From the moment you walk in, you'll notice how cozy, clean, and relaxing the café is.

What impressed me the most is how well the cats are cared for. They are healthy, happy, playful, and incredibly friendly with everyone, which clearly reflects the love and dedication of the people behind this wonderful place.
The staff, a team of very friendly young ladies, provided excellent service throughout our visit. They were welcoming, attentive, and served everything quickly with genuine smiles, making the experience even more enjoyable.
What truly makes Neko & Kopi special is that they are doing something much bigger than running a café. They are creating awareness, providing a safe and loving environment for cats, and promoting compassion towards animals.

A wonderful and cozy spot located in Nawala. I’ve been wanting to visit for a while now and I’m so glad that i did. Adorable and playful cats. Environmentally friendly utensils (re-usable chopsticks and metal straws). Aesthetic ambience, especially for the anime lovers and creative individuals. I pretty much had the cafe all to myself in this rainy weather. Firstly, i ordered a lava hot chocolate beverage (i forgot the exact name of the drink) and it absolutely blew my mind. For the main meal, i ordered a rabokki and it was super delicious. Genuinely enjoyed the food. Lastly, i had a lime juice which was nice and refreshing. Tashini was so sweet and friendly, too. Overall:
Food & service 10/10 🍜☕️
Ambience 10/10 🐈🍃💌
Staff 2/10 (because there’s only two people working today lol) 😂
Keep up the good work! 👏🏽
