First of all the staff here are extremely friendly and helpful, they attend to you right away.
I had a good time there and would've rated it five stars but the cats aren't too friendly or interactive, they avoided all of my attempts to play with them and majority of them were asleep. Having had cats of my own, i understand that cats are living creatures and take naps all the time, but these cats were barely active. So don't expect to have a very fun experience, a bit boring.
But in all i had a great time, and the food was great.
Lovely cafe, staff were welcoming, and the cats were so sweet. The food was good and reasonably priced, and the atmosphere was lovely in the quiet moments. Will definitely be coming back again
I had such a good time here ! All of the staff are so welcoming, they always make sure the cats are being well cared for. Definitely worth a visit!😁
I teach the Monthly Cat Yoga classes, the staff are very welcoming and ensure the room is set up and the students are welcomed and taken care of after for hot drinks and food. The Cat Yoga classes are available to book via their website.
an amazing place. it had such a great atmosphere and the cats were so lovely. the food was delicious and comes in great portions! a little bit on the pricey side but the café puts the money back into the cats, so it's totally understandable & it's not too bad anyway. will likely be coming again!
We went here for my partner's birthday. Difficult to find a different experience these days without going sky driving. This is different great and fun. No need to jump out of an airplane.
Cats lovely, people lovely nice food.
The staff were supeeer friendly, we had a really great time thanks to their help. Definitely recommend visiting this place! 🤗
Such a great concept a little cat rescue sanctuary/cafe. And the cat-puccinos are divine!
Pause is such a great little wholesome spot. Because there are lots of cats it’s more likely you’ll be lucky enough to catch one in a more active state (and not snoozing away the afternoon like most!) but obviously you shouldn’t come in expecting to be steamrolled by them!
I absolutely love that they mostly stick to plant-based ingredients in their food (the soy vanilla ice cream is SO good) and that they make an effort to hire people with disabilities - we should therefore be extra patient to the volunteers as not all disabilities are visible, and they are helping out unpaid to keep the cafè going for our enjoyment!
Also as a bonus, the coffee is great!
Had a great time with my wife & daughter 16/7/23. Paid for my daughter to get a full tour and she got to meet all the cat and found it hard to pick her favourite cat. But she loved it when 1 of the cats (bear I think) came to sit with her as she ate her lunch. So thanks to the super friendly staff for making her feel like one of the team. Will most definitely be returning for some more of the lovely cake to 😂 😋
Love it. Lovely cats cats, lovely staff and good food! Food served inside boxes to keep nosey cats off 😉😁😻
We will be back again. Thankyou.
PS don't forget to book a table, then you can choose where to sit.
Lovely little cat cafe over 2 floors in the centre of Bournemouth.
We had 2 drinks and 2 snacks for £11 and an hour with the cats.
11 is probably not recommended as the cats have recently been fed so many are having their brunch nap. It was still nice to see them and have some pets
An amazing place, very friendly. But ! The only thing we don’t really liked , that all 🐈⬛ 🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈been very sleepy . They must feed them with some kind of sleeping pills because it’s not possible that all cat been sleeping all at the same time and no possible to wake them up . Even after they wake up the can’t open even their eyes, like drunk . I do understand that this done because of calm them down but it’s not nice . You can’t play with them or even watch how they playing . So we just came downstairs to have a coffe and watched sleeping cats 💁🏻♀️
My son was so excited but there wasn’t possible ti spend nice time with cats as they was sleeping even after some of them did wake up - they was just like drunk . The atmosphere is great . Enjoyed coffee and tea. But …. Will not go there again.
I was given a voucher for Pause which was for a meal,drink and pud as a present.They send you a welcome video which tells you about the cafe and what to expect when you get there.There's also a video showing you the tables, which are numbered,so you can choose where you would like to sit.We had booked a table but were stuck in traffic so phoned to see if we could have a later booking. Luckily we were able to. There were only a few parking spaces outside and we were able to get one.They do recommend a car park which isn't too far away on the video. The food is served in boxes so you can put the lid on quickly if needs be!!! The food was quite basic and the menu wasn't extensive but the idea is to see the cats, which we enjoyed very much. We did have to put our lids on a few times too!!!It's a very well thought out environment for the cats.
Went there with my date on saturday, it was super busy and a bit overwhelming for guests and specially for the cats i imagine.
Id recommend a visit during the week as theres less people, so you'd have more interaction with the cattos.
Had the apple cake, bit dry but good, have the cat-pu-chino hehe, it was amazing
(Sorry for not putting the cup correctly before taking the pic T^T)
Had a lovely time there, the staff is very nice and so dedicated (to their customers as much as their cats!). I had a 3 berries smoothie which was very onctuous and flavoursome. Plus, Michelle found our table was the best for a perfect nap.
I recently lost my cat to cancer, we came here to donate and share some cat Love and couldn't of been happier to be around all the cats, and the wonderful staff!
Areas that need improvements,
It is busier than other cat cafes!
Parking is awful!
Not enough cake!
Coffee tastes cheap!
Lovely place for a drink and some company! The cats are lovely, friendly, and careful with Michelle (white), she'll try to get into your food! Good menu as well and lovely stuff.
Absolutely love this place. They have the most gorgeous kitties. The staff are brilliant and friendly. Please come support them if you can, you won't regret it. Have a lovely drink and snack and play with the cats of Pause they all have their own individual personalities. Xxx love it....
