Schönes Cafe

Das Essen, insbesondere die Süßspeisen, ist sehr lecker und auch recht günstig! Der Besitzer scheint ein bisschen anstregend zu sein, vllt. hatte er aber auch einfach nur viel zu tun. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich. Die Katzen sind verrückt :)

Pros: günstig, lecker, preiswert

Very good food but not so very pleasant to be there

It's a very nice place for cats, it's clean, beautiful, lot things for the cats, but the human experience wasn't very good for me and didn't seemed to be for the other tables neither. Good for a drink to visit the cat's temple.

Was here yesterday

Wanted to try this place and finally had the chance. Loved the green salad with amazing herb dressing and a couple slices of bread. Server was very polite and friendly. Owner was not so pleasant.

Pros: Nudged my non-vegan friends with promise of cats

Not much without onion

I can't eat onion, and from an extensive menu I was told apart from the desserts that only chips and salad can be done without :(

Place seems nice otherwise?

Cute cats and so so delicious cake

I just had a 1h stop in Nuremberg but really wanted to eat a vegan cake so I went to this place as I’ve never been to a cat cafe. ITS NOT ANIMAL ABUSE. These cats can walk around there and came from the pound (Tierheim). They’re really enjoying the attention! Also the coconut-mango cheese cake I had was A DREAM! 😍

Pros: Cats from the pound

Cons: Looks like it’s closed from the outside

It’s not vegan

Animal use is animal abuse.
I guess we are all forgetting here that using animals for entertainment is not vegan thing to do.
So this restaurant might have vegan food, but cats there are not free.
I was there today after closing, cats sitting behind closed doors.

Pros: Vegan food

Cons: Not vegan business

Hey, just wanted to let you know that the cats are not used for entertainment in this café. They are all strays, from sanctuaries, etc. It's a much better place for them to be than at a crowded animal shelter.

A purrfect experience

We had a great time at Cafe Katzentemple! There are six cats roaming about the cafe, which immediately brightened my mood, especially when they suddenly appear under your chair. The food was also great and I was absolutely stuffed by the end. They have a dessert fridge that is not on the menu and most items are vegan with the exception of optional cows milk with drinks.

OK but expensive

Its a concept cafe with 6 cats they are living there. So it would be better to be in cats😄For this reason there are special rools too, like not running fast or open the door. Thats important for the sweet kittys. I found the athmosphere not cosy at all, but thats a question of what you Like. BUT: the big salad I ordered was only green leaves and a bit carrots and paprika and as topping tofu. Boring taste and nothing special like different salads or herbes or... And that all for 10 Euro. Really expensive for nothing. I ate afterwoulds a protein bar I bought before. For me never again.

Delightful and tasty

Wow what a wonderful meal we had. We each ordered a different burger and then split it so we could try them. The fries are done in an air fryer and are very tasty. We finished off with a chocolate torte and chai latte—both also very good. The cats are delightful and the staff charming. The space is comfortable and quiet. Would highly recommend.

Nice cafe with a good concept

You can eat there while cats are playing around. Thats pretty interesting. Its nice that the cats are saved. The staff is really nice and they help you if you have any questions.
The food has a good quality but is, typical for cities in the south of germany, a bit pricey. For example a piece of cake can cost up to 4,5 € while the portion size isnt huge. But i wasn’t disappointed by the taste so far. If you get cake for takeaway they put it into a recyclable box, which is really nice.
The atmosphere is good aswell and its easy to reach from the mainstation by foot.

Pros: All cakes vegan, Saved cats, Nice people, takeaway boxes made of cardboard

Cons: Pricey

Awesome Experience

This place is not to be missed! It is a few streets off the main square but worth the meander. I had the best cake I’ve had since being in Germany. I plan to return for scrambled tofu when I haven’t already had lunch. Non-German speakers might be a bit overwhelmed by the signs when you walk into the hallway. Just stop and wait for someone to let you in—a security measure to ensure cats don’t get out. I promise that it is worth it. This place is very cool!

Expensive prices for mediocre dishes

We went to Café Katzentempel to test their vegan dishes, but we were quite disappointed. The salad was absolutely boring, like the ones you normally get at those non-vegan restaurants. The bread was white and tasted like nothing. The seitan sandwich had a patty which was okay, but the rest of it wasn’t of high quality. When eating out, I want to have something nice, which I don’t get at home. But this was nothing special at all - and on top of it, it was pricey, too. Wouldn’t come back and don’t recommend. There are much better places in Nuremberg to eat out!

Pros: Clean rooms, Nice waiter

Cons: Expensive , No great dishes

super nice place

Bei meinem nächsten Aufenthalt in Nürnberg werde ich auf jeden Fall wiederkommen. Die Menüauswahl ist gut für den kleinen bis mittelgroßen Hunger und es gibt eine Kuchenvitrine. Abgesehen von der Option Kuhmilch zu nehmen, ist das komplette Menü vegan (die anderen Alternativen sind Soja- und Hafermilch). Die Bedienung war freundlich und aufmerksam, ohne aufdringlich zu sein und hat gleichzeitig darauf geachtet, dass es den Katzen gut geht.

Pros: nice selection of foods, good atmosphere, cats

Flavourful Food and lovely atmosphere

I had the Thai Carrot Soup with Bruschetta and it was so tasty I went back the next day for lunch. The bread is AMAZING. My husband had the Bavarian Breakfast both days because he loved it so much. It's served with non-alcoholic beer which I liked a lot. They have lots of vegan cakes that change daily. The only non-vegan thing they have on the menu is regular milk for their drinks, but they do have non-dairy milks for their drinks. And they of course have 5 friendly cats that roam around the cafe.

Pros: Wonderful atmosphere , Tasty Food and Drinks , Lots of vegan cakes

Wonderful place!

For me, a combination of cats and vegan food can not be beaten by anything.
The cats are veey social unlike in many other similar cafes, and some want to cuddle a lot with visitors.
The food has a homey feel to it, everything is vegan except for cows milk that is ordered separately, so no danger od ordering anything wrong by mistake. Have eaten there 4 times during my visit, so had a chance to sample different dishes. The portions are big, hearty and tasty. They use small ammounts od oil, so I have an impression that the meals are pretty healthy. They had no problems exchanging or omitting ingredients in dishes. Gluten free alteenatives are clearly marked.
All in all, my favourite in Nuremberg!
Support the cats and veganism, pay them a visit if you can.

Pros: Cats, big portions, many tables

I love this place!

I’ve been here for the third time now during some short visits in Nuremburg. It is a very special cafe because it is homing rescued cats. You can eat yummy vegan food here and play with or just watch the lovely cats at the same time.
I love cats very much and because I'm engaged with cats professionally I was a little bit worried how stressed or unhappy they might be. But I was positively surprised. All the cats seem very calm, chilled and like their home obviously. If you know cats and are able to read them a little you can tell if they're ok or not. I didn’t see one displeased cat.
The staff is taking good care of them and is making sure you don’t treat them wrong.

The food is very delicious and lovingly prepared. I can 100 % recommend this place!

Pros: The cats are fine and very cute, Delicious Food, Nice interior decoration

Cons: Not 100% vegan (Cow milk for drinks)

Great cats and cakes

We have been here a few times now and loved it every time. There is a really good selection of vegan cakes (always changing and freshly baked), breakfast and lunch dishes. Beside that there are also the five gorgeousness extrem.y cute temple cats which make a stay even more worthwhile!

Can’t think of decent cat pun

I heard about this place from the Katzentempel in Munich and was surprised I hadn’t seen it in the vegan listings. I didn’t find this one as friendly as the other. I ordered a bean and chia seed burger with salad, which together (€14,90) were fairly substantial along with my large fruit smoothie and large green smoothie (€6,90 each, the second of which I ordered because the burger started to get a little dry). The cats were not socialising much with humans that day, as is their prerogative. Not a cheap place, but the money feeds the cats.

Love the cats! (and food)

The staff is very kind and the menu includes breakfast, lunch, snacks and dessert items. We ate there two days in a row and enjoyed a breakfast plate, summer bowl, pretzel, chia burgers, fries, iced coffee with whipped cream, and cake. The cats are also adorable and are clearly loved.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Helpful staff , Cute cats

Excellent food, happy cats, centrally located

Excellent food, freshly prepared. Cake, salad, sandwich quality cannot be improved any more since maximum quality is achieved. Quite large space (more then 25 seats inside). Cats are super chilled and can leave the room if they are displeased (which they are not). Very clean. Good lemonades. Just a few minutes walk from central train station. Very friendly staff.

Pros: Friendly humans and animals, excellent, fresh food, good lemonades

Amazing number of vegan offerings in a unique setting

An extensive and robust vegan. We had the Temple Sandwich with thinly sliced seitan, and authentic-tasting sausage links and tofu scramble. All delicious. The restaurant is cat themed and boasts six cats in the dining area. It is spotless. The whole place is filled with cat-climbing paraphernalia. We do not own cats, but were delighted by the feline experience.

Pros: Delicious and extensive vegan menu, Excellent service , Spacious seating

tasty and super cute

A lovely cafe hidden in a back street, they take a lot of time to explain the rules about the cats (which I think is really great). Everything is vegan other than the fact that they also offer cows milk which I thought was a tad odd but they food is so good! I got a green smoothie (was ready so quickly and so tasty) and the small curry (was super yummy- don't recommend for those who don't like spice though lol). Staff is also very lovely and its obvious that they love the cats! I would 100% recommend this place! (Cash only though)

Pros: cats, vegan food, CATS

Cons: cash only

Definitiv ein Besuch wert!

Im Katzentempel haben mehrere Katzen, die aus Tierheimen stammen, ein schönes Zuhause gefunden. Leckere vegane Kuchen und Getränke. Auf jeden Fall ein Besuch wert!
