What can make your trip to the coffee shop a little sweeter? Maybe seeing a baby hedgehog! All around the world there are animal cafes where customers can enjoy a cup of coffee while also enjoying their time in the company of an animal companion. Here are a couple unique animal cafes around the world that are perfect for animal lovers!

Harry Hedgehog Cafe

Located in Tokyo, Japan, the Harry Hedgehog Cafe allows you to enjoy the company of cute, little hedgehogs. However, this cafe is very popular with lines often leading outside the door, but don’t let that deter you! You can reserve a seat online ahead of time to cut the wait time.

Reptile Cafe

Japan offers a variety of animal cafes, one of them being reptile cafes. Customers can walk into cafes filled with a wide range of reptile species from snakes to lizards to tortoises, and can either observe them from behind glass or interact with them at their own risk. However, since reptiles can easily get stressed out, make sure to handle them carefully!

Racoon Cafe

In Seoul’s Racoon Cafe, customers can enjoy their drink while also playing with racoons, who even have their own jungle gym. When customers first arrive, they are required to take off their shoes and don slippers. In addition, they must lock their belongings in a locker. After that, it’s racoon time!

Thanks Nature Cafe

The first sheep cafe, Thanks Nature Cafe, located in Seoul, is the perfect destination for sheep lovers! The cafe first rose to popularity during the Year of the Sheep in 2015. The mascots of Thanks Nature Cafe are two sheep, named Honey and Sugar, that customers can feed straw to or even pet! The cafe has a natural feel, with plants as decorations outside the cafe and little sheep figurines along the tables.

The Fukuro Sabo Owl Cafe

Unlike your conventional four-legged animal cafe, this unique cafe allows customers to see owls of all different species. At the Fukuro Sabo Owl Cafe, customers can enjoy their time taking pictures of owls or even holding them for an additional cost. So if you’re looking for an alternative to your typical dog or cat cafe, you’ll have a great time at this owl cafe!

Animal cafes are a great way to combine your love for coffee and animals. If you’re an avid animal lover, these are the purr-fect go to cafes. However, remember to treat them with love and respect!
