YUMIAO cat cafe is a dog-friendly cafe in Waterloo. Just 150m away, Tote Park is a great nearby park for a walk with your dog.
My girls have been begging to go to a cat cafe. Yumiao cat cafe was the perfect place to take them. The price includes a drink which was so refreshing on that hot day. The cats were adorable. Service and atmosphere was top notch.
I was actually blown away by this place. It’s spotless inside, smells great, and has so many different types of cats with plenty of things for them to play on. You also get the chance to feed them, which was a nice touch. I took my sister because she’s a big cat fan, and even though I’m not a huge cat person myself, I was more than happy relaxing on a beanbag while the cats wandered over. The whole atmosphere is super calm and enjoyable. Definitely worth checking out.
The Mog Champ sends his regards. It's a fluffy and cute cat cafe that's well organised with friendly staff! Booking online provides you a $5 drink coupon as well which is nice. The drinks are refreshing while you play or sit down with the cats. This cat cafe has everything you'd imagine it to be, lots of different breeds and they're friendly as well! I'm sure most people would have a similar experience here too. Thanks for the time Yumiao! Mogliest Regards, Your Mog Champ
I booked online which was definitely worth it—not only did it secure my spot, but it also came with a free coffee! The cafe is big, bright, and very clean, with plenty of toys, climbing spots, and cozy areas for the cats to enjoy. There are also board games to play if you want to relax a little longer, plus cute items for purchase like badges, totes, and other cat-themed goodies. The staff are very sweet and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Most importantly, the cats here are up for adoption, and I truly hope they all find their forever homes. Such a fun, calming, and heartwarming place—highly recommend! Thank you to the owners for providing such a safe, loving space indoors for these cats until they are adopted. 🫶❤️❤️ 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Checked out Yumiao Cat Cafe for the second time over the weekend and honestly didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did. I’m not even a huge cat cafe person, but this one actually felt calm, clean, and well-run. It doesn't have that neglectful sad or chaotic energy you sometimes get at other animal cafes. You get a drink included with entry and the cup looked cute as well. The real highlight though was the cats — all 10+ of them. Most of them were chill or playful and are kind enough to let you pet them. None of them seemed stressed or over-handled, which says a lot about how the staff run things. We timed our visit for the weekend feeding session and it was worth it. You could really see their personalities shine — the greedy ones fighting over food and the shy/slow eaters. The whole place felt peaceful. Not too many people crowding the cats (because of the enforced session ratio), and the environment was super aesthetic — minimal, clean white space, and places to sit or chill without feeling rushed. Would I go again? Yeah, probably. Especially if I need a serotonin boost. Bonus points if you’re a cat person, but even if you’re not, it’s an easy good time.
