Monster A Garden is a quaint little cat cafe, a short 7-minute walk from Pasar Seni MRT station. Opened in October 2022, the cafe started as a pet-friendly cafe with monsteras all about the place, hence its name.
Now, the cafe has become home to fluffy felines running about, curiously sniffing each new patron that comes.

The cosy cafe has a minimalist vibe with plants hanging off shelves and windows. The layout allows the cats to run around freely and ensure each patron has space to interact with them.
There is no entrance fee, but each person visiting the cafe is required to order at least one item from the menu.

This cafe also has a few ground rules, all of which are asking guests to respect and be gentle with the cats. Cats are animals that love their space and will let you know when they want pets and chin scratches. So, if you’re planning to visit, be sure to read the rules and maintain a calm and respectful demeanor with the cats.
