Cat Cafes in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Do

Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Do

Samcheung Goyangi Cafe is a cat cafe in Hapjeong-dong, Pyeongtaek, across the road from Pyeongtaek Fire Station and behind the Kim Eye Clinic building. The space is split into an ordinary cafe area and a separate cat room, so visitors who are new to cats or a little nervous around them can get used to them gradually while learning about their habits. Entry is charged per person, and drinks such as coffee, tea, iced tea, lattes and smoothies are sold at low prices on top. The cafe also helps rehome abandoned cats through responsible adoption. It is a common choice for families, couples and friends looking for an indoor outing in Pyeongtaek, and it is open until 8 PM.

Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Do

Sikppang Gumnyang is a ground-floor cat cafe in Bijeon-dong, Pyeongtaek, that has appeared on the SBS programme TV Animal Farm. The owners describe it as a place for mutual connection with the cats rather than a hands-on animal experience: adult cats can be stroked but should not be picked up or held against their will, and kittens under a year old may only be watched, to protect their immune systems. Visits last 90 minutes on weekdays, weekends and holidays, and the single entry price includes a drink and is the same for adults and young children. Children under 24 months are not admitted. Books are available for visitors who want to read while the cats nap. The cafe opens at 12:30 PM and closes at 9 PM.
