    Loved the wooden decor of classic board games.
    Erica T.

    Decided to go the day after opening, great selection of games all in mint condition! Drinks and food were alright, fairly priced. Love that it's in Waterloo, was tired of going all the way to Toronto to try new board games.

    I really wanted to give this a high rating because what they are doing is really good. We met a…read morebunch of kitties. They were running around and playing. Quick heads up. As other mentioned this is not your usual kitty cafe. You get your drinks, go in and sit in what is similar to a living room. If the kitty's want to see you, they will come to you. We had an unfortunate situation where our barista forgot our drinks and snacks, but overall it was a good experience.

    Today is International Cat Day (August 8). I am marking the occasion by reviewing a wonderful…read moresanctuary for cats that are ready to be adopted. It's called My Kitty Cafe. It is occupied by the sweetest rescue cats in need of loving homes and the cafe is staffed by friendly folks who are animal lovers too. Their furry feline friends are full of personality, some more energetic (Arlo), some more affectionate (Bailey), and some more sleepy (Mama cat Catronia). A visit here costs an admission fee to pay a visit to this feline cafe especially if you are thinking of adopting a rescue cat. Be sure to read the rules ahead of time. Don't disturb sleeping cats. Don't pick up any of the cats. Bring an extra pair of socks to wear while walking inside. The ratio of people to cats was good which made it easier for guests to get an opportunity to interact with cats that were in a playful mood. Visits are limited to 50 minutes. My timed visit was made easier since I was given a buzzer which buzzed to notify guests that their time was up. The resident fur-balls will be happy you paid them a visit. The cafe's partner is Purrfect Companions of Norfolk Cat Rescue who help rescue cats find furrever homes.

There is a lot of tables for 2s, 4s, 8s, and the area right by the front cafe is somewhat closed off as well as a long wing on the side for larger groups. Along the walls are local artworks and trinkets for sale as well as store merchandise and other items. There is pizza, coffee, FUN! drinks, snacks, and baked goods at the front. During our visit, although we only had the drinks, many others had pizza, baked goods, etc. during their time hanging out and playing games. (They also offer a stamp card for drinks.) It looks like there are scheduled events for those that aren't as further afield as our group. For us, it was a nice stop between friends where we could meetup and hangout without travelling too far. Parking was plentiful. The service was great, the owners were both there and we were impressed by the quick service and help with the games. The game selection is moderate, they have all the classics and popular games like catan, wingspan, etc. as well as smaller box games like Sabobatage. Some games had copies as well so you don't have to wait too long for your favorites. Would visit again to enjoy games and snacks with friends again in this wonderful third space.

    I love the family friendly atmosphere of this cafe. It feels very cozy and everyone is so kind. If…read moreI could add any criticism, it would be: have dip with the plain chips, ask customers what they would like on the sandwiches in terms of condiments (my ham and cheese had mustard and therefore I could not eat it as I don't like mustard), a wider variety of games, and more milk alternatives. (Although I am happy to say, they now have lactose free milk!!)

    What a difference it makes going on a weekday vs on a weekend. If you have a chance, suggest to go…read moreon a weekday instead. The experience is definitely better. The staff working that day was super nice. She helped me take pic with a cat and also answered questions promptly. She was also very friendly. There are two admission and I chose the one that is $19.99 that includes a drink. There is no option for no ice and it starts at less ice. For sugar, you can customize for no sugar to 100% sugar. There are a number of cats there such as ragdolls, dex Rex, bengal, dsh etc This is not just a cat cafe but also a coffee and dessert shop. There are about 10 tables with chairs and the decor is super cute. PLastic covers need to be wear on your shoes when you go inside the cat room. The good thing about this place that the admission is good for the whole day and you can come back and drop in later until closing time and time certainly flies when in the company of the cats Highly recommend to check them out. The cats are so cute and they seemed to have different cats at times, cats that i haven't seen in my past visits.

    My family and I had a ton of fun at Meow Woo Studio! I've never been to a cat cafe before and I was…read morereally happy with my time here! Meow Woo Studio is divided into two sections: the cat area, and the cafe where they sell drinks (bubble tea) and some snacks (cakes and muffins). Before going into the cat area you have to put on plastic foot covers and sanitize your hands. There are also optional masks available and lint rollers (for when you leave, also optional). Unfortunately, you can't bring food or drink into the cat area but that makes sense for the safety of the cats. Also, as a quick fyi- the employee in the cat area needs to let you in and out so no cats wander out! There were a ton of cats and plenty of places to sit in the cat area. There are toys you can use to play with the cats and cat treats you can buy at an additional cost. I had a ton of fun petting and watching cats over the course of a few hours! You can't stay as long as you like and you are allowed to come and go as you please throughout the day. Finally, I just wanted to say how friendly the staff is! The individual behind the cafe counter was really nice and brought our drinks to our table when we were ready to have them. The individual in the cat area was obviously really good with the cats but he was also super friendly, having chats with guests and helping kids pet cats. They really help make Meow Woo Studio so inviting and an awesome person place to visit!

Many seats are in…read morethe shape of toilet rolls, there's toilet tissue on the tables & they have an anime mascot girl playing with coprolites. For a theme/novelty place prices were reasonable. Service was a bit slow so they get 4.5 stars. Sakura matcha was layered, which was pretty. Each layer had its own pleasant flavour. After mixing I couldn't really taste the Sakura, but it was still a good rich matcha drink. The chewy pearls at the bottom had a nice texture. Poop waffle was warm & crisp & came in a Japanese style toilet. There was a choice of custard, red bean or Nutella but I chose to hew to the theme. The crumb was fluffy & quite fragrant. It could have more Nutella but it was free with a checkin so I really couldn't complain.

Coming from the western United States, my daughter made a list of about 15 places in Toronto she wanted to go ... And this place was #1 on her list! After reading the reviews, my wife and I told her it might not be what we expected, but it was everything we hoped it to be! We went a little after noon on a Friday in August and the place was completely empty when we walked in. Torched Salmon Bowl - perfectly seared and flavorful salmon in a cute presentation. Mango Korean Snow Bing-Poo - Great dessert! Lychee Korean Snow Bing-Poo - Tasty Ube Coconut Toile Paper Rolls - Yumm! Vietnamese Coffee and Lyche Sakura Soda Downsides -We ordered a Lychee Poop Waffle but were given the Lychee Korean Snow Bing-Poo. We wanted to experience the waffle but were fine with the Bing-Poo because it was good! -If you are tall, going to the bathroom (whether it be 1 or poo) it was not be fun with a shirt ceiling. -I asked if I could hold our six-year-old as they rolled the ice cream (toilet paper), which is something she's never seen before and they said "No, that's something we don't do." I don't think it would've harmed anybody and we wouldn't have been in anybody's way if I just held her and let her watch the process. I know I've watched, other places as they have done this. Our 2 year old spilled the entire Lychee Sakura Soda before we even took a sip and they cleaned it up for us and gave us a new one!
