Tokyo, Japan: Calico Cat Café

If you’re known as the crazy cat lady in your neighborhood, then a trip to the Calico Cat Café is definitely worth the visit.  For about $10 US, the café does more than just quench your thirst with a cup of tea.  It also allows cat lovers to bask in the comfort of its lounging felines.  From their gentle purring to the feel of their soft fur rubbing against your skin, the Calico Cat Café is a sanctuary that exudes the love for the animal from the moment its visitors walk through the door.

But if you value the company of the café’s cats, then its best you adhere to their body language as well.  Just like adults, they do not like to be abruptly woken up, and if they refuse to play with you then leave them alone. Cat cafes are a pretty big hit in Tokyo, and with them lurking around every corner of this coffee shop, only true fans of the feline are welcome.

San Diego, CA: Mochi Café

When you have a maid at your beck and call life can feel pretty sweet.  Well, at least that’s how it’s intended to feel at Mochi Café.  Bringing this culturally Japanese practice to San Diego, customers are made to feel like kings and queens while maids and butlers cater to their appetites while dancing, singing and playing games to keep them entertained.

At the Michi Café guests are more than welcomed to kick back and relax as a team of colorfully dressed servers satisfy their every need unlike any other café. So why settle for the typical hot coffee and with a slice of cake, when the Michi Café delightfully brings the Japanese culture across the globe just to make sure its customers are treated like royalty?

Even to this very day, the café continues to gyrate to the smooth sounds of R&B, the blues as well as rock hits flowing through its veins. And as the place where every star has to make an appearance at least once in his or her lifetime, you’ll never know who’ll come strolling through its doors.

Praised by the New York Times as a “Power house talent…” this is one café where you’ll want to purchase a ticket to reserve your spot in this dynamic music sanctuary.  The Café Wha? proves that not all of coffee houses are meant for whispering under an intimate setting because some are designed for you to rock out.

Tokyo, Japan: 100% Chocolate Café

Chocoholics, you have found your Graceland. The aroma of sweet, sweet cocoa fills every inch of this chocolate nirvana, from the walls filled with every chocolaty delight to the menu filled with drinks, desserts and treats. You’ll definitely get a sugar rush by the time you’re ready to leave. 

Enjoy a tour through the world's finest chocolates, 56 varieties in all, representing 17 countries and 22 different kinds of cacao beans. Look up while indulging and you'll notice the ceiling, cleverly designed to look like a bar of chocolate. It's a great place to visit, especially after a visit to the...
