Manx Cat Cafe

 Cat Café Trip: January 2024 As an avid cat lover and enthusiast, I always wanted to go to a cat café as I saw them around on social media, however, I never realized that we had our own hidden cat sanctuary in the heart of my hometown in Douglas, Isle of Man. This cat café is especially distinct as it highlights our own special breed from our Island - the Manx Cat, which is characterized by their lack of tails, making them unique as these cats are specifically born without a tail due to their genetics! The café hosts normal-tailed breeds as well, however, I do appreciate the pride towards our local cat breed, which is an added quirk to our eccentric island!  Before arriving at the café, a reservation has to be placed, as to not overwhelm the cats by overcrowding, and each person is allowed one complimentary drink, hot or cold, simply by booking a spot, which is very kind coming from this small business.

 Disney Trip: June 2025 During summer vacation, I went to Disneyworld in Florida, America to visit my older sister who was working there during her exchange year! It was especially exciting as we hadn't seen each other for over a year at that point as we had both moved away from home.

Before getting into the delicious food reviews, I would like to thank my older sister for giving us the opportunity to experience Disneyworld in the best way! Since she worked there, temporarily, we were able to get many discounts, and she was also able to introduce me to the snacks that were worth it!  Firstly, I need to mention that I have a massive sweet tooth, meaning all the foods I will be mentioning below are essentially desserts or other sweet treats, so if you are looki...

Artbox Cafe - Hello Kitty and Friends

Brighton Trip: March 2024 Artbox Cafe is a Brighton based establishment that specialize in different character themes within their shop and eatery - the storefront is a permanent residence, however they swap out the specific character focus every few years, from displaying BT21 characters, to Pusheen the Cat and many others.  As the cafe has now changed theme from my last visit, I will reminisce on my experience of seeing my favorite character being featured within the shop. Upon entering, I was met with an ice cream display and a coffee counter for those looking for a quick to-go bite, and there was also a merchandise counter, where they were selling mainly  Hello Kitty and some other Sanrio products, however, I was more interested in going upstairs to their main sit down cafe, so i could take my time and enjoy the scenery and appreciate the effort put into the theme.  When we were seated, they provided us with a cute menu reflecting the characters along side an equally ...
