Kitty Café

You'll find yourself properly smitten the moment you step into this cat-filled wonderland on Friar Lane. The resident felines have the run of the place, weaving between tables and occasionally gracing your lap if you're lucky. It's not just about the cats though – the coffee's decent and the light menu of sandwiches, cakes, and pastries does the job nicely. The whole setup works because they've got the balance right: the cats aren't forced into interactions, and you're not expected to be a crazy cat person to enjoy it. Sure, it's a bit of a novelty, but when you're watching a tabby stretch out in a sunny spot while you nurse a flat white, it feels genuinely relaxing rather than gimmicky.
