We had a blast here! My 7 year old daughter got invited to a birthday party, and even though she…read moreisn't a cat person, she really enjoyed it! I loved: - the easy parking - convenient location (I may have bought the birthday gifts right before at Pearlridge!) - how this is a non-profit that supports people with disabilities and sweet animals - snuggling with the adorable puppies outside available for adoption (I was so tempted!) My daughter loved: - feeding cats - playing with cats I was a little worried because she had a bad experience at a puppy cafe in Japan, but the kittens seemed well behaved. We got to enjoy grilled cheese sandwiches and and apple juice, and some outside food like pizza, because we were celebrating a birthday party. We'd love to come back and play with the animals again!

The space is thoughtfully separated into two rooms: one for little kittens and one for the adult cats, which I really appreciated. You're free to wander back and forth between rooms, so it feels relaxed and never rushed. Your visit comes with a small treat for you and a variety of cat toys to choose from! The cats are adoptable, which I thought was such a kind and humane touch. It's clear they genuinely care about finding these cats loving homes. Just a friendly heads-up: scratches can happen. Pretty sure the owner does their best to keep those tiny murder mittens trimmed, but cats will be cats. If you do leave with a few battle scars like I did, they've got you covered with bandaids and lint rollers too, because the cat hair is inevitable. Overall, this place is cozy, thoughtful, and incredibly cute!! Such a lovely experience!! I'd absolutely come back again!!

I also appreciated that a drink is included with admission, and they offer treats for purchase so you can get the kitties to come up to you. None of the cats were particularly affectionate during my visit, which is a first for me at a cat cafe... The kitties seemed to be picked more for their beautiful looks instead of loving temperaments, but I still loved to hang out with them. It was a relaxing and enjoyable experience overall. If you're a cat lover looking for a peaceful break I the mall, it's a nice stop!

I love going to MOFF! The only location I haven't been to yet is in International Marketplace. If…read moreyou want to kill time or take friends on a cute date/outing this is a good spot. They offer one free drink and you can buy cat treats if you want to interact with the cats more. All the cats are pretty chill and friendly and they all have super soft fur. The staff is very nice and the cats see well taken care of. They have no touch zones (safe spots) for the cats they can retreat to. And if they are not feeling the vibe I have seen workers take cats to the back to chill in peace. Highly recommend if you are looking to kill some time and pet some fluffy cute cats. You can choose 30 minutes or an hour.

Hawai'i Cat Café is one of my favorite little places near my home that features adoptable, adorable…read morecats and tasty drinks and snacks. They have a great mission: They team up with the Hawaiian Humane Society to showcase cats and kittens that are available for adoption, and if you are vetted and selected, you can take your chosen cat(s) home for their new life with you! Even if you're not in the market for a new companion, you can go to the Café, get a coffee or Italian soda, eat a scone, and pet adorable cats. There's always a nice rotating mixture of frisky kittens and older cats, and some are napping while others are playing. There are toys in the room where the cats are so you can interact with them. I always recommend reservations but you can walk in and see if there are spots available. You get lots of time to interact with the cats and it's usually not packed so there's room to interact with multiple kitties. Please check it out--it's such a good cause!

The price is also very affordable compared to other cat cafes. Reservations are recommended. I really like that the visit time is an hour instead of 30 minutes like some other places that charge double the price, which is honestly kind of crazy. I came with my daughter and it was $31 total for an hour of playing with the cats, which I think is totally worth it. They also have a cafe, which adds a nice touch to the experience.

So just know the high price, u are supporting local. Bad: - price is a bit on the steeper side, but with bishop museum membership you get 10% off, however in their defense, the food is ono The Weird: - I love the interior column in the space, it makes me wonder what was here before!

My hubby and I met Auntie for lunch here during winter break. We went on a Tuesday and it wasn't too busy. Since it was during winter break, there were a lot of kids around.

I got the Beef Stew Plate $16.99 that came with white rice and potato mac salad. The sourdough melt and beef stew plate came with measly portions. I counted five pieces of beef on my plate. The Hawaiian plate was worth it. It had so much more food on there. The food was good. It's the same food they serve at Highway Inn. I really liked the smoked beef in the melt.

They have a huge variety of food to choose from I was very surprised that the prices were great, and the food was a good variety seeing as it's the only thing out there for you to eat while you're there So if you get up early and you go to Pearl Harbor and you are stressed because you didn't eat enough food, don't worry you don't have to eat the hotdog at the hotdog stand. You can wait until you get here and eat some real food.

Once we were seated, the service was great and they were super kind. I was able to make a fruit swap request and they said it was not problem. The açai bowl tasted great! The fruit were super fresh. The açai wasn't as refreshing compared to what I had at "Tropical tribe" but I much preferred the freshness of the fruit, portions and cost here at Goofy's. The Piña Colada Smoothie was also delish! We sat next to the balcony and were able to people watch and bird watch which was fun. We overhead a table nearby, this was their 7th time visiting this cafe. They seemed to love it! Overall, I enjoyed the food, atmosphere and the staff were super friendly. If you are looking for a fast brunch spot, this is not the place due to the long wait time so if you want to eat here, arrive close to opening or plan for the wait time.

So there are two different models of cat/animal cafes:…read more One type is focused primarily on adoptions, rescue, rehabilitation, education, etc. Many partner with local nonprofit organizations and charities to help address the larger free roaming cat issue(s) on the island. There are many of these types of cat cafes on Oahu. There is also one on Maui. The other type is a for profit business that offers customers the opportunity to relax and interact with beautiful and sometimes exotic animals. This model is very popular in Japan and Cat Cafe MOFF, as a Japanese company, definitely falls into this category. Customers pay for a fixed amount of time with the cats (30 minutes, 1 hour, etc.) The entry comes with a complimentary drink. You can purchase additional treats for the cats. The cats here are not adoptable. They are well cared for in a clean and comfortable environment. The staff is pleasant and attentive to the cats' care and needs. It would not be fair to criticize one for not being enough like the other. Personally, our family supports both. Our kids loved their time at Cat Cafe MOFF and can't wait to return. Located in the Ala Moana Shopping Center. Ground level. Near the food court.

(the energy's tame) makes you wonder, wonder, wonder.... A Persian sits on a velvet throne, Feeling more hollow than a sun-bleached bone, He's got the lineage, he's got the fur, But don't you dare expect a purr. [Chorus] Dead inside, dead inside. Every single one of them dead inside. Dead inside, dead inside Every single one of them dead inside [Verse 2] Like a girlfriend after a blowout fight They turn their backs and they dim the light A Scottish Fold with those flattened ears Hasn't felt a feeling in a thousand years (a thousand years) [Chorus] Dead inside, dead inside. Every single one of them dead inside. Dead inside, dead inside Every single one of them dead inside [Verse 3] They avoid your gaze, they look away. No "meow" to greet you, nothing to say. Like a foster kid who's seen too much They flinch away from a human touch. (a human touch) [Verse 4] You wave a feather, you shake a treat They stay cemented to their seat. Maximum effort, zero return- 28 dollars is what they earned.

My boyfriend Ryan and I met the owner, Jasmin a while back when we were shopping and she invited us…read moreto check out her cafe. We found street parking across the street since parking in front of the café was limited. Jasmin welcomed us and pointed to the menu on the wall. We saw pictures of the food outside the window and the menu was written on a chalkboard stand. Her cafe is small, but very cozy with bright, cool looking furniture, and there were beautiful art work on the walls, and she had on some catchy Arabian music as well. We tried the Meza plate: Baba Ghanoush (smoky eggplant dip), Dolmas ( tangy grape leaves), Za'atar bread( spices, onions)- Jasmin said this was everyone's favorite, after the taste of this bread you guys, it became our favorite! It tastes super nice and it was flavorful! There was feta cheese, kalamata olives, and bread cut in a triangular shape. Jasmin told us to open the bread and grab the dips, and cheese with it. Every bite was a whole different experience! It was delicious! Jasmin said we had to eat the Za'atar bread, with the cheese on it and it was just yum! Jasmin let us try Saudi coffee, with sweet dates, and I also ordered the Honey Rose Latte. The Saudi coffee had cardamom in it so it's different from regular coffees. My Honey Rose Latte was good too. Jasmin asked if I wanted my latte sweeter and added more of the sweetener in my coffee. Even Ryan liked it too! The rose water gave it a nice touch. We also had the Turkey Panini~Jasmin's turkey panini was super crispy! There was cheese melting in the inside! You can hear the crunch in every bite! There were vegetables in it too like bell peppers, pesto, zucchini, and turkey meat. Ryan and I were really loving it! And for the final course, we had to try the desserts! We ordered two kinds of cakes, the sour cream poppy seed cake, and pumpkin spice loaf. These cakes were super moist, and not as sweet, which was perfect with our coffee. And there was a nice sugary crumble texture with it! So friends, if you are feeling adventurous and want to try something new, come on down to Jasmin's cafe at Mirage Arts & Coffee. She also does open mic nights, there would be live entertainment, belly dancers, so if you want to have a small get together, Jasmin welcomes everyone. Jasmin is a wonderful host. She will walk you through everything if you are not familiar with the foods, and she will entertain you too. This place will take you to another level, transport you to somewhere you have never been. So I do recommend you guys trying for the experience.

Cat cafe at International Market Place!…read more Once you enter and decide what you want to do, the employees have us scan a QR code and sign forms. Once you sign, they go over a list of rules that are to be followed or they will ask you to leave. They also have merch at the front. Once they do that, they gave us a key for our locker to put away our belongings and a buzzer for when our time is up. Entry also came with complimentary drink tickets! We bought the parfait and dry food to feed the cats, not all cats are able to eat the dry treats so you have to be careful. The cats were so cute, they were sleepy and taking cat naps, did not play too much. However, I found myself playing with one that was inside a tent and ran my nails on the outside and they were interacting by pawing from their side. There was only me and my boyfriend and a couple of other people inside but at the end, a lot of people came in and the cats were more active.
