Calling all Brisbane cat lovers—we’ve rounded up all of the cat cafes in Brisbane just for you. If you’re long overdue for some kitten cuddles to relieve some stress, or you just want to have some quality time with a few furry friends without the responsibility of ownership, you are sure to get your feline fix at these cat cafés in and around Brisbane. Coffee, cats and stress relief—it’s a win, win, win, right?
Just don’t tell us we didn’t warn you if you find yourself falling in love with one of your new friends and wanting to take them home.
Lucky Cat Café
Annerley
If cats and coffee are two of your favourite things, you’re in for a treat at Lucky Cat Café. Here you can book yourself in for a special cat experience session where you’ll have the chance to spend an hour playing with adorable rescue cats (all of whom are fostered from local rescues and up for adoption if you happen to fall in love…) and then if you’re up for it, spend an hour trying your hand at a range of activities including cat toy making, earring or keyring making. Once you’re finished, stay for a catpuccino, cat white or a long black cat from the café or pick up a gift from their selection of cat-themed merchandise. You can book in your session here.
Black Cat Cafe
Wacol
Maybe you’re on the lookout to find a kitten to adopt. Or maybe apartment living doesn’t allow you to have your own kitty and you just want to spend some time with a warm ball of fur in your lap. Either way—the Black Cat Café is the purrfect place to visit. Managed by the RSPCA, here you can watch the rescue cats frolic in their playpen as you dine on a range of breakfast and lunch options including a classic big breakfast, nachos, burgers or BLTs. And, if there’s a cat with a purrsonality that matches yours that you can’t take your eyes off, you can apply to take it home—all the residents are up for adoption.
Crazy Cat Cafe
Surfers Paradise
Willing to drive for cat cuddles? Hit the highway and make for Crazy Cat Cafe, where you can hang out with the resident cats before or after a snack and a drink. This cat cafe happens to be fully licensed, so you can even have a glass of wine if you prefer. Recommendations for the Cat Lounge are recommended, but if you miss out, you can still hit up the cafe, which is separated from the cuddling zone via a glass wall, meaning you can watch the felines frolic while you sip your vino.
