Cat cafe at International Market Place! 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. read more

The Cat Cafe Moff is located in the International Marketplace in Honolulu. Never did I think I would visit a cat cafe, but when in Hawaii, I guess. My daughter really wanted to check it out and I agreed to go even though I am a dog person through and through. When we arrived, we were immediately greeted by a friendly and knowledgeable staff member. She broke down all of the rules, pricing and cats that we would get to meet. I believe it was $23 per person for 30 minutes and it was an additional $3 or $5 for cat treats. They give you a buzzer that will notify you when your 30 minutes is up which I thought was cool. There were cats of every different personality - I actually loved being able to feed them with the wooden spoon that was provided. There were wooden benches throughout the room to sit at and let the cats come to you or you could walk around and visit each one. There are very specific rules for each cat - based on how you interact and who can and can't eat certain treats. The staff does a good job of watching everything without making it feel uncomfortable. I thought the environment was very chill and relaxing - we never felt rushed or bored. They do not allow food inside the room for obvious reasons, but your $23 gets you a free drink. Overall, I had a great time visiting with all of the cats and I would probably visit again if I were given another chance! read more

Need a cat fix in Waikiki? Miss your cat(s) while on vacay and need to do some petting? Well, here's a pleasant surprise, there's a cat cafe in the International Marketplace in Waikiki. Yes, that once beloved marketplace where you went to find cheap Hawaiian trinkets amid the banyan trees is now home to high-end Rolex, Tesla, Art Galleries, Kona Coffee & B-Patisserie, and Cat Cafe Moff. CCM is located on the second floor of the IM and is a place to escape the glitzy, hustle and bustle of Kalakaua to get your petting on. And your playtime includes a drink! Around 15 cats but really didn't see 15 in the whole place.... They also have two other cafes if you need to play and pet elsewhere in Oahu... read more

Cute cats, but overall a subpar experience. The cats themselves were adorable, and I appreciate that the café has rules in place to protect their safety and comfort. However, the guest experience felt overly restrictive and awkward. Upon entering, we were given a long list of rules in a very monotone way, including no picking up cats, no touching cats near the glass/window area, no flash photography, and a collar-color system for temperament. While I understand the importance of boundaries, the overall tone made the experience feel more like entering a highly regulated exhibit than a warm, relaxing cat café. Another issue was that guests were not allowed to leave and re-enter, even to use the bathroom. That made the experience feel unnecessarily rigid and uncomfortable, especially for a timed visit. Several cats seemed tired or overstimulated, and three different cats attempted to bite when approached or lightly interacted with. A staff member mentioned that they were probably tired from seeing people all day, which made sense -- but it also made the experience less enjoyable as a guest. I felt unsure which cats were safe to interact with, so I mostly ended up sitting there awkwardly while staff watched. I've been to other cat cafés where the cats were more social, guests were given clearer guidance on which cats were open to interaction, and the overall atmosphere felt more welcoming. I think this café could improve by rotating tired cats out more often, making the temperament system clearer, having staff proactively introduce guests to the more social cats, allowing bathroom re-entry, and making the rule explanation feel less intimidating. The cats are very cute, but the experience itself felt more like observing cats from a distance than actually enjoying a cat café. read more

Be prepared for a cuteness overload! Cat Café Moff in Waikiki is an absolute gem and such a wonderful experience for anyone who loves cats or just wants a relaxing break from the busy streets of Waikiki. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a cozy, calm atmosphere and the sweetest cats lounging, playing, or curiously coming up to say hello. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and clearly cares deeply for the cats, which makes the whole experience even better. We purchased some treats, and that's when the fun really began -- the cats were instantly more interactive, climbing into our laps, playing with toys, and showing off their adorable personalities. It was so heartwarming to see how each cat had its own little quirks -- some playful, some cuddly, and others just quietly watching from their favorite spots. The space is clean, organized, and very peaceful. You can tell the cats are well cared for and comfortable. It's the perfect way to spend an hour -- petting cats, taking cute photos, and just soaking in the good vibes. Whether you're a local or just visiting Waikiki, I highly recommend stopping by Cat Café Moff for a dose of happiness and a whole lot of purrs. read more

Located on the second floor of the International Marketplace, this cat cafe has different breeds of cats to interact with. We came after meal time, so the cats were sluggish and sleepy, but no worries, that didn't take away from the experience. There was a flyer detailing all the cats, their names, and any special instructions. For example there was one cat on a diet, so customers were instructed not to feed treats (which were available for purchase in the premises). My favorite cat was the ragdoll chilling on top of the refrigerator. He had an anxiety sweater because of his habit to overgroom. Service was great--the workers were super friendly, attentive, and helpful. They were very thorough with instructions and the dos and don'ts of the cafe. Overall this was a cool experience! read more

While exploring the International Marketplace, my wife and I stumbled across Cat Café Moff -- and of course, we had to check it out! The experience was wonderful. It's such a soothing environment -- spending time petting cats, relaxing, and taking a little break from the busy Marketplace. The cats were all very well cared for, healthy, and clearly loved. The entire space was clean, comfortable, and welcoming. I didn't catch her name, but the staff member who looked like she might've been the manager was fantastic. She was incredibly kind, easy to talk to, and even helped bring some of the cats our way to interact with and play. It made the visit feel even more personal and enjoyable. Overall, it was such a fun and calming stop during our day. If you're a cat lover (or just need a relaxing break with some furry company), Cat Café Moff is definitely worth it. We'll happily return next time we're in Waikiki. read more

While in Honolulu, we spent a half hour petting cats to relax one morning. It did not disappoint! There were so many different and cute breeds.

I don't understand the bad reviews-we had a great time! We got there right when they opened. The employees were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the process and the cats. It's discounted for kama'aina. My toddlers LOVE cats. The place itself is very comfortable, like a living room. The cats all seemed very happy and well cared for. 30 minutes was enough time for us to hang out, play and feed them. Free lockers to keep your stuff in and a buzzer for when your time is up. We had the place to ourself for most of it. It was a fun thing to do with the kids on a free weekend. read more

Cat Cafe MOFF is located at the International Market Place, and you don't have to make a reservation as they accept walk-ins! You can reserve increments of time, and your visit also includes a canned refreshment. They had an adorable number of cats, where my particular favorites were Mahina (a cream tabby white Scottish Fold sweet girl), Hoku (a brown tabby white Maine Coon boy, who seemed curious), and Laki (the red tabby white Scottish Fold boy, who seemed a bit mischievous and super playful!)! The staff were very loving and seem to take care of each cat very well, with undivided attention and keeping them active. The space was very clean and inviting!

Before entering, they make you fill out a risk and liability waiver form on your phone. After paying, they let you know about their cat color system to identify which cats are not friendly and which cats you're not supposed to give treats to. They give you a lanyard that contains a ticket that you could use to claim a complimentary drink. You have the choice to interact with the cats for 30 minutes or an hour. $23 for 30 minutes, $28 for 1 hour. They offer a small resident discount when presented with a Hawaii state ID. They also sell you treats to feed the cats for an additional fee. When you enter, there are storage lockers to store your belongings but there is no locks -- which is a concern because Waikiki is full of tourists that come from anywhere in the world so I can't fully put my faith into strangers whom I am not in community with. The cats are super cute. Most cats seem to not want to interact with you unless you want to purchase treats. Some will interact with the toys. Most cats stay in the towers or hide inside storage bins, to signal that they want to be left alone. You aren't allowed to carry the cats. They give your three warnings before kicking you out if you break the rules. I would give this place 5 stars but after finding out from other reviews that this place is for-profit, the cats were imported to Hawaii and are non-adoptable, it feels wrong. There are other cat cafes in the island that host local cats that are adoptable. read more

I wouldn't consider it a true cat cafe since there's no actual coffee bar and the cats are not adoptable. They have purebred cats that you can interact with. They live there at the "cafe." We were able to just walk in without making an appointment. There is no bathroom in the cafe and you cannot leave in the middle of your session to use the bathroom. Use the mall bathroom before you go. You can choose to go in for 30 minutes for $23 or 60 minutes for $28. We did 30 minutes. It doesn't seem like a lot of time but after a while it gets a little boring. You can pet the cats if the cat consents but you cannot pick them up. At the front counter, you can buy 10 crunchy cat treats for $3 or a cat jello "frappe" for $5 but the cats prefer the treats. They give you a spoon to put the treats on so that the cats can't bite your fingers. The person at the counter gives you drink tickets and a treat receipt to exchange for the treats and drinks when you get inside. You get a drink included with admission, like a can of Coke or juice or tea. After listening to the rules, signing a waiver, and opting to buy cat treats, we were able to go inside. They provide free lockers to store large bags in because they don't want you bringing them in with the cats. The locker is in their second entrance, in between the cat room and the front entrance, so it's not accessible to the public. There is a system where the cats without the collars are the most friendly. The one with a red collar is the most moody or whatever. I don't really understand why they don't adopt that cat out so it's not in an environment that it doesn't fully enjoy. The cats were somewhat playful but none of them really wanted affection. I think that's just the way cafe cats are, though. I've been to a few cafes and they're really hit or miss. They have two American Maine Coons. Just a nitpick, but in my opinion if you're going to showcase purebred cats, it makes more sense to have a European Maine Coon because their features and size look so different than a standard cat. The American Maine Coons that they have (Kanoa and Hoku) barely have ear tufts. read more

We were absolutely horrified by our experience at this place. Our daughter has been really into cats lately, so we thought this would be a fun, safe way for her to interact with them. Instead, it turned into a nightmare. Right at the door, the staff told us that cats without collars were safe for children and friendly to approach. Based on that information, we let our daughter go up to one of those supposedly "safe" cats--and within seconds, it pounced on her and scratched her face. She was terrified and in pain. We had barely been in the facility for five minutes. The response from the staff was beyond inadequate. All they did was hand us a basic first aid kit and offer a refund--as if that would undo what just happened to our child. There was no real apology, no concern, no accountability. Just a shrug and a refund for our "inconvenience." This wasn't an "inconvenience." This was a completely preventable incident caused by their own misinformation and lack of proper safety measures. Don't claim your animals are safe for children if they clearly are not. This is entirely on the facility--not the animals. We're furious and deeply disappointed. read more

For a unique experience, come visit Cat Cafe Moff at the International Marketplace. You can purchase tickets for 30 minute or 60 minute visits, which include one drink. The beverages are chilled cans of things like Hawaiian Sun. The concept is pretty simple, you're there to hang around with cats. They have some unique breeds. The cats with ribbons/collars are meant to signify those you are not supposed to touch and, admittedly, there are quite a few that are off-limits. You can also buy cat snacks (dry snack) and cat jelly (wet snack you spoon, which was called a cat frappe at the time of my visit). I thought it was pretty necessary to have a food enticement or else the cats just wanted to ignore you. We picked the more expensive cat jelly/frappe thinking cats would love it, but they were giving all their attention to another customer with dry snacks. If you want to be overrun with cats like a wild cat lady, buy some snacks, sit still and don't move when they come to you. read more

Visited the cat cafe because... who can resist cats? The person up front was super informative on what to do, how to interact with each one, and the rules to follow. If your bag is too big they have lockers for you to store them in. We visited about 30 minutes past their opening time on a weekday and their place was already full of people. There are plenty of seats available to just sit, play, and interact with them. There are cats everywhere so there is not just one specific spot. The cost is $23 for 30 minutes per person. I sadly dont remember the cost for an hour. You can feed them but it costs $12 for a kitty frap. They offer treats to feed them, but i also sadly dont remember the cost for that. I do remember it was cheaper. Overall, I recommend visiting! I did see on here that they are not up for adoption. This location also doesnt offer coffee drinks, only fridge drinks. Their other location does offer both. read more

Cat Cafe Moff Waikiki is the smaller version of the Ala Moana counterpart. There are certain ribbons on some cats that indicate if they are more willing to be pet or not/or shy. I noticed that at Ala Moana none of the meow meows have ribbons so I guess the Ala Moana cats are the most sociable of the bunch. I'm happy I went to the Waikiki branch though because I wanted to see Piko and Liko the popular kitty social media stars. Munchkin kitties with short legs. I love them. Same rules apply as the Ala Moana location. Location is significantly smaller, so I would definitely choose the Ala Moana place over this one, but the staff (the meow meows) are specific to each location. I would come just to see Piko and Liko honestly. LOL read more

We in the middle of our Hawaii trip and miss our furry babies at home so we had to come here and pet some other kitties and hopefully contribute to their care and wellbeing. The collar system is great for indicating who is free to pet, who to be wary of, and who is a "no no". I also like that there are kitty "safe spaces" that the kitties can escape to and that should be respected. The fluffy kitties all look well cared for and groomed. The room was quiet and calm with Lofi music playing and it was a very calming and soothing space with the kitties there. Overall it was a nice experience, and good to support kitty care through business patronage :) *EDIT* after reading some of the other reviews for this business below I'm amending my review. I would expect that with cats always in need of adoption when I've worked with rescues that a place like this would be focused on adoption. I'm very disappointed by this fact. read more

We came across this Cat Cafe while walking around the mall. I was immediately intrigued by the cute and fluffy cats in there! I had never seen so many fluffballs in one place. We returned the next day and purchased the 30-minute slot for $23 each. We also purchased a jelly snack for $5 each since we wanted to interact with the cats. These cats were cute but very aloof. The only time they came to you was to eat the treats you had in your hand. We were only allowed to pet them, but most of them didn't even want to be touched. I later found out that this cafe is for profit only, and these cats were flown in to live in it and entertain people. No wonder they're so aloof! They're overwhelmed! I felt miffed after discovering that it's a for-profit-only cafe and the cats aren't up for adoption. Miffed at Moff. I wouldn't go back there; it just felt weird and unwelcoming. read more

Not worth it. The cats didn't really want to interact and mostly looked like they wanted to be left alone. They seemed tired of all the visitors coming in and out, petting them, and offering treats all day. Even the treats which you have to pay extra for didn't interest them at all, which made it feel not worth the price. Most of the cats just wanted to walk away and do their own thing. This was our first time visiting with our kids, my kids was excited but one ended up just playing with the cat toys, and the other really tried to interact but couldn't get any response from the cats. and while the idea is nice, the experience fell a bit flat. read more

The service was 5/5 with simple instructions & rules on how to interact with the cats. They had informational placards with which cats you could interact with, and a photo placemat with all of the cats names, ages, & breed. You could purchase treats for the cats, and we purchased their "crunchy treats" which were $3. It was a small amount of treats for the price, but the cats loved it. $23 for 30 minutes. $28 for 60 minutes. Overall the place was well kept & clean, & they had lots of toys & places for the cats to relax. read more

Hey Yelpers! Here for a furry time! Cat Cafe Moff: Internal Market place. This is my first experience at a cat cafe and I took my niece. I will say that I feel the prices are quite overpriced for the experience but it was a good one nonetheless. I enjoyed being around these cats yet most of them weren't too social and ran away from me which was disappointing. I wish I was able to interact with more. However, the place wasn't busy at the time so my niece and I had all the cats to ourselves! They had a decent collection of cats which I have pictured here, many fluffy ones. This place was quite interesting however I'm not sure if I would attend again, mostly due to the price. read more

After walking by this place, my son had been asking nonstop if we could "go to the cat cafe." We finally caved and came in on a Monday late afternoon. You pay about 25 bucks each for 30 min with the cats. You get a beverage included with the ticket purchase. They have all the names and types of cats on the wall. Very unique experience and we opted for the dry treats to make it extra special for my son. The workers are very in tune with the cats and seem to know everything about them. They are identified by colored collars to let you know which cats do not like being touched. My son was extremely gentle with them and he had a lot of fun. Somehow my partner who usually dislikes cats, asked if we could bring one home. One thing to note is that this is a for profit cat cafe. MOFF is a franchise from Japan. All the cats are flown in from Japan and are adopted out at 5 years old. We actually wanted to visit the nonprofit closer to the zoo but we had a packed schedule and had returned our rental car already. Take it for what it is, an experience to hang out with cats. read more

I came to the cafe because my daughter wanted to visit. I've visited cat cafes before in Japan, so I knew what to expect. The staff were thorough with the policies and rules. I really appreciate these rules and the staff who reinforce them. It is for the cats' best interests ultimately and for our safety. My daughter (3 years old) had a blast and we'll probably be back for more soon. read more

I brought my daughter to this cat café expecting a fun and relaxing visit. The café uses a bandana system to indicate cat behavior: cats without a bandana are supposedly friendly and safe to interact with, while cats wearing a bandana should be left alone. But less than 15 seconds after entering the cat area, my daughter gently approached a bandana-free cat--exactly the kind the staff said was safe. Out of nowhere, the cat lunged and scratched her across the face, narrowly missing her eye and leaving a visible mark. It was a terrifying and painful experience. Staff did provide a first aid kit, which we appreciated, but there was no real concern or accountability. More importantly, this experience made it very clear that the bandana system is unreliable, and the cats--regardless of bandana status--are not safe to be around. This café openly markets itself as a family-friendly space, but based on our experience, it is absolutely not safe for children. The environment is unpredictable and potentially dangerous. If you're a parent considering this as a fun outing with your kids, I strongly advise you to think twice. This is not a safe place for a family visit. We won't be coming back, and I hope no other child has to go through what mine did. read more

What a fantastic place. The staff is so friendly and they explain everything. It's very organized and the cats are really cute. It was very relaxing. The cats are a bit aloof. The birthdates of the cats were posted, and they all seem to have been born around the same time. According to a small bit of information on the wall. Some backstory on the cats would have been interesting. read more

This cat cafe is set up kind of like the ones in Taiwan where cats live in the cafe and you have coffee and study or read. This location does not have coffee but I was told there is another location that does. Also, you are unable to study here. The idea is the cats live here full time and are well taken care of. The cats here are purebred, so they all have purebred personalities. That is something to keep in mind if you have never been around purebred cats like mainecoon cats. They also have scottish folds and a munchkin adult cats. If you would like to experience what it's like to be around a purebred cat this is the place and it's cheaper than buying one. The staff in the room was kind to us and helped guide us to which cats were more friendly. She was also more than willing to answer all our questions. As with all cats it's actually better to let cats come to you, but you can per the ones without collars. Our 2 year old did have a good time, but you have to keep a very close eye on them as there are a lot of cats with collars which means do not touch. Also, if a cat without a collar feels like they have been pet too much or they do not like being pet their ears will go back and they will back away this is when you need to quickly react. I grew up owning cats and unfortunately cats act really quickly so if you are a parent with a little one that is a little bit nervous then you should hold off. We enjoyed are time and appreciated the staff giving us space. read more

What a fun experience. Especially when away from your own fur babies on a long vacation. These kitties and their adult helpers were very nice and kind. It was extremely clean inside there as well. They had a lot of rules which made me nervous so I just sat and let cats come to me if they wanted but it's to keep them safe and healthy so that's okay especially when dealing with the public. You never know there are too many crazy people in this world. Very nice experience I hope these babies stay safe and happy here. read more

Happy experience, all the cats are well taken care of. Would I return?

Newly opened on September 2023, this beautiful cafe is located on the second floor of the international market place. At $28 for an hour and $22 for 30 mins hanging out with the different varieties of cats was well worth it. The cats were healthy and well taken care of. The staff was friendly and informative, the location was spacious and clean, it was such a great experience with the adorable cats! I definitely recommend trying this place out!

Been here twice. And that'll be it. $23 for 30 mins, $28 for 60 mins which comes with a complimentary canned or bottled drink. But you have to buy the treats to get the cats to come around you. Once you're out of treats, they're out of interest in you. The cats are breeds we don't normally see in Hawaii but they're hardly socialized and they're just for show, can't adopt anyone. The fact that there are color coded collars that denote whether you can interact with said cat seems wild to me when you're charging people to come in to, in fact, interact with these cats. Red collars are hands off even if the cats are receptive to you. Not sure how you further socialize a skittish cat if patrons are told not to touch them. read more

Such a cute concept! We visited during feeding time which occurs twice a day (12 pm & 5pm) and you'd think that would suffice their hunger! They didn't fail to take treats from us throughout our entire visit! You can purchase your time with the kitties in 30 minute increments, and beverages + cat treats are sold once inside. Highly recommend the frappe treats if you want all the felines to flock over to you. Great experience! read more

Personally my favorite was Hoku (a Maine Coon) and Mahina (a Scottish Fold). All of the cats absolutely love the Cat Jelly with some of them grabbing at our hands to pull the spoon to them.

This is a great way to interact and learn about the different breeds of cats. Definitely will be back. read more
