Shakespaw Cat Cafe - Stratford-on-Avon

I was just walking around Stratford when I saw a sign for this cat café and I was super excited! So I basically ran here. The staff was very nice and I loved the interior. I had a very tasty crumpet in the shape of a cat! I bought some key rings and I looked at the cats who were quite cheeky (they frequently tried to steal food). All in all I really enjoyed myself and I was overjoyed to find this place!

This colorful cat café serves afternoon tea and entrées amidst a space of a few adoptable cats. Most of the seven or so cats were chilling. Only the two to three kittens were actively playing under the influence of catnip. Customers are free to roam around the café and use the couple of toys scattered around. General admission for a 90-minute visit costs £6 per person. Even if not purchasing one of the packages that include food and beverages, you are free to order from the menu during the visit. My brother ordered a pot of Darjeeling Loose Leaf Tea for £3. When booking a slot online, you also select a table. From review recommendations, we picked Table 8 by the stairs for our 3:30 PM Thursday session. That day it was the table furthest from all the cats staying by the entrance. Two other parties were present when we came. A good number of tables were packed in the narrow room that I had to squeeze by just to sit down. It was sweltering outside and inside only had fans, so the enclosed space was slightly unbearably hot. Downstairs has a basement floor that was cooler, but only two cats were there, both of which were sleeping. We only stayed for forty minutes before escaping outside where there was at least a breeze.

We visited this cafe for the first time over the weekend and we absolutely loved it. We felt welcomed as soon as we walked in and the atmosphere was cozy. The cats there were also lovely to see. We would definitely recommend this charming cafe.

I loved the friendly cats and the charmingly quirky decor at this restaurant.

We booked in for afternoon tea it was a great place , the staff are friendly , the cats are amazing, playful and really cute !
