About Cat Café MOFF Mallage Shobu
Opened in December 2023, Cat Café MOFF Mallage Shobu represents one of the newer additions to the MOFF chain, located on the third floor of Mallage Shobu shopping complex in Saitama. The cafe operates on a one-drink ordering system with ¥700 entry for 30 minutes, extending at ¥250 per 10 minutes thereafter, capped at ¥1,900 on weekdays and ¥2,900 on weekends. The spaciousness of this location is a defining characteristic—notably larger than many other MOFF branches, it provides an open, airy feel that allows both cats and visitors to spread throughout the space without crowding. The mall setting ensures convenient access for families and groups shopping in the area.
The cafe is home to approximately 30 cats representing diverse breeds including Siberian cats, Norwegian Forest Cats, Bengal cats, and multiple Scottish Fold and Ragamuffin residents. This variety means visitors encounter different sizes, coat types, temperaments, and energy levels throughout their visit. Each cat maintains its own preferred territory within the spacious layout, reducing stress and allowing natural behavior patterns to emerge. The generous square footage means that even when the cafe is busy, guests find secluded areas to relax, and the cats have numerous hideaways and elevated perches where they can retreat if desired. The cat-themed latte art adds a visual charm to the beverage experience, enhancing the sensory enjoyment of the visit.
Visitors frequently praise the Mallage Shobu location for its exceptional cleanliness and peaceful atmosphere. Unlike more cramped cafe environments, the spaciousness allows guests to spend extended time without feeling rushed or overstimulated—many reviewers report that hours pass unexpectedly as they lose themselves in observation and gentle interaction. The lack of time announcements means visitors self-manage their experience, though experienced guests recommend keeping personal track to avoid surprise overage charges. The affordable all-day maximum (¥1,900-2,900) makes extended visits economical, encouraging deeper engagement with the cats' individual personalities and routines.
