Katzentempel Bochum in Bochum

A really great concept! Delicious vegan food, very creamy cappuccino! 🌱 The service was extremely friendly and the cats were really cute and sometimes very approachable! 🐱 A great experience 🥰

We were there for the first time today and the food was super friendly and delicious. We'll be coming by more often now

Even though we were there on a Sunday and a public holiday, we were greeted and treated in a very friendly manner. The food was delicious and a cat came over to play.

There are six cats in total in the employee handbook, three on duty and three on rest. The cats ignored me. Maybe next time I will put some catnip in my pants pocket. Well, by the way, the food and coffee taste good.

A restaurant where I like to go. The cats are friendly there. Scholli in particular is very affectionate and jumps on my lap every time I visit. This is also because he already knows me from frequent visits. The food is surprisingly delicious considering it is vegan. The staff is friendly. The cat temple is just a stone's throw from Bochum main train station. Highly recommended.

The food here is awful except for the fries. The service is ok but the man kept starring at us for no reason. The cats were asleep and didn't even move Absolutely disappointing Don't come here I don't recommend

I am evaluating from the perspective of a person who neither particularly likes cats nor lives vegan and was here as a companion. The staff is friendly, the store is big enough (bigger than first thought) and you can sit very comfortably. The food is good, I had one of the burgers and although you can be lucky or unlucky with vegan patties, it was fine. Instead of salad, however, I would welcome fries as a standard side dish. There were 6 cats in total in this store at the time of our visit. I have no idea what the regulations are for something like that or whether there was a specific reason for it, but subjectively it wasn't enough for the size of the store. There are always a few animals in a corner, sleeping or in their private spaces and that's just right! Still, I felt it was a bit small for that to be the main reason for entering this store. The prices are high, in my opinion because a lot goes into caring for the animals and that's exactly right. One or two more animals probably would have been nice. The more life there is, the better. I wouldn't come back alone, just for the food or on my own initiative, but cat lovers are certainly well advised to visit!

Great cafe! Animals are kept in a species-appropriate manner and really tasty drinks and food What's been there four times :)

A great place with great animals and great staff. The food is soooo delicious and vegan. We can really recommend it.

The best fries in the world🥰 We'll be happy to come back. 🫶🏼❤️ I can also highly recommend the app 😊.

The cats are so great, that alone makes it worth it! The food isn't great, the bun on the burger is way too sweet in my opinion and pretty small for the price. But the banana bread tasted very good. Unfortunately the toilet is terrible.

Although the food isn't quite my taste (that doesn't mean it's bad), I really like this place. It is a special concept that is also in a very central location in Bochum with many shops right next door. His crazy idea: cats running around in the restaurant. But I think the idea is great, the cats are also very friendly.

Too few cats 🐈🐱 otherwise great idea

The atmosphere was very calm and inviting. The food was tasty, everything was very clean and I would recommend everyone to come and dine near cats! The service left nothing to be desired and you can tell that the cats are doing well.

such a beautiful place to eat. The cats and the staff were very friendly.

Here you can eat like in heaven. What's particularly great is that the cats' needs are respected here.

Fries and a burger—you can't go wrong with that. It was delicious. The cats completely ignored us, but ours often do that too, so it's all good 😀

I can only recommend it. Pleasant atmosphere. The cats are spread throughout the café. Soooooo relaxed, you immediately come down and enjoy the pleasant company.

Pleasant stay, delicious food, very good service, parking garage nearby - plus the nice cats :-) recommended.

Highly recommended. It tastes very good and the price-performance ratio is also very good. Nothing is overpriced and everything is fresh and clean.

This restaurant is definitely recommended for cat lovers, as the free-roaming cats there are very sweet, curious and trusting. For the cats it is a climbing paradise. The food is purely vegan and therefore takes some getting used to for me personally!

We were at a meeting at the Katzentempel and had specially ordered it in writing with an open end, as some of us had come very far. After we were finally able to order and eat. The question was immediately asked as to when we could release the table because it was needed. But since we had previously asked the waitress whether it was really ok that we could stay longer, and this was confirmed. It was more like being thrown out, which really dampened the good mood. But the food was good, the first service also made an effort. But the last one who cashed in was a bit outrageous. The cats are very trusting and visit every table. The cloak is also very narrow, so you can hardly sit down. Getting up afterwards becomes an adventure. Not wheelchair accessible In the end, we left the restaurant in a mixed mood and also annoyed. But the food was good, the cats are great, the service was good, there was a parking garage just around the corner, hence the score. But don't forgive open end if you throw someone out after 2 hours.

Super delicious food, super nice staff and the cats are well looked after and so cute.

Delicious vegan food. Both sweet in the form of cakes. As well as spicy in the form of sandwiches or burgers. Nice bright atmosphere and of course the cats. If they feel like it, they can also make one out of it. Or just come over for a quick cuddle. But if that's what you want. But that's ok too. In addition, the service at the Cat Temple is always friendly.

I always enjoy being here. Of course it's not very interesting for the cats, but I see it more as a gimmick, primarily there is really delicious vegan food here. I've always found the bowls, burgers and sandwiches as well as the desserts to be very good. The service is very nice and quick and I'm also happy to tell you more about the furry friends. The prices are quite steep, but since you also pay for the animals, I think that's completely reasonable. :)

Very tasty vegan food, well seasoned in the company of cats, very cute :)

Even delivered just a dream ☺️. It's always a pleasure!

2nd and final attempt to eat at the Cat Temple. The first time the fries were too hard, today they are too salty and not edible. I complained immediately but didn't get anything else. As a vegan, I like to support purely vegan restaurants, but then it should also taste good.

My wife and I were in a restaurant today where six cats are running around and therefore live there. We are cat people ourselves and were thrilled with how it was set up there. The cats have the opportunity to climb and walk along the walls. Since this restaurant was very busy, I could only take a picture of the food. It's a vegan restaurant and I had a hard time deciding what I wanted to eat. I ate a tiger bowl and found it very tasty 😋. Of course I tested the toilets and they can be used without any problems. Conclusion : I think you can eat very well there 😋 and the cats 🐱 are a little surprise, but going there just because of the cats wouldn't be an argument for me, but the food would be. Highly recommended. 😊 😉 Everything tip top.

Everything delicious. Service unfortunately a bit inattentive and slow.

Nice location, with attentive service. The dishes on the bistro-style menu were quite expensive, but very tasty. And of course the cats are outstanding. Would come back at any time.

Always really worth a visit! Very, very nice service and really incredibly tasty food, whether sweet or savory. The restaurant is very warm and friendly and you can tell that the cats are doing well here. Absolute recommendation ♡

Eating with cats???? What sounds unusual at first quickly becomes a second living room. The nice staff and especially the 6 cats make it easy to love this restaurant. By the way, the food is good too!

Meine Frau und Ich waren sehr beeindruckt von dieser Atmosphäre, auch die Katzen dort sind sehr im Auge der Mitarbeiter. Das Essen einfach klasse, sehr freundlich Personal und umsorgt. Kommen wieder 🐈 10 Sterne

Simply great, very good food, great staff and the cats were the focus 🐈😁 we'll be back

The main meal (burger with fries) was tasty, but the carrot cake was very dry, even though it was advertised as “juicy”. I don't understand what raisins are doing in a carrot cake either. The white chocolate mousse was also very poor with a few dollops. And the whole thing for just under €8 is quite expensive... The cats were very cute and could also be fed at “treat time”. They were asleep most of the time, so they shouldn't be disturbed.

The team was in a good mood despite the table being full, the food and drinks interesting and tasty....gladly again!

Very nice cat café with a completely vegan menu. The food is really delicious and of consistently good quality. The bread used for the sandwiches is simply delicious! The fries are also great. You can also have a great and relaxed breakfast here. Really everything is delicious. The cats are very sweet and care is taken to keep them in a species-appropriate, careful manner. The animals always have a place to retreat and I see again and again how much the team ensures that the cats are handled carefully. The service has gotten better over time. I only heard comments from the employees a few times that I didn't find very nice. Once a guest came in who had probably never been there before and asked if there was an entrance fee, whereupon an older employee (the boss?) told the guest quite brusquely, "This is a restaurant and not a zoo." I found that a bit unfriendly - you can't know beforehand how the concept is structured. Some gaming cafés, for example, charge a table fee. You should be a little more gentle with people who have never been to a café like that. But people were always nice to us. Every now and then the employees come by and give the guests treats so that they can interact with the cats. You can pay in cash and by card. I definitely recommend a visit!

The food was delicious, the cats were cuddly and the service was very friendly! I can recommend it Mmmmm burgr

Thank you very much for the lovely afternoon with you. We felt very welcomed and the food was great. We wish you continued success. We'd love to come back.

Wurden super nett empfangen, freundlich bedient und unser Essen hat sehr gut geschmeckt. War ein toller Besuch beim Katzentempel. Die Katzen haben in ihren Körben geschlafen, aber ist ja auch deren Recht. Finde es gut, dass die Interaktion von den Katzen ausgeht. Sind halt keine Spielzeuge sondern Lebewesen. War schön bei euch 🫶

I found out about this café through social media and immediately told my fiancé we had to go here! Reservation online worked really well and we were really looking forward to this day all week. Today was finally the day!! And we definitely weren't disappointed!!!!! The service was super nice and friendly and not intrusive like you would otherwise find in other restaurants... The food, a 10 out of 10! We ate vegan for the first time today and it was simply delicious! The cats were a bit reserved today, but that's completely okay, we did see one or two cats 🥰 thank you for this unforgettable, lovely stay with you!!!!! As of today you have gained 2 new customers ❤️😺😻

Great concept, nice people, delicious food :)

Just the thing for cat lovers and everyone who likes a cool ambience. The service is friendly and relaxed, you feel very comfortable. The food tastes great and there is also something for non-vegans. The good food is sweetened by the fluffy four-legged friends who keep you company 🐈 All in all, we'd love to come back :)

The “Katzentempel” restaurant offers a great atmosphere with very friendly staff and fast service. The food was also very tasty! The cats are just cute - it's fun to watch them as they move around freely. At the same time, the cats have plenty of places to retreat when they need some peace and quiet. An all around lovely visit!

Lots of great cars. Insider tip: shopping bag. Every cat was with me.

Wir waren mit unserem 6-jährigen Kind dort. Sie wollte mit der Katze spielen, nahm ein Katzenspielzeug und bewegte es vor der Katze hin und her. Die Kellnerinnen beobachteten sie die ganze Zeit mit einem durchdringenden Blick, als ob sie der Katze gleich den Hals umdrehen würde. Schließlich kamen sie zu uns und sagten, dass die Katze nicht spielen wolle und dass das niemandem gefallen würde – als ob unser Kind etwas Schlimmes getan hätte. Sehr unangenehme und unfreundliche Kellnerinnen, die Kinder ständig im Auge behalten. Aber alte Damen nehmen die Katzen ständig auf den Arm, und niemand sagt ihnen etwas. Der einzige Pluspunkt: Das Essen war lecker.

Very relaxed atmosphere and very tasty food

I felt very comfortable. The food was delicious, the cats were totally relaxed and the atmosphere was totally pleasant. The employees are very friendly. I'd love to come back!

Super delicious food and very nice company 🤗

Very nice location. I think the menu is great and the vegan food selection is also very creative and delicious. The cats are really nice and I felt very comfortable as a visitor.

What are the tables behind the shielded glass panes supposed to do? It makes you feel like an outcast. No cats come there either. Outrageous.

The best are the cats. People with functioning taste buds shouldn't go there for the food. You really have to want a vegan diet, you certainly don't do it for pleasure. Hygiene concept probably exists, but is very generous. The worst is the staff. DeHoGa could make a “not like that” instructional video. Unfriendly, rude, arrogant, dissatisfied with the overall situation and letting it out unfiltered. You're really looking forward to the time when operating robots will be ready for series production and, based on the other reviews, you're reassured that it's obviously not your fault. Tip: If you hate people, don't go to the restaurant.

Just a great place. Great concept, great food, great atmosphere!

The cats are very nice and trusting, the staff is really friendly, and the atmosphere is great too

Really a great location and the main actors were of course magical. The food came quickly and tasted excellent.

A cozy, vegan restaurant where cats run around freely. The food is very good and creative. I had the Cheshire Cat burger with fries and salad. This was well made and the fries were also tasty and have a special shape. The food was also prepared quickly. The restaurant is clean. The price is a little higher but it's worth it. We were completely satisfied and would love to come back. Therefore a clear recommendation

Very friendly and respectful staff! They also speak English if we need. Feels safe and comfortable and can spend mindlessly here!

Great place with great staff and great food! Really good! Of course, the cats are still the highlight. 😊

It's really damn beautiful Great service, very kind, open and attentive It's also a great price-performance ratio when you look at the animals, the surroundings and the food And the food was all vegan and the citizens were so incredibly good, they rarely ate something so delicious, the animals here are in top condition, absolutely relaxed and you can see that they are treated well here, the rules are simple and easy to follow, even for their own good of the animals The drinks are just as delicious and everything is great Estonian Definitely worth 5/5 stars and definitely worth further visits

Everything's great, sometimes you have to wait a little longer when it's busy. Food was great. Recommend chilli con fries. Maybe a slightly larger selection of gluten free dishes.

We happened to be there and had a quick drink. Nice shop with very nice staff!

Great every time! I really enjoy going to the Cat Temple. Vegan food and watching or cuddling cats, what could be better? The food is great every time. Taste is A1 and good portions. Dessert is a must.

The cats are very sweet and trusting, you can pet them easily 🥰 The food was ready unusually quickly and the service ladies were always friendly and nice. We ordered tiramisu and unfortunately I have to admit that it was very dry. Unfortunately the price-performance ratio doesn't suit me. Otherwise a very nice atmosphere, but you have to make an appointment in advance as it is often full and fully booked.

First of all, I can't say a bad word about the staff. I ordered a chai latte and a carrot cake. An hour later the cake arrived, after other customers who entered the restaurant after us had already received their food. Cake came differently than described. The cats were really cute though. However, I'm never coming back.

One sentence: kitchen chaotic and hardly any cats. It's actually a shame because the concept is great, but there are too few house cats. There would be more if you wanted. In the kitchen, dirty food also piled up in areas where hygiene is important. Why tray carts aren't used is a mystery to me. Because then it would be possible to separate dirty dishes and hygiene areas would also be there. I didn't think the food was bad at all, but we had to wait almost 40 minutes for it. A little tip, because I have experience in gastronomy, in which case a guest gets a free drink. But waiting 40 minutes for fast food in healthy is a no go, the service staff can be as friendly as they want, which they were. Few house cats, chaotic and unhygienic kitchen processes, undisputable waiting times and the not exactly cheap food, that can only give one star.

A lovely place with delicious veggie food, non-alcoholic drinks and of course lots of cute cats. 😊 The service was sometimes a bit overwhelmed, but it was really busy. I will definitely come back and maybe it will be enough for the last star.

Great restaurant for cat lovers and very tasty food

Delicious vegan food in the company of cats - what more could you want? Always my pleasure! 🥰😋

The rooms are sometimes narrow but pleasantly designed. There is a good mix of small and larger seating areas. The cats have plenty of places to sit and lie down, and they mostly seem to feel comfortable. The toilets, on the other hand, are really catastrophic, not always clean and absolutely uncomfortable... The food is delicious and varied, the waitresses are very friendly, but sometimes there are waiting times when there is a lot going on. The prices are sometimes steep.

The place is easy to find and the location is very central, surrounded by other shops and in the middle of a walking promenade. The staff is very cheerful, kind and always within reach. The coffee arrived in 5 minutes, food arrived within 20 minutes. The quality and portions are more than fair, however, the food we had was a little dry, maybe we should have asked for more sauce, so dont let that stop you from trying their food. There was a board game available to play during your visit and the staff gave us cat treats that we were allowed to give the cats. The cats were very calm and lovable! So that was just a huge plus.

The food and drinks were delicious and all the cats were sweet and nice

We've been to a few cat cafes, but we've never seen so few cats as here. The food was quite nice, but it was far too big, too lively, and far too many tables, so that the few cats spent the entire time lying on the walls and you could only look at them from below. The cat cafe in Bielefeld e.g. B. is much smaller, and the cats run around a lot more and are much more friendly. In another cat cafe there were only tables along the walls and the space in the middle was completely free with tunnels and toys for the cats and you could just sit with them. This 'cat temple' is apparently more about maximum profit, and as a restaurant it was quite nice, but you shouldn't call something like that a cat cafe, otherwise disappointment is inevitable.

The "dumpling mess" was super tasty and so were the burgers... Our favorite restaurant in Bochum

Meine Schwiegermutter ist inzwischen schon fast 80 und hat ihr Leben lang Katzen gehabt. Leider ist die letzte Katze nun verstorben und sie möchte keine neue mehr haben. Zu ihrem Geburtstag haben wir uns im Katzentempel getroffen mit der ganzen Familie. Sie hat die Zeit mit den Tieren sehr genossen und wir werden bestimmt nochmal kommen. Das Essen war sehr gut und das Service-Team sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Uns wurden viele Fragen beantwortet und auch einiges zu den Katzen erzählt. Wir freuen uns darüber dass es den Katzentempel gibt und auf unseren nächsten Besuch. Der einzige kleine Minuspunkt ist dass es nicht ganz Barrierefrei ist. Wer schlecht laufen kann hat Schwierigkeiten mit dem erreichen der Sanitären Anlagen und einigen Tischen.

Depending on the staff, very unfriendly. You can tell that some of the dishes are vegan. Unfortunately, cats rarely come to you

I still have to munch my way through food. What I have observed is that the cats are treated very kindly by the staff and great care is taken to ensure that the guests do the same and adhere to the cat rules. This is also very important. The cats are all adorable😼😻😽 🥰 The coffee specialties ☕🥛🍯 are very tasty and cakes too. I will go there more often now. It's worth it 👍

At first I was skeptical because I often don't like vegan meat alternatives. I approached this experience with an open mind, and I have to say, the food tasted really good! One of the best burgers of my life!

I was really excited about our first visit. The service staff is totally friendly and always concerned about the well-being of the cats... unfortunately not all of the guests have to leave, thank God... very nice rooms with plenty of space for cats and people to move around and the vegan food is great... Chili sin carne with fries was great... big compliments to all the staff and cuddles Hulle, this wonderful, patient and cuddly cat... Greetings Iris Bunke

Great food and the cats are a nice add on.

Friendly staff and delicious food and drinks!

10/10 Food and cats are so cute.

I was there in the morning and watched a sleeping cat having breakfast. I enjoyed it very much. It slows you down and is good for the soul.

Very tasty food. Friendly and attentive staff. The cats there are of course an eye-catcher. We'll definitely be back.

Nice cafe near the train station. What's special: 'Aristocats' in the café; i.e. some cats running around between the tables and on the ceiling or walls. No alcohol is served, but there are very tasty drinks to choose from, such as smoothies, shakes, coffee specialties and snacks.

Always a good atmosphere with 5 very happy cats who roam the local at theirnown pace with lots of places to retreat. Great Coffee and Food! some of the best french fries you can get in Bochum! Very nice and professional staff. Always good for a coffeebreak or just good food!

Were there for the first time, we really liked it. Staff is friendly, food was very good especially the fries. I can only recommend it

Sweet and clean (!) shop with really cute cats. Of course, these are a bit over-petted and then like to keep to themselves. The food is vegan and very tasty. It just took a while for the food to arrive. Better reserve a table.

A great experience. Very nice service staff and a great atmosphere. If I'm in the area I'll definitely go again.

Super nice staff and the atmosphere is also super nice! It's just a lot of fun, whether alone or with friends, to eat there, pet the cats and chat with your friends. It's also relatively easy to get a seat there during the week and you can get your food quickly. However, this could be a little difficult at the weekend and you might have to wait a little longer for the food. Which isn't a bad thing, since you only have to wait 10-15 minutes at most (depending on how full it is, otherwise just 5-10 minutes). The food comes to the table warm and deliciously prepared and you feel comfortable and full afterwards!<3

Friendly staff and cats, delicious food and drinks.

Anyone who loves cats has come to the right place! The atmosphere is super nice and the cats also feel very comfortable. The food was delicious and the service was very friendly. I'll definitely be back! 🐱💕

These wonderful cats! Everything is better with cats! The veggie burgers are great. Clear recommendation.

Simply a great place, the cats have a lot of space to relax and let off steam here 😄 Burgers and "dumpling fries" were very tasty, then we couldn't resist the tiramiezu and the poppy seed cheesecake - everything was delicious, the service was friendly and the atmosphere was just really cozy with the best company 🐈🐱🐾

The woman was evil and unfriendly

Unfortunately I had too many expectations. The food and drinks were very expensive and of mediocre quality. Cats were hardly present there. The service is nice but everything takes a long time. The ambience is very bland and resembles a canteen. We wouldn't go there again.

Yesterday I was with friends at the Cat Temple in Bochum. I would like to mention a few points of criticism here: The quality of the cocoa is subterranean. He almost falls over because of his paleness; he hasn't even seen Cocoa from far away. The hot drink consists almost entirely of sugar - including the winter version with spices. It's so sweet that you can hardly drink it because it starts to burn your tongue. This works much, much better. Who should put the sugar bombs in them? Do they want to compete with McDonalds? Why not leave it up to the guest to decide how sweet they want it? Everything is vegan and healthy, and then this - bad instant goods that you can get in better quality in every supermarket. I would have liked to have another decaffeinated coffee, but the waitress told me that you could only have it Instant coffee would have. ??? In a cafe? Instant coffee? It doesn't work at all. (And certainly not when it comes to the prices: the winter spiced chocolate, normal coffee mug size for 5.40 euros.) Well, the French fries were almost too salty. The peppermint tea was so limp and meaningless - from the bag, the Darjeeling had seen better days - I think it's due to the storage, when nothing comes out of tea bags that can be called taste/aroma. You can ruin even the best tea if you always leave the container open and the aromas evaporate or the product is out of date. This is what happens when you don't train your employees properly. Yes, all temporary workers, I understand, but a little knowledge of the goods for the good of everyone would be urgently needed. Then the lovable cats couldn't get it out. Not a place where I would want to spend money on bad goods again. And I don't really care whether donations are made to any NGOs in Colombia. They claim to only use high quality herbal ingredients. I can't confirm. High quality looks different and tastes different too.

The ambience and service are ok, the cats are of course the highlight. To be honest, they are the only reason to visit the Cat Temple. Today we had, among other things: a normal cocoa and one with Christmas spices, both estimated to contain around 70% sugar. I only got halfway through my drink before unfortunately it became disgusting. It would be easy to reduce the sugar content and put a sugar dispenser on the table. And no, I have nothing against sugar, that's just by the way. The “balance” came from the fries, which were so salty that your tongue burned after 4-5 fries. Conclusion: I don't go there for the food or drinks. But I love cats ;-).

The location is in the middle of the city, so it's perfect to combine with a day of shopping. The café/restaurant is also nice and the staff are lovely. The restaurant is completely vegan and the food is delicious. The cats are the crowning highlight. A great visit. Greetings from the Baltic Sea 😁😽

My girlfriend and I went here for lunch and I didn't know if I would like it with all the cats. In the end I have to say that it's really funny to watch the cats running around and interacting. Food was very tasty. I tried the temple sandwich and although it was vegan chicken, it tasted very good. Service was great and helpful. It was a bit cold inside, but otherwise recommended
