The café boasts whimsical artwork and a picturesque setting, making it a perfect escape from the bustling city. Customers rave about the cleanliness and the well-cared-for cats who wander freely, providing comfort and companionship. As one patron, Zareen Hyder, beautifully summed up: "The restaurant is so vibrant and cozy... a good way to destress."

Chico Cafe tantalizes your taste buds with a carefully crafted menu featuring signature dishes like their Omurice (オムライス) and the scrumptious Jumbo Honey Toast with Ice Cream. The Omurice, a nostalgic Japanese comfort food, is made with perfectly cooked rice, fresh vegetables, and perfectly seasoned sausage, all enveloped in a luscious omelet and drizzled with the café's secret tomato sauce. At just THB 200, it’s a hearty dish that promises to fill your belly and warm your heart.

For something sweet, the Jumbo Honey Toast is a must-try. This delight features a thick slice of bread that has been toasted to perfection, melding rich butter with the golden sweetness of honey. Topped generously with creamy ice cream, it creates a textural symphony of crispy and soft, a true indulgence loved by many, including the enthusiastic reviewer, peanut, who exclaimed, "This is such a great super awesome sauce gold find!"

The café's atmosphere is further enhanced by the friendly staff who are eager to help, and the delightful cats who add a playful ambiance.

This place is so beautiful! The restaurant is so vibrant and cozy, with beautiful drawings and decor. The cats are sooooo cute and friendly, it’s a good way to destress. 20 baht for 15 mins. I loved the food too: I had the ramen, vanilla milkshake and chocolate and banana waffles, all of them were very delicious!

i went to this café twice and the food and shop are very cute! the shop itself has some very nice things, i bought lots of souvenirs, which were well-priced, and also some more expensive jewelry from the vitrine. the café part is really good, had the matcha and waffle, which were delicious and the details are also adorable! the big black cat is also very cute and friendly. however the room where the siamese cats are was a bit disappointing. it is reasonably priced (i think 20 baht for 15 minutes), however the room was very small and smelly, which is why i felt bad for the cats (who also seemed to be overbred because of their crossed eyes). they also seemed to be a bit sick, some kind of eye infection which may be because of air conditioning or unhygienic standards.

The cats are so friendly and clearly well taken care of. There is no bad smell that tends to come with cat cafes, it is clean and fun. The location is hard to get to without a motorbike or car but so worth it. The price for 15 minutes with the Siamese cats is 30 baht which is very reasonable when you realise how interactive they are. The drinks are great with cute cat art.

I visited this Japanese style cat café last November and it was a dream come true. For many years I wanted to go visit Thailand which is the original home of the Siamese cat. I did some research and I’m so glad I found out about Chico cat café in Bangkok. The workers there are very friendly and they have such a very beautiful café where you can get wonderful souvenirs, enjoy delicious food and have very incredibly cute designs on their drinks. I love the environment and I was so thankful to be there. So Kawaii!

Truely hidden gem even just the cafe itself, very peaceful plus all the cats! Pancake is just ok, will try the omu rice next time. Only 20 bath extra fee for the 9 cats zone.

A cafe with a crafts store with a dedicated "cat house". Some food offerred too, quite tasty. Well-sourced coffee and tea too. There are some cats in the cafe area where you can play with and buy treats for, pretty friendly for cats. You can also pay extra for fun times in the cat house, currently hosting close to 10 classic Thai kitties.

Super cozy and sweet place. First floor is a coffee house… had a tasty ice tea. Second floor is a beautiful store, cat themed accessories, clothes and home decor. When I arrived there were plenty of free spots. Place is super clean, no weird smells, every corner has a personal touch. Could have stayed many more hrs… Owner is Japanese woman that it’s obvious that cats are close to her heart. Store also offers many cool items for cat owners. I loved it!!! This is definitely a must spot for every cat lover and cat mum& dads out there. Highly recommend, 10/10.
