    We were in town for my birthday and I came across this place on an Instagram reel and we just had to come!! I've always wanted to meet Cabybaras! This was SO cool! The staff was super friendly and everything was very organized with the timing, feeding, instructions, etc. All the animals looked taken care of and they were all so cute! They had a Kangaroo which was very unique, as well as a Patagonian Mara! Highly recommend if you're in town! Such a fun and different activity for all ages!

    We've now been here twice - once early on after opening and now in late November. We have done the main capybara experience both times and have enjoyed it. Our first experience was more fun because it was a little more chaotic (in a good way!). You were able to sit on the couches and pull a blanket over you and the animals could come up there with you. That has since changed - you can't sit down if you have the kale. I can only imagine they encountered some good reasons to stop allowing that, but it did make the second experience a little more flat. This time, though, their setup seemed to make a lot more sense. The couches off to one side and any animals in their habitats like off in a corner or in their own little sections. The way they had it set up allowed for people to space out a little better and have something to do in each area. I thought it was a good update overall! They swap out some of the animals, which is kinda cool to see some different ones - but we missed the giant Flemish rabbits this time. They will pull out an animal near the end - we go to touch the snake this time and last time they brought out the fennec fox. It's a really cool experience to be amongst all these animals you normally wouldn't. You get one piece of kale with admission, and each additional is $1. Generally, you would be fine for the 30 minutes with 2-3 stems of kale. There are some gift shop options on your way out. They have a nice small collection there - shirts and stuffed animals. Some staff seem more focused on making sure rules are followed and things are cleaned up, but there will be some that are more available to ask questions and hear about the animals, which is nice. There generally seems to be at least 3-4 staff members in the experience at the same time. Keep in mind - these are not domestic animals being kept in an indoor area. People complain about the smell, but it smells like animals. It's a bunch of animals in an enclosed space. It's going to smell like animals. It does seem like they may need to look into better flooring for the main animal area when they're able. After just a couple months, it's already showing major wear after I'm assuming the animals going to the bathroom. I'd imagine there has to be a more durable option that would clean up nicely and stay better longer. There were several animal bathroom moments during our second visit, and they were very on top of getting things cleaned up quickly. Overall, it's a fun experience and worth doing if you haven't before.

    The whole experience was worth the money. The staff is very informative and feeding the animals is so much fun. They have random animals they take care of sometimes. We got to see 4 day old kids (baby goats).

    I love animals so of course I had to visit the Capybara Cafe! The experience is for 30 minutes. The staff here were really nice. They don't just have capybara's, they also had a tortoise, rabbits, ferrets, an otter, birds and guinea pigs. I think they had lemurs but it's a separate experience. You get to feed most of the animals some lettuce and pet them. They're all so cute and friendly. I think 30 minutes was just enough time to put them all and take pictures, I think any more than that there wouldn't be much to do. I think if you love animals and you really wanna meet capybara you should definitely come here!

    This Capybara Cafe is totally adorable. They had a variety of animals including 3 capybaras, a 30+ year old tortoise, 2 baby goats, a fennec fox, a ball python, a chicken, a variety of birds, a naked guinea pig, two chinchillas, a giant rabbit, and a Patagonian Mara. We paid $65 for a half hour of utter bliss with these animals. The workers were very informative. I highly recommend. We will be back!

    We had an amazing time at the Capybara Cafe! Saw lots of animals and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. I would love to come back because 30 minutes with all the animals went by WAY too quickly! I would recommend this place to any animal lovers, it's clean well maintained and an upbeat and fun atmosphere. One piece of lettuce was included with purchase to feed the animals and I felt like that was a good amount if you ripped it up.

    This place is super neat because it's all indoors and there's different tears of lounges to see the animals. My partner and I went to go see the capybara lounge and there were four capybara's that we could feed kale snacks too, and then there was also a sea otter a couple birds and some tortoises as well as two other animals available for us to see. This place kind of just feels like an elevated petting zoo, and I gave us an opportunity to see how large capybara's are in size. I would definitely come again and try a different tier of their lounge access just to see what else they Have. The location of this place is also a little hidden. There are signs out front, but they are a little small. I did miss the exit and had to do a U-turn at the red light to come back.

    What an absolutely AMAZING experi nce! And you are helping the animals also! This is the capybara cafe.. the staff was helpful and educational. It was a learning experience to have someone so knowledgeable spend time with you and the lemurs so you could learn about them. This would go again.

    This place has been on my list for many many months. Finally I was able to get our family together for this experience. It was easy to find, with lots of parking. As soon as we walked in, you could see the animals roaming around in the enclosed area. There were half walls surrounding where the current session was happening. We did not make a reservation online ahead of time, which I would strongly recommend. There weren't enough spots for our family so we booked the following session. As we waited, we checked out their gift shop and watched others enjoying the animals. When it was our turn, we were given a wrist band and a brief set of instructions. The rule about not picking up the animals seemed to surprise many people around us. The person had just explained how we must use the provided tongs to feed the animals, as well as using a blanket if we were to sit on the couches beside any resting animal. All these rules were to protect us, as well as the animals. As soon as we entered, we were greeted by a happy hustler of a tiny goat. This guy was quick to run from person to person, getting all the attention and food he could. The two giant turtles seemed to be sleeping. There was a big bunny and several capybaras. We had a blast! The staff was present to clean and check in with us. During our session, there were only 8 customers including us, which made us feel like we had the place to ourselves. We paid for extra food and appreciated the staff's advice to cut the leaves into smaller pieces. The interactions were great and the overall experience was wonderfully memorable. It was expensive but well worth it. It's not everyday you can contribute to helping care for animals whilst enjoying time with such unique creatures. The staff made the experience even better with how they left us to enjoy the animals but were nearby whenever needed. Our most reluctant teenage family member talked about returning for their birthday, so you know that says a lot. Can't wait to return!

    We had a great time with Daniel and Mizu the otter! We did half an hour in the Capybara lounge and half an hour with Mizu the otter. Daniel was very knowledgeable about otters and Mizu, we enjoyed learning from him. All of the animals seemed happy and content. This was a fun birthday expedition for us and I reccomend checking it out! I would definately spend an hour there at least and wish we could have done the baby capybara experience, it looked like a lot of fun.

    Lots of fun! Highly recommend! Great for families with young people and old people as well! The goats do like to climb especially when there is kale around, so, try not to sit on the floor to take pictures. The capybara are really mellow and hang out on the sofas. When walking around, keep an eye on your feet so you don't accidentally trip on the turtles moseying around. Also: do not wear dark green shirts or you will be mistaken for someone who works there! (Ask me how I know ;-p

    Going to Capybara Cafe was a birthday surprise arranged by my fiancée and close friend. I was so freakin excited! I've always wanted to pet a Capybara. It was cool that they had other animals as well to feed and pet. Other than the Capybaras there were tiny goats with very big personalities. Had so much fun feeding all the animals I purchased extra food for them. The staff were friendly and educational. It was a nice touch to have a little selfie/photo area on the way out. I will definitely be doing this again.

They have a connecting entrance through Vintage Marche and also their own entrance from the outside. Antique classic stuff can be found here and a cool old time bar where they make coffee, tea, matchas, lemonade, etc. they also have a pastry case and after 3pm it's buy one get one free. Service was friendly and patient and my matcha strawberry was tasty, I sat on one of the couches and enjoyed my drink before walking around.
