Mistu Café — Restaurant in Mexico City

Small cat cafe in the historic center of the city. If you’re on the street and can’t find the cafe, look up and you’ll see Mistu Cafe written on a window on the second floor and accessed via the escalator inside a mall. I would recommend that the owner remove some of the merchandise for sale to make space for the cats to access the ledge and shelves around the walls of the cafe. There are tons of cat related plushies, stickers, clothing, cat toys, etc for purchase. None seem to be handmade and mostly from overseas manufacturers. The cats are mostly on the floor and will often nap in any empty chairs or hang out in the “Cat Zone”. They could benefit from having some shelf space to nap and avoid the busy floor. This way they’re more visible as well. It can be hard to spot them in between all the people sitting down. The food and drinks take some time to come out, and service can be a bit cold and unwelcoming at times. It is evident that this place is very popular, and as a result, the staff may feel overwhelmed. If you want to come here, beware of the long wait times and limited space.

On to the good! The panes a vapor or steamed buns are super cute and yummy! They are shaped like cats and have cute faces. Many of the drinks are served with a decoration, whether it’s latte art or paw shaped candy or other edible decor. My smoothie sadly did not have any cute decor. The hot lattes did have cats drawn on them. You can order whole, skim, or almond milk for your drinks. There are cat toys for you to use with the cats. You must wash your hands upon entry and sanitize with the provided spray every time you touch a cat. You can also buy different types of cat treats at the counter to feed the cats. If you buy a Churu treat, they will definitely ambush you and come running to wherever you are. All the cats are available for adoption, and you can also volunteer to work at the cafe. Note that the time limit is an hour per table. Overall it is a very cute place to interact with cats if you have the time to wait...

Its was amazing! If you love cats you MUST come here! You get the best: coffee (a really good one), tons of delicious food and of course the love of all the cats and kitties!

Service is great! They take care of the cats so good! So you better follow the rules!

*Google maps its a little tricky with the location. But here is how you will find it with no problem: the shop its inside a plaza named “Pasaje Capital”, so you have to go inside, go up stairs -2nd floor- and the café will be right behind you).

The best part is that you can adopt any of the cats in there! All of them are so nice, friendly and lovely! They will give you a lots of cuddles!

The place its super clean and spacious! You will have access to all. There is everything you imagine about cats, all the souvenirs and thing for cats 💜

We spend a lot of time in there just enjoying the place and the...

Es una cafetería y refugio de gatitos al mismo tiempo. Tienen un menú fijo y otro que cambia de acuerdo a la temporada, fui a probar el menú del terror con unos espectaculares gnocchis de calabaza, y un hot dog de salchicha rusa buenísimos. Pedimos el michi plato para compartir que son alitas, unos panecitos rellenos de Filadelfia y palitos de verduras con el aderezo de tu preferencia. De postre pedí un afogato, el café que trabajan tiene un aroma espectacular y una acidez muy buena, las tizanas también están muy ricas. Todos los alimentos los preparan al momento, pero en lo que esperas puedes tomar un juguete para interactuar con los gatitos que viven ahí o curiosear entre los muchos artículos que tienen a la venta. Tienen un protocolo y reglamento de convivencia con los gatitos, y es importante seguirlo para evitar que se estresen demasiado. Sin embargo, todos los gatos son muy amistosos y sociales, los más pequeños son más curiosos y se acercan con mucha más facilidad, solo es cuestión de paciencia para que se dejen cargar y/o acariciar. Todos los michis que viven ahí, están en adopción; por lo que si algún gatito te interesa adoptar, le preguntas a las personas que atienden el lugar para que te expliquen el protocolo. Además todos los consumos y artículos que compren se usan para poder rescatar más gatitos en situaciones difíciles y darles una mejor vida. Todas las personas son muy amables, es un ambiente completamente familiar. Nosotros fuimos por la tarde y entre semana por lo que no había mucha gente, probablemente el fin de semana sea más ajetreado. El acceso es fácil, incluso saliendo de la plaza donde se ubica se ve la catedral del zócalo de la CDMX. Mi experiencia fue muy agradable, y estoy planeado regresar con una amiga...
