For the uninitiated, Maine Coons are known to be extremely furry, with their signature tufted ears and paws. Don’t let their size intimidate you – these gentle giants have an affectionate and sweet personality. Perfect if you’ve got kiddos who long to cuddle with cats.

For $6.90/20 minutes or $16.90/hour, you’ll have the honour chance to cuddle and play with the kitties. There’s an array of toys provided, including cat wands and tiny stuffed toys. You won’t have to coax these cats to interact with you; they’re known to be hooman-friendly and very playful.

Don’t forget to give them some chin rubs and head scratches too. And of course, snap a dozen selfies with these four-legged cuties. Do note that these cats have a daily designated nap time from 2pm-4pm, and cat petting activities will not be available during these hours.

Right next door is where you’ll find fuel for humans. The Caffeine Experience serves fragrant brews, including the rich Mocha Coco ($7.50), aromatic Single Origin Brazil ($6), and White Coffee ($5.50) for those who need a mean caffeine kick.
They also have an extensive food menu to purr-use. There’s the Big Breakfast ($15.40) that comes with sunny side up eggs and turkey bacon, the Truffle Beef Burger ($14.30), and the hearty Shakshouka Chorizo ($13.70) that’s great for sharing with a pal.

Sweet tooths will be glad to know that they also carry treats from the famed Keong Siak Bakery. Yam lovers should try the Orh Nee Tart ($9.20), and if you’re a fan of all things caramel, the Toffee Pecan Cake ($8.50) will satiate your cravings. But if you were to ask us, the Matcha Burnt Cheese Cruffin ($6.80) is to die for.
If you’re ever in the Buona Vista area, pop by The Caffeine Experience for some neko lovin’. Heck, even if you aren’t travelling to the West, these precious furbabies make the journey over worth it. And fun fact: the place not only serves good vibes, but they’re also doing good by employing ex-offenders!
