Paws Cafe in New Taipei's Xinzhuang

This pet cafe has not been open for long. On the day of my visit, I met the resident cats—Bubbles, Oh Oh, and Lu Lu. All three are Ragdoll cats and extremely adorable! Their fur is beautifully white 🤍, and their eyes sparkle.

There’s a sleepy cat, a very lively E-cat, and another who guards the stairs waiting for a chance to escape.

The portions of the meals are quite large! Guys can easily finish them. The only downside is that the dining time is limited to 90 minutes. I miscalculated—while eating, I also wanted to pet the cats 😭. If you just plan to have afternoon tea, the schedule will be much more relaxed!

✨ Highly recommended:
◽ Bacon Avocado Eggs Benedict ✨ $340
＞ The bacon is slightly warmed and has a soft texture, topped with a runny egg and drizzled with cheese sauce, combined with fresh lettuce. The avocado is spread on the muffin, and the bacon itself is quite flavorful, pairing well with the lettuce. This combo comes with two portions! It also includes fries, salad, and fresh fruit, making it super filling for girls (so I let my boyfriend handle it).

◽ Spicy Black Pepper Handmade Pork Thick Cut Muffin Burger $370
＞ The big breakfast platter is quite generous! It comes with German sausage, fries, salad, and fruit. The pork chop has a strong pepper taste; the spiciness comes from the chili itself, offering a filling meal, though I personally didn't like it much. Upgrade to Set A for an additional $30 (you can choose a $60 drink or deduct $60 from any drink).

◽ Iced Mocha $160
＞ It looks like a latte, but the cocoa flavor is quite mild.

A pet-friendly café located between XinZhuang #HappinessStation and #Touqianzhuang. Inside, there are three super white and cute cats and a very friendly Golden Retriever! You can even bring your own pets. The café offers a variety of pet meals and accessories to choose from.

[Environment]
The café is located on the ground floor of a newly built community building. The seating area is on the second floor, with a bright and modern environment, perfect for cats to play around. While dining, you can see cats roaming around and interact with them, which is very therapeutic.

There aren't many seating areas, but most have power outlets, so it's totally fine to sit for a long time and use a computer.

The only downside is that their ventilation seems to have issues. Even though the kitchen is on the first floor, after sitting on the second floor for an afternoon, you leave with a strong smell of oil and smoke on your clothes.

It's recommended that the café should address the ventilation issue seriously, as it might not be very healthy for the cats and dogs to be in that environment 24/7.

[Service]
I rate the service highly! The two staff members were very nice, and you can tell they genuinely like cats and dogs from their interactions. One of the staff even introduced the dog to me and reminded me to be careful of catching a cold as it got cooler when I left. Very considerate!

[Food]
Most meals are served on large plates. I ordered a black pepper handmade pork patty muffin comprehensive breakfast platter. It included lettuce, tomatoes, sliced apples, and small oranges, along with two very crispy sausages. Delicious! The fries were thick-cut and fried, delightful when hot, and not overly greasy when cold.

The muffin burger's texture was somewhat ordinary, but the ingredients inside were solid, especially the large hand-made pork patty, aromatic, fresh, and juicy. The meat juices spread in the mouth with every bite, with no porky smell at all.

———

Overall, the service and food are both good, and the furry friends in the store are super cute. The staff is very friendly, but the lingering oil and smoke smell on me... Originally, I would rate the dining experience 4-5 stars, but the longer the smell stayed on me, the lower my score, haha.

I hope the café sees this review and improves their ventilation situation. 🙏
