Gemütlich Essen in einer schönen Atmosphäre - Edit
Wir waren das erste Mal dort und werden dem Katzentempel auf jeden Fall wieder einen Besuch abstatten.
Read moreDas Essen war sehr lecker und total sättigend. Das Thuna-Sandwich und das Bananenbrot kann ich jedem sehr ans Herz legen. Die Katzen haben geschlafen und was positiv hervorzuheben ist, dass das Personal darauf achtet, dass die Stubentiger auch ihren Freiraum und ihre Ruhe bekommen, die sie benötigen. Es ist somit nicht erlaubt, schlafende und ruhende Katzen und Kater zu stören und genauso gehört sich das auch.
Der Service war mega, unsere Bedienung war super lieb und hat alles ganz ruhig erklärt.
Die Karte ist umfangreich und es wird für jede Tageszeit etwas dargeboten.

Tolles, echt teures Essen, durchdachtes Konzept - Edit
Das Essen ist ziemlich teuer (z. B. 14,90 Euro für eine Bowl), aber wirklich gut und lecker. Der Service ist sehr neu und das Personal achtet zum Glück recht genau darauf, dass die Gäste sich entsprechend der Regeln verhalten, damit die Katzen nicht gestresst werden. Die Einrichtung könnte gemütlicher sein.

Superfun times - Edit
Animal lovers heaven! We had an amazing time. Cats, great service and atmosphere and all the food is vegan, what else can you ask for? At 5:30 the resident felines were still a bit sleepy and stayed on their perches higher up but closer to when we left a few of them came down and checked us out, our friend Lea had been here before and the cats had loved here elastic hair band so she came prepared with a gift and it sure was a hit. The food is very good and reasonable! I could not finish the bowl and took the rest home!!! Awesome times. Highly recommend

Bei einem Städtetrip haben wir den Katzentempel zufällig entdeckt. Online einen Platz zu reservieren ging einfach und schnell.
Read moreDas die Katzen aus dem Tierschutz stammen und vor Ort Rückzugsorte haben ist super und wichtig.
Der Eiscafe mit Vanilleeis war sehr lecker. Das Dessert war auch lecker, ist jedoch kein Kuchen wie von uns erwartet.
Die MitarbeiterInnen waren freundlich. Wir haben uns wohlgefühlt😄

Mäßiges Konzept - Edit
Heute aßen wir zum Mittag im Katzentempel. Da meine Frau und ich vegan leben, wollten wir auch nun dieses Lokal einmal besuchen.
Read moreEine Reservierung online zu tätigen ging reibungslos. Angekommen wurden wir nach kurzer Zeit vorne am Eingang in Empfang genommen. Auf den ersten Blick war allerdings nicht ersichtlich, wo sich der Eingang befinden sollte. Ein weißes Schwenkelement, mit der Aufschrift,, Drücken'' sollte dann der Eingang sein. Die Aufmachung ist hell und freundlich. Das Lokal hat zwei Bereiche. Einen kleineren Berreich direkt am Eingang und einen etwas größeren weiter unten. Beide sahen sauber und ordentlich aus. Nun konnte man auch die ersten Katzen in ihren Tunnel/ Körbchen sehen. Sie machten alle einen entspannten Eindruck. Allerdings sind diese einen sehr hohen Lärmpegel der Gäste ausgesetzt. Leider musste man auch hier feststellen, das Tisch an Tisch eng gereiht war, um eine maximale Gästekapazität zu erreichen. Private Gespräche nicht möglich.
Eigentlich ein schönes Konzept, wenn man denkt man kann entspannt essen und trinken in der Umgebung von Tieren in dem Fall Katzen. Leider geht dieses Konzept nicht auf. Die Leute stehen auf laufen durch das ganze Lokal, stehen neben dein Tisch um permanent Fotos von den Katzen zu machen. Absolut unangenehm und bestimmt nicht im Sinne der Tiere. Dann hat man das Gefühl, dass viele Familie dort hingehen, da sie sich denken, gehen wir mal da hin, da ist eine Attraktion und wir können gemütlich einen Kaffee trinken. Auch hier eher die falsche Zielgruppe. Eine vegane Community ist eher nicht vorhanden. Eher viele Menschen, die nur wegen den Katzen kommen und sich dem was das Lokal anbietet anpassen. Gerade hier finde ich es Schade, dass der Vegane Aspekt verloren geht. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr bemüht auf die Regel, mit dem Umgang von den Katzen, hinzuweisen und erklären diese auch. Fazit, ganz ordentliches Essen, als überzeugter Veganer der Gleichgesinnte sucht wird man hier eher enttäuscht. Viele Schaulustige, großes Gewusel ohne Privatsphäre. Sollte das Konzept verbessert werden Fotoverbot etc. dann gerne eine zweite Chance, anders leider nicht.

I am vegan myself but clearly this is about cats and not veganism. I’m thrilled the food is vegan but did not expect this to be the focal point.
Read moreAlso we noticed the cats have their own room with a cat door, if it’s too busy for them they can leave.

This café is truly enchanting. Impeccably clean, it offers delicious vegan dishes ranging from vegan cakes to burgers. The cats are incredibly sweet and contribute to the charm of the place. Prices are a bit high, as the café supports itself and animal adoption – even cats get hungry! #Veganuary

Pretty pricey, okayish service, nice food - Edit
I like the general idea of the cafe, but think that it's really overpriced.
Read moreInitially I thought, it's reasonable for it to be higher priced than the average restaurant without live animals to be taken care of and am happy to pay a bit more for the cat cafe experience, but I don't understand, why they charge the same prices for their delivery and take away options.
The service in the restaurant was okay - it took them pretty long to take our order and to get the bill. Food was nice - I had a bowl, which was quite small considering the price.

Reservations Needed - Edit
We called 4 times to make a reservation, as it was a special occasion today and couldn’t get through, so we decided to just show up and wouldn’t mind waiting for a table. The drive was about an hour and after arriving, we and another group were turned away. The hostess said it’s reservation only. They refused to accommodate us. I wish they would have specified this on HappyCow. It was quite disappointing that they couldn’t even accommodate us for drinks or something. There are not many vegan options in town so turning people away means we have to go support non vegan places. A big let down. There were some tables free and we wouldn’t have minded occupying them until the reservation times or people arrived.

This happened to me at the "vegan" cat cafe in Rome, rather they wouldn't seat me for dining alone, but similar. I have since decided that "cats as spectacle / entertainment" while dining is thoroughly zoolike and an un-vegan concept and was happy to have not have participated by good fortune of the staff being jerky.
Read moreHuraiquire
I considered the same. I’ve seen cat cafes where the cats are cared for and adopted, and cat cafes where the cats are in glass boxes with locks on them. I didn’t get to see what kind this one was, but maybe it’s for the best. Pets in general are quite controversial among the vegan community because they’re kind of emotional slaves and the language we use as well (“owners”, the pet “ran away”, practices like keeping them in chains or leashes, etc.) is very telling. If a pet leaving is “escaping” or “running away”, do they really want to be there to begin with and why force them? Anyways, like you said, probably for the best.
Read moretheNumberOfTheBeast
Spot on. All individuals have the right to live amongst their own species without human interaction. The term I use is "comfort slaves" as that's most accurate to me. Yes, human bred animals do require shelter and food, but let's be real, less than one percent will provide vegan diets with synthetic taurine to these cats and will be paying into the animal abuse industry to feed them an unnatural and deadly diet of heavily adulterated and contaminated factory livestock victims which again tortures more enslaved animals of less preferred species. The most vegan activity is not to keep animals as pets at all and not to use them as a gimmick for providing dining entertainment. I boycott these places now entirely and find them gross, not to mention the level of toxmoplasmia gondii that's probably in the air while dining.

Ooo very well said. I struggle to find the words to express some of these feelings, but you do it well. Especially about the purchasing of factory made “pet food”. It makes me very uncomfortable how some vegans can discuss cognitive dissonance for meat eaters, but then don’t think twice about buying pet food. Anyways, this is the first Vegan Cat Cafe I’ve ever seen or even heard of, so I was looking forward to ask questions, such as if the pet food is vegan and where do the cats go when the place closes. If the food served to non customers (the cats) is not vegan, is it still a vegan cafe?
Read moretheNumberOfTheBeast
Vegans telling me they buy meat for their trapped indoor animals (even rescues) are telling me simply they misuse the term vegan. It's a simple trolly question. One cat, versus 100 livestock animals per year for food? I choose the greater good without prejudice, always. Most never even try vegan diets for their animals rescue or otherwise. It's a bizarre ignorance. Millions of cats are killed every year in shelters, lots of them would eat the vegan pet food, if I had a rescue cat that refused to eat the vegan stuff, I'd simply trade them in for another one that did. It's a cruel reality, but picking the comfort of one doomed animal simply to doom thousands more across their lifespan is a real head scratcher to this anti-speciesist.
Read moretheNumberOfTheBeast
It would be interesting to poll the people running these cat cafes wround the world about the cat food, I'd be shocked if any owners were vegan and more so if the cat food was. Synthetic taurine is added to industrial cat food anyway, the excuses never hold up. I would strongly suspect these proprietors of animals for dining entertainment are typical capitalists using a gimmick for profit while exploiting not just animals but the people who care about them. Vegans who truly care about animals, leave them alone. Who would want to live their life as a cuddle object? Calling a person a "pet" is derogatory and objectify. True human - animal friendships are consensual. I wouldn't want to be groped by some needy weirdo all day long in exchange for being de-sexed and denied my freedom. (Well, and if I were, that would be my choice!) :D

Very well put. This part of picking the comfort of one doomed animal simply to doom thousands more- oof I have to remember that one for when I encounter those vegans and this conversation. I thought the same, but constructing the feelings and ideas into words is still a challenge in some cases. Thanks for sharing this.
Read moreAbout being a human pet, well pet play in the BDSM community is well known and loved, but consent truly is the key. Many animals could happily choose to not have to search for food or shelter again and let a human take care of them, but usually they do so for a season. People who live near forests often see the same animal yearly. They can take your home as a safe space to birth children for example or come when they can’t find food elsewhere. Also in the cold winters, the take shelter under porches, but they leave when the season ends and return to their free lives til next winter. That’s not unheard of and I think if we want to build relationships with animals where we care for them, we can and they absolutely have the ability to consent. Not a pet. A friend who visits and stays sometimes.
