Felissimo Cat Club × nicocafe Collab Cafe: the Purrfect Place to Relax! [Photo Report]

Calling all cat lovers! The Felissimo Cat Club × nicocafe Collab Cafe is now open for business - but only until Feb. 28! Located in the headquarters of popular Japanese video service Niconico, it brings together three of our favorite things in the entire world - cats, collabs and cafes (=^･ω･^=)

Felissimo is an online mail order service providing a huge range of goods, but perhaps their most popular (and adorable) side is their Cat Club, the ultimate cat lover’s site! They’ve teamed up with Niconico for a wonderfully unique collaboration featuring the Cat Club’s cast of kitties and official Niconico mascot niconico TV chan.

This cafe’s relaxed setting and cat-covered decor made us feel right at home. After ordering, we couldn't stop looking around the entire place, which was covered with amazing illustrations by manga artist and cat lover Yamano Rinrin. Her Cat Club comics were also displayed on wall screens for everyone to read and enjoy!

In addition, you might see slideshows of real cats sent in to Felissimo by their loving owners, as well as some cartoon ones lounging around on the wall.

After we managed to tear our eyes away, we realized that our food had arrived. So, we started off our meal with this sleepy little kitty on omelette rice! Its filling of chicken, peas, tomato sauce and rice under a layer of egg made it a satisfying main dish.

Moving on to these adorable pancakes, approximately one second after realizing that its paws were marshmallows we proceeded to squish away, because who needs a reason to play with squishy paw marshmallows?!

Our food was also accompanied by equally attractive drinks - a refreshing pink grapefruit lemonade topped with pawsome gummies and a latte housing a very large meowshmallow.

We were ecstatic to find out that each food and drink item ordered also comes with Felissimo Cat Club × nicocafe-exclusive souvenir placemats and coasters!

Having satisfied our bellies, we headed outside to commemorate our visit to this kitty-lover’s heaven! Visitors are encouraged to pull on a pair of fluffy ears and take a photo with the Cat Club’s cast of feline friends, once again illustrated by cat manga extraordinaire Yamano Rinrin.

Finally, we found our way to the Nico Nico shop, where a range of collab goods were just begging us to be taken home.

It may be Felissimo’s first time running a collab like this, but the pawsome menu and adorable decor is sure to have cat lovers clamoring for another round! For more cute kitty goodness, simply check our full album below!
