Cat Cafes in Hanoi

Hanoi

Meow-cha time is a small cat cafe at 6 Ngõ Giếng Mứt in Bạch Mai, Hai Bà Trưng, in the student area south of central Hanoi. It opened in September 2026 and is aimed at students, with a clean, quiet room for studying or working among a group of resident cats, among them a friendly cat called Tomato. Entry works by buying a drink from a menu of coffee, matcha and fruit drinks, and there are cakes too. The cats are described as well-behaved and a little shy at first, though staff are good at introducing them to customers. The cafe also leans into K-pop fandom: it hands out idol photocards and pictures with drinks and runs themed events for fans. It is open daily from morning until 10:30 PM.

Ban Công Nam Đồng is a tiny cat cafe on the second floor of an old apartment block at B1 Trần Hữu Tước in Nam Đồng, Đống Đa, Hanoi, with a balcony looking out over the lake. There is no sign: take staircase 3 to the second floor, turn left and walk to the building near the end. The cafe opened in spring 2026 and keeps about five chubby, smooth-coated cats that wander between the tables, although some go out to play during the day. It works like an ordinary cafe, with drinks and simple dishes at around 30,000 VND, and the owner is welcoming to children. The quiet, home-like setting suits people who want a private corner and a few cats rather than a busy, crowded cat cafe.

iPET Cafe is a cat cafe in a narrow house at 56 Thợ Nhuộm in Hoàn Kiếm, Hanoi, a few blocks south-west of Hoàn Kiếm Lake. It is one of three branches of iPET, a pet business whose other sites on Quan Hoa and Nguyễn Xiển offer grooming, a pet hotel and a pet shop. The ground floor is a regular cafe, and guests buy a ticket to go up to the cat rooms, which a September 2026 review put at 100,000 VND including a tube of cat treats. The top-floor room has floor cushions and cat toys and is home to many young cats and kittens, which the cafe says are rescues. The stairs to the top are steep and low, and staff advise against feeding the cats by hand. The cafe opened in summer 2026 and is popular with families and foreign visitors.

Cela Paw Premium is a large pet cafe and pet care centre at 01 Lương Yên in Hai Bà Trưng, Hanoi, near the Red River.

Visitors order a drink and can then spend time with the resident dogs in one area and the resident cats in a separate, larger cat room, where the cats include a Maine Coon; there is also a courtyard and a small pool where dogs can swim. Guests are welcome to bring their own pets along. Drinks include coffee, juices and fruit teas. The animal areas can close before the cafe itself does in the evening.

Tiệm Mèo Đọc Sách Cafe is a cat and book cafe at 5 Ngõ 12 Phan Văn Trường in Cầu Giấy, Hanoi, a short walk from the Nhà Xanh market in Dịch Vọng Hậu. It was opened by the team behind Meowbook, the cat and book cafe on Tây Sơn, and a sizeable group of resident cats roams its three narrow floors. Some are happy to curl up beside guests, while others keep their distance, especially when the cafe is busy. There is no entrance fee: visitors order a drink, from coffee and tea to juices, and can stay as long as they like. The second floor is lined with bookshelves, and the cafe also has board games and ceramic figurine painting. The vintage-style rooms are popular with students who come to study or work, so seating gets tight at peak times, and motorbike parking in the lane is limited.

Goodmeo Cafe & Meow is a cat cafe in a villa at BT05, lane 16B1 of the Làng Việt kiều Châu Âu estate in Mộ Lao, Hà Đông, Hanoi. Its resident cats cover several breeds, from fluffy longhairs to some notably plump and haughty characters, and each one has a name card with a short profile so visitors can tell them apart. Staff ask guests to sanitise their hands before touching the cats and provide lint rollers for clothes afterwards. Most of the cats spend their time in the play area on the second floor, while the ground floor offers quieter seating for guests who just want a drink. The menu covers coffee, tea and other drinks with a short list of snacks. Many of the cats are relaxed enough to nap on handbags and laps, though some do not like being held. The cafe opens daily from 9 AM.

Tiệm Cà Phê Mèo JennyMiaw 2 is the second branch of the JennyMiaw cat cafe, at 86 Phố Nguyễn Ngọc Nại in Phương Liệt, Hanoi, in the former Thanh Xuân district. Like the original on Đường Láng, it runs on a single ticket: 85,000 VND per person, or 75,000 VND for children under 12, covers time with the cats plus an unlimited buffet of drinks and snacks for up to three hours. The JennyMiaw cats are mostly pedigree breeds, including British Shorthairs and Longhairs, Ragdolls, Munchkins, Bengals, Maine Coons, Siamese and golden British cats. They are clean, well groomed and generally affectionate, happy to let guests rest a head on them, but they do not like being picked up and tend to doze in the afternoon. The branch is spacious and pleasantly scented, and staff step in firmly when children handle the cats roughly.

Hanoi

Oleoleo Coffee & Cats is the Nguyễn Chí Thanh branch of the Oleoleo cat cafe group, in building 5T2 off Ngõ 62 Nguyễn Chí Thanh in Láng, Đống Đa, Hanoi. The owners describe it as a place for cats, plants and figurine painting, and the air-conditioned room is filled with greenery and scented with incense. Its resident cats are famously round and well fed, among them a lazy hairless cat alongside several fluffy ones, and staff carry cats over to guests and keep a close eye on them. Visits are priced by the drink, and drinks cost slightly more than at an ordinary cafe. Books, board games and plaster statue painting keep visitors busy, and the quiet room is popular with students working on laptops. The cafe opens daily from 8:30 AM to 10:30 PM, and its sister cafes are on Trúc Bạch and in Xuân La.

Oleoleo Coffee Books & Cats Xuân La is a branch of the Oleoleo cat and book cafe group, on a quiet lane at 14/76 Ngõ 28 Xuân La in Tây Hồ, Hanoi. About ten resident cats live in the three-storey house, most of them on the second floor, and some areas are kept cat-free for guests who prefer to just sit. There is no entrance fee: visitors order a drink and can stay with the cats and the bookshelves for as long as they like. The cats are chubby, well groomed and friendly, though a few are shy. The cafe has no age limit and asks parents to show children how to handle the cats gently, visitors' own cats are not allowed in, and guests ring the doorbell on arrival so staff know they are there. It opens daily from 8:30 AM to 10:30 PM.

Meowtopia Cafe is a cat and aquarium cafe at 10 Phố Sa Đôi in Đại Mỗ, Nam Từ Liêm, Hanoi, in a row of low-rise townhouses on the main road. It opened as Meowtopia Aquaria & Cat Cafe, and its fish tanks share the room with more than 30 resident cats of many breeds that wander freely among the tables, rush over whenever food appears and like to sit in guests' slippers. Entry works on a combo of a drink plus a ticket to play with the cats, and children over two pay the same combo as adults. The cafe is roomy, with a large play area and photo corners. The business is also a pet care centre, running a cat hotel and a bathing and grooming spa for dogs and cats, and it opens daily from 9 AM to 10 PM.

Katty Coffee is a pet cafe at 61 Phố Nguyễn Bá Khoản in Yên Hòa, Cầu Giấy, Hanoi, where visitors share the room with a large group of resident cats along with a few dogs and rabbits. The cats are chubby, soft-coated and well cared for, and the cafe is known for its detailed rules: staff explain how to approach the animals when guests arrive, and the cats keep a set timetable for receiving visitors, with rest periods in between. Drinks and light snacks are served, and families with children are frequent visitors, though the room can feel cramped and warm when it is busy. Katty used to be on Phạm Huy Thông by Ngọc Khánh lake before settling at its current address. Besides the cafe, the business runs a pet hotel and a grooming spa for dogs and cats. It opens daily from 8 AM to 10 PM.

Bastet's Home is a long-running cat cafe at 34 Phố Trưng Nhị, just off Nguyễn Trãi in Hà Đông, Hanoi, with a sister branch in Đống Đa. A large group of cats of many breeds lives in the small, busy cafe, and most are gentle and affectionate, happy to fall asleep on visitors' laps. There is no entry ticket; instead each guest is asked to order at least one drink, and inexpensive cat treats are sold for feeding the cats. Prices are low by cat cafe standards, and the menu goes beyond coffee to milk teas, cocoa and cheese-foam drinks, plus snacks such as fried spring rolls, garlic dried pork and shaken chicken. The interior has several photo corners, but seating and motorbike parking are limited, so the cafe gets crowded at weekends. It opens daily from 9 AM to 10:30 PM.
