resting in the next room.
It's a nice concept, and the cakes are very good.

Pros: Cats, Good cakes, Cosy

Cons: Quite small

Muy light. Pero delicioso.

Encantada con bastantes gatos, sitio solo para amantes de gatos, comida deliciosa pero a favor si estás a dieta. El pastel de durazno buen sabor pero incómodo comerlo.

Pros: ..

Cons: Pastel cuesta comerlo.

Pour ceux qui aiment les chats

Un endroit où le chat est roi, et où accessoirement, on peut manger. 1 plat du jour, et des desserts nombreux. Un endroit sans prétention, et peu de déco.
Les clients sont néanmoins de tous horizons. Concept : on peut adopter les chats présents en lien avec une association.
Un peu cher pour ce qu’on trouve dans l’assiette néanmoins.

Pros: Profondément vegan, Raw food ?, Possibilité de caresser des chats tout mignons

Cons: Allergiques aux chats s’asbtenir, Manque de déco, Plat un peu cher

Perfect when you like cats

Really liked it. The food was excellent and all the cats jumping around the tables made it an extra memorable experience.

Bon chocolat chaud et banana bread

Cadre sympa (faut aimer les chats, juste), le chocolat chaud au lait de noisette était très bon et les gâteaux aussi. Prix très raisonnables.

Great but sadly busy

We were tourists in Lyon. We came here to have a coffee, sadly we couldn’t have one because we didn’t have a reservation. (It was Sunday) We took some cake to go and it was delicious! The cats are super cute and we loved the design all recycled furniture. The service was lovely and the food looked amazing. Shame we couldn’t try it.

Pros: Delicious Cake , Lovely Service , Super cute cats

Cons: Too busy didn’t get a seat

Would never stop going!

This is a great place for vegans! All the food and drinks are homemade. Quite awesome to have this, this close to universities which make it easy to find and go.
I keep going back, whether for a drink and a cookie or a brunch. I've taken all of my friends there and they all liked it a lot!
Brunches are filling, and the food tastes delicious!
I would totally recommend the brownies, and the hot chocolate!
+ cats are adorable, you can cuddle them as you like

Pros: Close to uni, Nice vibe, Excellent vegan food

Cons: Doesn't look that great from the outside

Cosy, and delicious

Me and my friend booked for a brunch. A fresh juice, a granola, a calzone, a salad, a cake and a hot drink were included. Each plate was tiny but the whole meal let us quite full. And everything was delicious.

Pros: Delicious, Respectfull for the cats, Friendly staff

Cons: None

Do not go if you are in a rush or just passing by Lyon

We were traveling by car and spent a precious time to get to this restaurant. When we arrived there, around 14:30, they did not receive us as we had not book in advance, even if it was quite empty. They do not do take away. I can not understand this kind of customer service style.

Hi,
We are just seeing this now.
We are sorry if we could not receive you. If the place was quite empty at the time, then we were waiting for reservations.
Everyone is welcomed here, even those just passing by Lyon. But our place is small and it's always better to make a reservation (on Facebook) before coming to see us.
We do not do take away right now but we are thinking about it. We just don't like the idea of creating more waste that might end up not in the trash bin...
We hope you can come and visit us again some time and see that our customer service is not as weird as you seem to be thinking.

delicious!

One item on the menu but it was delicious. Buddha bowl with a really yummy tahini sauce and a slice of toast with homemade hummus. All with a choice of your drink (I had a soy matcha latte) for 10 euros! Would definitely go back.

A nice place to support

I had a nice coffee with a choice of various vegan milks, I haven't tried the lunch meal.

The place is managed by a couple of young nice people and they work together with a local shelter so cats are available for adoption, you can learn about each one of them on their personal IDs.

The decoration is made of recycled objects, very ethical oriented place to support.

Pros: ethical, all vegan coffee shop, help cats to be adopted

Cons: location
