Cat Café MOFF Coaska Bayside Stores, which opened in April 2024, occupies the fifth floor of the waterfront Coaska Bayside Stores shopping complex in Yokosuka, creating a scenic seaside destination with exceptional accessibility via multiple train lines (Keikyu Line stations within 3-10 minute walk). The cafe operates with one-drink ordering at ¥700 for 30 minutes, extending at ¥250 per 10 minutes, with maximum daily rates of ¥1,900 (weekday) and ¥2,900 (weekend). The location houses approximately 25 cats across 15 distinct breeds, a carefully curated population that reflects the facility's emphasis on breed diversity and individual temperament management. Notably, this location has earned consistent international visitor praise for exceptional cat welfare standards, with international reviewers specifically noting the cats' visible health, contentment, and the obvious investment in proper care that distinguishes this facility from problematic pet cafes they have visited elsewhere.
The cats at Coaska display notably happy, engaged demeanor, freely interacting with guests and actively participating in the treat-giving experience via spoon-feeding system. The facility demonstrates exceptional attention to cat welfare through private retreat spaces accessible only to cats, ensuring they maintain control over their interaction levels and can withdraw from guest contact when desired. The design incorporates generous square footage within the waterfront setting, creating a light-filled, pleasant atmosphere that visitors describe as genuinely calming. Staff members are bilingual and accommodating to international visitors, and they actively facilitate treat-giving experiences that create engaging human-cat bonds. The latte art featuring individual cat faces adds visual appeal, and the optional cat-themed parfait (¥500) provides additional interactive elements. Reviews emphasize the remarkable health and cleanliness of both the facility and the resident cats, with one international visitor explicitly noting the lack of typical pet cafe odors and the obvious high standards of hygiene maintenance.
What distinguishes Coaska Bayside Stores within the MOFF network is the international recognition of exceptional ethical animal care standards. Visitors specifically compare this location favorably to other Japanese pet cafes with significant welfare concerns, and they identify Coaska as representing genuine commitment to cat welfare as a core operational principle rather than secondary concern. The waterfront location combined with English-friendly staff, excellent facility design, and demonstrably healthy, engaged cats makes this destination particularly appealing for international visitors and those prioritizing animal welfare. The moderate pricing combined with exceptional care standards creates compelling value, justifying the slightly higher entry cost through superior cat health and staff expertise.
