The Sphynx Cafe in Korea is located in Cheonan Korea. Once you buy something from their little cafe, you can hang out with the cats and give them treats.
Cheonan-si is in Chungcheongnamdo which is on the western side of the country.

It was a late start and took the usual 80 to AK Plaza. After topping up my Tmoney card, of course.
I stopped at GS25 on the way to my bus stop and fell in love. The lady that worked there had brought her dog in. The best greeter I have ever seen. What a great job the little cutie did.

From there, I took line 1 to Cheonan. At the last stop, I ended up leaving my bag on the subway. FUN. I freaked out for a second and went to the closest person I saw and punched what I wanted to say into Papago (Google Chrome can translate it for you or you can download the app).
As the lady was bringing me to customer service, I calmed down because I forgot that I was in Korea. I waited for about 8 minutes and then my bag was returned to me. Since there are CCTVs everywhere, I realized that I’d probably get my stuff back.
After getting my bag back, I ended up walking to the Sphynx Cafe which was about 40 minutes away. Only because the girl I was meeting, Mckenzie, was running late and I didn’t mind cause it was a nice day. I also LOVE walking.
The Sphynx Cafe Menu:

The cafe was so appealing and enjoyable. You have to buy something off of the Sphynx Cafe menu in order to hang with the kitties. It’s worth it though. I got an iced tea and a chocolate chip cookie for ₩8,000.
Inside of the Sphynx Cafe in Korea:


We entered the room with the cats. I was in heaven. People were feeding the cats treats so I had to go and buy some too. The small packets were only KRW 1,000 (USD 1). I ended up buying three. LOL.
We ended up staying for an hour and a half; playing and hanging with the cuties. I only saw 15 kitties but some must have been hiding.

After leaving the Sphynx Cafe, I was starving and wanted to try these two places that I had heard so much about on Facebook. I stopped at Camp Humphreys and went to Sam’s Sushi (in Naver it is saemseu sushi). Next to it, there’s a Mexican restaurant called Guacamole (gwakamolle in Naver). They were both SOOOOO good. It was worth the detour.
At Sam’s Sushi, I got the lobster roll that had lobster on the outside with cucumber and avocado on the inside for ₩13,000, the Philadelphia roll that had salmon, cream cheese, and avocado for ₩11,000, and shrimp tempura for ₩8,200. I wish I got some to go.


At Guacamole, I got a veggie burrito with sour cream and guacamole to go. Instead of getting guacamole, I got salsa fresca, and I didn’t get any sour cream. BUT it was still amazing. One of the best Mexican dishes I’ve ever had. I don’t have a picture of it cause well first, to-go orders never look nice, and second, when I got back to my apartment, I didn’t even think about taking a picture because it smelled so good so I stuffed my face. LOL.
The Sphynx Cafe in Cheonan Korea was my favorite and last stop of my journey in South Korea. And it was worth it.

This is an interesting post. I never knew about sphinx and loved reading.
Thanks! It was my first time seeing a sphynx cat too!
Cool cafe! I’m going to visit this cafe if I travel to South Korea again. Sphynx cats are very famous in South Korea now. There are a lot of Korean celebrities having them as their pet. Oh golly……I miss traveling to South Korea. Thank you for sharing.
Oh wow that’s cool, I didn’t know that. What parts of Korea have you been to?
I am IN LOVE with this growing trend of cat cafes. Not only does it offer a place where people who may not be able to commit to the care of a cat fulltime can get their cat fix, but it also serves as a great home for these cats where they are cared for and loved on at a time where we are dealing with a serious overpopulation issue in terms of stray and feral cats in many areas of the world. Honestly, it’s a win/win!
Yes!!! It really makes me happy that they have a home and are cared for!
How fun! We have cat cafes, but I’ve never seen one specifically for sphinxes. That is awesome! I’m glad you enjoyed it and that you got your bag back. 🙂
Haha yes, that was a fun adventure 😂 I had never heard of a sphynx cafe before either!
What a unique idea for a cafe! I’ve never met a sphinx cat before but imagine they are super soft and cute to be around. I’m all for animal petting cafes, just wish there was a corgi or dog one near me, haha!
