    Located in Tangram Mall, Kokoro Cat Cafe has adoptable cats that you can interact with. The cost is about $20 for a time limit of 40 minutes Make sure you come on time as they are strict with the timing of each session. If the session is not full, they also allow walk-ins. In the waiting area, they ask that you take your shoes off and you sign a waiver. Inside, the space is pretty spacious with plenty of room for the cats and people to move around. It was also very clean. If you leave a Google review, they give you freeze-dried treats that you can give to the cats. Depending on the time of day, the cats may be active or napping but once they know you have treats in your hand, they'll approach you very quickly. There is also plenty of toys that you can use to interact with the cats. I personally think there's a big ratio between the amount of people that are let in and the amount of people they allow per session. Other than that, I had a positive experience. I hope these babies are able to find a furever home soon!

    If you like cats, you will love this place. Adopt a cat! Came here with my little niece who got so happy and excited to come here! She has family members who are allergic to cats, so coming here is the next best thing. It's best to reserve online to make sure the time you want to go is available. Admission is $20 for 40 minutes. You can also do walk-in if they have spots available. They limit the number of people who can enter at every hour. Get there early, for time to sign a waiver, and go over rules. Shoes must be removed... So make sure your socks don't have holes in them. The lobby has benches, coat hooks and shoe cubby holes for your possessions. All cats are available for adoption! Right now, they have 11 fuzzy kitties to play with, but all may not be available for playing. They may be sleeping or otherwise occupied. All the workers here are nice and helpful. The interior is Japanese inspired, with cat trees, shelves and pillows everywhere. One con is this place would be even better if there were more cats available to play with. They seem to work with one cat rescue team. There are plenty of other worthy cat rescues organizations out who would be more than happy to bring over more cats. I know some if needed. The second time we came here, it felt like there were more people then there were cats available. Maybe some were hiding? My niece had to wait around before being able to play with a kitty. At 3:20PM - 4:00PM, they are closed in order to clean and feed the cats. You can watch this happening from the outside windows. Don't knock on the windows, offending them. They do have some cool Japanese drinks available for purchase. Plenty of seating available.

    Cute cafe! Big space and lots of cats to play with. However don't like how they are asking for tips when you book your appointment. Who am I tipping, the cats?

    Nice cat cafe that is clean and minimalistic in design. It's reasonably priced for a cat cafe and there were around 9-10 kitties when I went. However I did not like their extra surcharge to feed the kitties an extra treat- it was 9 dollars- consisted of a little Polaroid pic taken while you are feeding a kitty- a tiny frozen snack and a Japanese drink. When I went they Ran out of Japanese drinks and would not replenish for 10 days. So they could only offer me a bottled water. I felt like it would not have been too much issue for them to refill their drinks as it was common stuff like the Japanese green tea bottles- why does it take 10 days to replace- just go to the supermarket down the block. . I just felt like this was lazy and is not an equivalent value for their feeding package. The feeding package should have been slightly discounted or at least give a beverage that is similar in value instead of generic bottle water. Also the treat they gave us barely had any kitty snack in it- it was mostly ice so the cats weren't interested in it for long and it was so messy. It would have been easier if they had given everyone a churro snack. It's the nicer of the cat cafes in queens but it could be better.

    Loved it! It was so much fun and the staff cares so much. I love that all the cats are up for adoption. The place is clean and aesthetically cute. You can buy different packages for the cats. But if you buy food for the cats they will come to you more.

    Very cute and unique spot--definitely one of the few cat cafes in NYC that's worth checking out if you're a cat lover. The cats here are super cute and well taken care of, and the entry fee is a good deal whether you're looking to adopt or just hang out with some furry friends for a bit. They only let a few people in at a time, which actually works out great because you get more space and time to interact with the cats without it feeling crowded or chaotic. The space itself is cozy and clean, and even if you're just walking by, you can peek in from outside to see the cats lounging around. It's a relaxing and wholesome way to spend an hour.

    Good experience. Girls that work there were friendly. The cats were cool. Most of them were sleepy which I didn't mind. Only thing that would have made this experience way better is limiting the amount of people. There are only like 6 active cats moving rest are sleeping and like 20 people in the room which means kinda hard to spend personal time with the cats. As not enough of them. Another note is the black cat and the one in this photo were aggressive. I got bit by the black one which hurt , luckily the worker said they don't have diseases so should be fine. Price is reasonable too. 20 bucks is not bad for a unique experience in New York City .

    i've been to many cat cafes in nyc, but in terms of ambience, customer service, and cats, this place is by far my favorite. the interior looks amazing, and the cats are so adorable. i def recommend going before lunchtime, as they are more active. the people who work here clearly love the cats, and it's so great to see establishments like this take in sheltered cats to look for a home. definitely recommend!!

For those who live near a Universal Studios, you will see some items here that they also sell in the theme parks. There's also a small cafe area for your pastries and drinks. My friend got a mini sized "happee birthdae harry" pink cake + pumpkin juice. I had a sip of the pumpkin juice and it tasted like thick consistency apple juice. It's not bad but it's not something I would personally order. When it comes to the food items, think novelty over quality. It's good for the 'gram, ya know? There's one single bathroom is located on the second level. Be sure to check out the Dark Arts/green Slytherin room. Plenty of photo ops in this store.

I absolutely loved the idea and the overall vibe of the cafe. That said, we came specifically for coffee and mochi donuts, and unfortunately those fell a bit short. The coffee was just okay, and the mochi donuts weren't great - ours tasted on the staler side, which was disappointing. Overall, I really think this place has a lot of potential. The service is great and the concept is very unique for this area, and with some improvements to the quality and freshness of the food and drinks, it could easily become a go-to spot. Worth checking out for the aesthetic, but I'm hoping the menu catches up to how cool the space is.

The cafe is pretty big, they have a separate room for events! Plenty of photo ops throughout. They have a menu of sandwiches as well as pastries and such. I ordered the caramel macchiato and my gf got the taro bubble tea. I tried both and loved them! The woman at the counter was very helpful. It was approx $15 for both which is expensive but I'd rather pay that to a small business owner than some big corporation.

Rupsi is the owner and she is so adorable; truly passionate about providing an artistic space that promotes good energy. I love that about her. Had the pleasure of meeting her during my visit. The highlight here is the coffee (of course). You need to try the Turkish coffee. I forgot what kind of latte I got here but it was great. The friend I went with got a chai and he loved it too. The design of the cafe is so intentional... the decor shows Rupsi's desire to have a space that radiates good vibes. I'm obsessed with the fact that she has in-house DJs playing to make your coffee trip a unique and pumped up one. I had to stop myself from spending lots of money here because the jewelry and accessories that she has in store are sooooooo cute lol.

They also have a little section where you can purchase jewelry, coasters and keychains just to name a few. There is some seating here to enjoy your coffee at. They have a few food items too, but I did not get food. I tried the Turkish coffee and an iced latte. The Iced latte was very milky. The Turkish coffee I really only got because it comes in a beautiful pot/cup. It is not something I would think I like but I was wrong. I liked it more than the Iced latte. I was shocked. Their cups they have here are cute as you can see in the pictures. It is a good vibes only place. If I am in the area I would deff come back and try out a different drink and give it another chance.

There are plenty of seats but during the weekends they fill up quickly. I would just recommend coming in earlier. Really enjoyed their strawberry matcha latte and banana latte. The matcha had a strong creamy flavor that complimented the strawberry flavor very well. Judging from the color, it was definitely a decent quality matcha. The hot banana latte was not too sweet and really impressed me with the taste. It wasn't artificial and was very comforting on a colder day. I also tried the oolong tea cheesecake. The texture was moist and the perfect density for a cheesecake. While the tea flavor was light, I would get it again.

During the weekday is a great space to work. The wait is minimal and I received my order quickly. The latte was excellent! The espresso was smooth and therefore paired well with black sesame. The sandwich was good but nothing special. Great cafe but more savory selection.
