Mewkies Cat Cafe is a cozy retreat that opened its doors in late May 2013 as a beloved local spot for cat enthusiasts in Sapporo’s east district. This intimate cafe offers a home-like atmosphere where visitors can unwind with around twelve friendly, free-roaming cats, enjoying their company for a modest fee—480 yen for 30 minutes or an optional hot latte for an additional 300 yen. Run by a devoted owner who clearly adores his feline companions, Mewkies enforces simple rules like hand washing and no shoe entry to maintain a clean, welcoming space, perfect for a quick escape near the Sapporo Beer Garden or a short walk from Higashi-Kuyakusho-Mae Station. While not focused on adoptions, the cafe provides a warm, immaculate environment where cats and guests alike can relax, with the owner often encouraging interaction between the cats and visitors, especially children. Reservations aren’t explicitly required, but checking ahead is wise given its small size and local charm.
