圖寞癮咖啡小酒館 ToTheMoooon
New Taipei City0.3 mi / 0.5 km
圖寞癮咖啡小酒館 ToTheMoooon is a cafe and bar on Lane 92, Yonghe Road Section 2, in Yonghe District, New Taipei City, near Dingxi MRT station. Its second floor, the Black Cat Loft (黑貓閣樓), bills itself as Taiwan's first cafe devoted entirely to black cats, while the ground floor is a cat-free area for people who prefer to keep their distance. The black cats tend to be shy and spend much of the day asleep, so patience is rewarded, and cat food can be bought to win them over. Service is largely self-service. Weekend visits should be booked ahead by phone, as same-day bookings aren't taken and walk-ins queue for free seats. The menu includes lasagna, small pizzas, pour-over coffees, the house milk tea and herbal teas, plus drinks in the evening.

Mr. Chu啾・咖啡食堂
New Taipei City0.3 mi / 0.6 km
Mr. Chu啾・咖啡食堂 is a cafe in an old house right opposite Exit 1 of Dingxi MRT station in Yonghe District, New Taipei City. Four resident cats, said to be former strays, patrol the room and sometimes pick a lap to settle on. There is no time limit and Wi-Fi is available, so the space suits reading or working, and there is also a private room, an outdoor smoking area and game consoles. Run by a team with a theater background, the cafe rents out its space for events, and fortune-telling sessions are held on certain days. The menu changes daily, with cakes and desserts, coffee and drinks such as a citrus sparkling Americano. It is a relaxed place to spend a whole afternoon.
貓境
New Taipei City0.5 mi / 0.9 km
貓境 is a cat cafe on Ren'ai Road in Yonghe District, New Taipei City, with dining rooms on the second and third floors above a ground-floor entrance. More than a dozen resident cats live here, many of them fluffy Norwegian Forest Cats, and they are lively, well groomed and very sociable, strolling across tables and settling on laps. The cafe also keeps reptiles and other pets, including geckos, turtles and a very large bullfrog, which the cats like to study. Guests are shown the house rules on arrival and agree to follow them before going up. There is a minimum spend per person, and the menu covers pizza, light meals, afternoon-tea desserts and drinks. It is popular with families, so weekends can be lively; weekdays are calmer for a quiet visit with the cats.
