Neko and Kopi
Colombo, Western Province
Neko and Kopi is a cat café in Nawala, Colombo, tucked away at the end of a long lane off Nawala Road. The colourful, Ghibli-inspired space is home to a large group of resident cats, along with kittens in the café's care, and they roam freely among the tables, nap around the room and greet guests. Visitors order from a menu of Japanese-style dishes such as ramen, katsudon, gyoza and omurice, along with coffee, matcha and Sri Lankan milk tea. Guests can draw on the walls, borrow board games and books, and join sketching, painting and craft workshops or movie nights. Visitors are asked not to feed the cats, and owners are welcome to bring their own cats along. The café is open from Tuesday to Sunday and closed on Mondays.
