DO NOT COME HERE ANIMALS MISTREATED ‼️⚠️ PLEASE READ REVIEWS
Came here expecting a nice cafe but was really put off to find animals on display, including a snake and a rabbit kept in small cages. It was really sad to see and completely unnecessary. The rabbit looked super depressed, very hot and had no hay - just made me feel so uncomfortable and so sorry for all the animals here.
I don’t think animals should be used like this, especially in a cafe. Made me want to leave straight away. Wouldn’t recommend supporting a place that treats animals like decor.
Plenty of better cafes in Hoi An that don’t do this. DO NOT COME HERE ‼️‼️⚠️⚠️
In response to the owner’s comments on this post:
Why does the snake have no substrate and is just sitting on metal bars? Why does the rabbit have no substrate/ bedding and no access to hay which is essential to its dental and gut health? Why does the rabbit have no cooling systems - we had to place a fan near it when we were there as the poor thing was very visibly overheated! Why do none of the animals have no enrichment in their cages with the exception of a single wooden log for the iguana! I can see that previous reviews have referred to there being no enrichment. Why have you not acted on this? Find it very telling for the owner to refer to the animals as ‘toys’. Why is there another review about a rabbit chewing on plastic and that rabbit appears to no longer be there? Looking through other reviews it is clear many other people have noticed neglect and why as an animal lover myself do I feel so saddened to see all these animals in your ‘care’. Also find it very interesting that’s suddenly after I posted this review you suddenly got many 5 star rates all at once - when previously the reviews had been sparse! And looking through other reviews it is undeniable that many people feel the same about this...

Read moreI saw some 1-star reviews saying that Tropical mistreats animals, and I honestly feel that’s unfair. I’ve visited the café several times and my experience has been the complete opposite. The animals — like parrots, snakes, rabbits — are well cared for. Their enclosures are clean, they are fed properly, let out to play regularly, and always supervised during interactions with guests.
Of course, keeping animals means having cages — that’s basic responsibility. If you let them roam freely all the time, they would naturally wander off. I once heard the owner share that the parrot here was abandoned by its previous owner. When it was first brought in, it was so stressed it had lost all its tail feathers. It took a long time and lots of love for it to recover.
Some visitors only stay for a few minutes or an hour — that’s not enough to truly understand the effort, care, and heart behind what’s being done here. In my opinion, this is a creative, thoughtful café concept, especially valuable for families with kids. Definitely...
