Pause Cat Cafe offers a cozy and relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff and adorable cats. While some patrons found the service a bit lacking and the food and drinks subpar, others appreciated the vegan options and the overall concept of the cafe. The presence of volunteer employees and the condition of the rooms and toilets were noted as areas in need of improvement. Despite mixed reviews, many customers enjoyed the peaceful environment and the opportunity to spend time with well-cared-for rescue cats. Overall, Pause Cat Cafe offers a unique experience for feline lovers looking for a quiet retreat.

Beautiful small cat café over 2 days in the center of bournemouth. we had 2 drinks and 2 snacks for £11 and an hour with the cats. 11 is probably not recommended as the cats have been fed recently, so many have their brunch nap. it was still nice to see her and have some pets

While the food may not amaze you, the menu options are quite extensive and the prices are reasonable. It's charming that the restaurant is staffed by volunteers and provides employment opportunities for people with disabilities. The real highlight, however, are the cats who are clever at trying to steal your food. Thankfully, the food comes in large boxes so you can easily cover it back up. I would definitely revisit this place.

This restaurant is not your average cafe, as it is mainly operated by volunteers, which is evident in the simple fare they offer. The vegan mac and cheese I ordered seemed to be microwaved, and my partner's sandwich was very basic (just bread, avocado, and lettuce). Despite the food, the restaurant itself is great; their website provides all the necessary information about the restaurant and allows you to reserve specific tables. It is clear that a lot of thought went into this cafe, so I highly recommend paying a visit, especially since it supports a good cause. However, be cautious if you have allergies to cats or mites.

Cute cats and plenty of toys! If you 're there to see the cats, you 'll have a good time! They 're adorable and some are raring for a gentle scratch. The young ones tend to be racing along of the floor and some might play too. The food was nice, and come in little boxes to keep safe from the cats but none seemed too interested in them. Unfortunately the 'frozen strawberry ' drink was completely room temperature which was disappointing on a hot summer day. Price per person: £10–20 Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
