There is no food menu, but drinks are included with the visit.

The owner, a tea lover, offers more than 40 kinds of tea alongside coffee and desserts, and the house speciality is a fluffy soufflé pancake, with caramel pearl the favourite. The cafe doubles as a halfway home for rescued street cats: a separate, sectioned-off area is set aside for the cats, a double door keeps them safe, and visitors clean their hands before petting. Many of the cats are friendly and come over to greet new guests, while a few are shy and prefer not to be rushed. Cats here are looking for permanent homes, and adoption enquiries are welcome. The space is clean, calm and free of animal odours.
