餘溫貓咪咖啡食堂
餘溫貓咪咖啡食堂 is a long-running cat cafe and diner on the second floor of a building on Guangming Road in Beitou District, Taipei, near Xinbeitou. It describes itself as a quiet refuge combining coffee, food, desserts, cats and music, and it has been building its story for more than a decade. A large group of resident cats roams freely and is very sociable, and staff give newcomers a careful introduction. Unlike many cat cafes, the food is a real draw: home-style fried rice dishes with sesame-oil chicken, basil crab or pan-fried fish, rice plates and the house angel coffee. Weekday visits have no time limit and no service charge. Guests must be at least eight years old. Cooking smells can be noticeable indoors, so bear that in mind if you are sensitive to them.

喵喵有約 is a spacious cat cafe and light-meal restaurant on a quiet lane off Daxing Street in Beitou District, Taipei. More than ten resident cats live here, including two very large Maine Coons, and they are relaxed and affectionate, happy to sit by the table and play with guests. The room is roomy and kept free of smells, with air purifiers running in every area. The kitchen offers set meals, waffles and other desserts, milk tea and coffee. The cafe is popular with families, and children who like cats are welcome. Long-haired cats shed, so allergy sufferers should come prepared.

貓系戀愛研究所
Taipei City3.2 mi / 5.2 km
貓系戀愛研究所 is a reservation-only cat and dog cafe on Shezhong Street in the Shezi area of Shilin District, Taipei. The cafe is split into separate rooms, so you can move between a cat room with a large group of affectionate resident cats and a dog room with four friendly dogs, including two big Alaskan Malamutes and a French Bulldog, plus a few pet geckos. The dining area is kept apart from the animals, so there is no fur in the food, and the space is kept clean and odour-free. The menu is a short list of light meals, pizza, desserts and drinks. All visits must be booked in advance through the cafe's LINE account. It suits visitors who love both cats and dogs and want plenty of hands-on time with each.
