Each visit supports the upkeep and welfare of the animals, and it's fascinating to watch as visitors bond with them, creating an exceptional blend of delicious aromas and heartwarming interactions.

While the café does have a few regulations to ensure a calm environment for the pets—addressed in a comprehensive and, yes, somewhat lengthy explanation by the staff—most patrons find the experience overwhelmingly rewarding.
