Mouse café · Est. 2023

Coffee, cheese & very small friends.

Like a cat café, but quieter. Sip a flat white, nibble a scone, and spend an hour with twelve curious, well-loved resident mice in our purpose-built Mouse Lounge.

Meet the residents

All of our mice are fancy mice bred as pets. They live together in a large, enriched habitat and choose for themselves when to come out and say hello.

First to greet every guest. Will climb into your sleeve if you let her. Strong opinions about sunflower seeds.

Gouda

Wheel Enthusiast · 2 yrs

Has run an estimated 4,000 km on his wheel. Mostly at night. Mostly when you're trying to read.

Our youngest. Shy at first, endlessly curious once she warms up. Currently mapping every tunnel in the Lounge.

  • If a mouse goes into a tunnel, that means "not today". Respect the tunnel.
