Opening May 2026 — follow their social channels for the confirmed launch date.
Kumiko Cat Lounge is set to become Northern Ireland's first cat café when it opens in Ballyhackamore, East Belfast, in May 2026. Located on Upper Newtownards Road, the lounge is being designed as a calm, welfare-first space where visitors can spend time with resident cats over coffee and cake. The team's stated focus is summed up by their tagline, 'welfare for cats, wellbeing for you,' aligning Kumiko with a wider trend of UK cat cafés built around adoption, rescue partnerships, and quieter session formats rather than novelty. Specific details on hours, prices, booking policy, and the resident cats are expected to be announced via the café's social channels around launch. Outside cats are not permitted, in line with standard cat café practice across the UK.
