Sirena
Dongcheng Qu, Beijing
Sirena Bar, located on Wudaoying Hutong in Beijing’s Dongcheng District, China, offers a cozy Mediterranean-themed retreat featuring a blue and white interior, cozy pillow-filled tables, and an upstairs restaurant with a scenic balcony. Known for its spontaneous feline residents—at least three street cats, including a white and ginger kitty and a skittish ginger companion—it functions as a "bar with cats" rather than a traditional cat café, providing a relaxed ambiance where guests can enjoy cocktails like Jack Daniels and vodka tonics (100 yuan/$14.50 for two). While confusion may arise due to nearby establishments like the cat-free Sirena Meow Inn and the defunct Sirena Cat Cafe, this Sirena Bar stands out as a charming spot for cat lovers and casual drinkers exploring Beijing’s historic hutong.
Chen Xiao Mao Cafe & Bar
Shanghai
Chen Xiao Mao, earlier known as Xu Xiao Mao de Dian, is a small cat-themed cafe and bar inside the Changle Cun residential lanes off South Shaanxi Road in Huangpu, a short walk from South Shaanxi Road station. It has run for close to ten years under a Taiwanese owner. A few resident cats, former strays, wander the room and climb onto empty chairs; they are shy, and staff hand out treats so guests can win them over. It works as a coffee shop by day and a cocktail bar at night, with homemade cakes and cookies. The entrance is hard to find inside the lane, so calling ahead helps.
Momi Forest Postcard & Cat Cafe
Xian, Shaanxi
Momi Forest is a small cafe and bar beneath the city wall on Shuncheng South Lane, just west of the South Gate inside the old city, next to the back door of the Xiangzimen Youth Hostel. Open since around 2011, it is one of Xi'an's oldest cat cafes, and its owner has taken in many rescued street cats over the years. A few cats live in the two-level room. Visitors order a drink and can write postcards to take, mail or leave behind, and guest notebooks go back to the cafe's early years. Children were not admitted in the past.
L'infusion
Beijing
L’Infusion Café is a charming and cozy establishment located in Beijing’s Wudaoying Hutong, nestled between the Lama Temple (Lines 2/5) and Andingmen (Line 2) metro stops, offering a delightful blend of café ambiance and feline companionship. Formerly known as ‘Muming,’ this inviting spot features a warm, pitch-perfect atmosphere with comfy couches, lite rock music, and an extensive menu showcasing specialty coffee drinks, craft beers, wines, savory foods, and sweet treats, making it an appealing destination even without its feline residents. Home to just two adorable cats—one often napping while the other, a playful black cat, engages visitors—this café prioritizes its café experience but still delights cat lovers with its charming kitties. With easy access in a vibrant hutong lane filled with galleries, shops, and restaurants, L’Infusion provides a relaxed retreat where guests can enjoy a café latte (or a beer at 5:30 p.m.) and soak in the cultural charm of Beijing’s historic neighborhood, perfect for an evening of comfort and exploration.
