The staff were so nice and informed me about everything! I even got an ice coffee with caramel and sandwiches which were lovely. I even got company. The kittens were so cute and playful, love that you could adopt them. I got some «merch» as well which I love. Really recommend this for solo travelers, families and couples. Great way to start the day in London! · via Google [Ashby Barrett](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/107612593771266616387/reviews) ★★★★★ Took all of my strength and will not to leave with one or more of the beautiful kittens in the kitten lounge. They were sooo adorable. And very playful too. Really recommend going to see the kittens. Definitely booking again and might try to the White City branch. Only negative is the price. £25.99 for 55 mins. Then it jumps another £10 for 1 hour and 25 mins. It is very very expensive. But they do say the entrance fee goes directly to the cats and their welfare and vet bills which is good, and the kittens look very healthy and happy to be there. Overall though I throughly enjoyed myself and didn’t want to leave! · via Google [Niamh Gara](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/118326361418056328652/reviews) ★★★★★ Had such a wonderful experience in the Kitten Room. The space was so well curated for the kittens and they are so wonderfully socialised already. They were completely unfazed by our arrival and were snoozing in various spots and perked up as it got closer to their dinner. Our host (Ash, I believe?) was just delightful and answered so many questions about the kittens. It's so obvious they are very well cared for while they are at Java Whiskers! I was absolutely head over heels for little ginger Wayne. So excited to visit in future and meet the older cats upstairs also! · via Google [Rei Y](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/107075174301332512717/reviews) ★★★★★ So many chances to capture adorable moments! The cats are not completely used to being around humans yet, but we still had some opportunities to get close to them 💘 Of course, they are incredibly cute 🫠💖 Time passed so quickly and it was such a relaxing experience. ★I’ve been to many cat cafés, but this visit felt especially lucky. There were only a few customers at the time (I also came alone), and it happened to be the cats’ mealtime. I got to see many of their different behaviors and take lots of photos. I love cat cafés for many reasons. Rather than going there just to interact with the cats, I enjoy quietly watching them and supporting what the café is trying to do.
