NEKO Cat Cafe Bellingham - Cafe in Bellingham - 1130 Cornwall Ave, USA

Warm, friendly atmosphere with lots of kitties to interact with. Lots of cat toys for the felines that are feeling playful, and cat beds for the ones relaxing, perfect for petting. It is my daughter's favorite place to visit. She knows all the cats by name, and we've only been twice. We will definitely be visiting again, it's only a matter of when.

The atmosphere was so relaxing and joyful. All of the cats were friendly towards all of the people, young and old. The kitties were also respectful of the other kitties in the room. They were okay to be petted even when they were sleeping. They had a great selection of unique beverages, cookies, and adorable merchandise. Neko Cat Café is on the top of my list to visit every time I come up to Bellingham!!!

We had a great time meeting all the adorable 🐈 🐈‍⬛ cuties here! They limit the visit to one hour and allow only a certain number of people per session. So it’s better to make a reservation before you go, which you can easily do on their website. If you don’t get a chance to make a reservation, make sure to show up at the top of the hour, that’s when each session begins. All the cats were friendly, most were sleeping while we were there, but that’s what cats do; they sleep during the day! You can still pet them tho. We fell in love with the newest cat Earl Grey. We learned from the staff that he’s not very good interacting with other cats, but he was super playful and affectionate towards humans, make sure you say hi to him while you’re there, you’d love him!😻😻😻

Had a lovely time with the cats, staff was very kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Definitely returning! Did not try the food, was too distracted by kitties!

LOVE the concept, and we’ll go again for sure, HOWEVER… We arrived 10 min late, and there’s a weird… everyone has to get out at 45 min after the hour ‘rule’? Doesn’t matter when you get there or when you buy your drinks etc. There was us and another small group. They need to be more flexible, when they aren’t busy to let you have your full time. We weren’t even able to finish the drink and food we BOUGHT. Nope. Had to leave. Can I at least wait for my minor kids to finish in the bathroom??? Geesh… You pay per person to get in, buy the snacks, drinks, or merch (which is all adorable) but it’s not cheap, then they seem overly eager to get you out. Staff are SUPER nice, and getting these adorable kitties their furever homes is priority #1 of course, but there HAS to be a better way to treat your supporters. Outline the rules up front, so no one is surprised for starters. Post it on the door. But people should be allowed to finish what they buy… it’s just snacks and drinks, nothing that takes long to consume.

45 min sessions for $15 each that start at the top of the hour (this is important because you will have to wait if you get there at an odd time). I really like that they have adoptable cats. The kitties were all pretty sleepy while we were there (2pm-2:45pm), but I did find one cat that I was able to play with for a while. Another cat was so happy to lay on my friend’s lap and fell asleep. It was so cute! We didn’t order any snacks or drinks, but I got a picture of the menu. I rate 4 out of 5 stars because personally, this isn’t somewhere I’d come regularly and it was hard to find a cat that actually wanted to interact with me (I ended up wandering around the room for the first half of my visit); however, I ended up having a very positive experience overall!

An absolutely wonderful experience! They do a great job at creating an environment for the cats to thrive. As a result, the cats are very interactive, lots of cuddles and play time. We loved it!

Delightful! Very clean, cute space. Menu expanded since my last visit, which was nice. Tastiest kombucha I have ever had. And of course, the *softest* and *sweetest* bunch of kitties! Definitely going to let people know about the happy kitty hour on Friday.
