Review Summary

Across reviews, Café Capybara comes across as a charming, ultra cute cafe centered on capybaras, offering a cozy vibe, a wide drinks menu with items like matcha, pistachio latte, taro, guava, coconut water based drinks, Seoul coffee, and specialties such as matcha creme brulee and dalgona style drinks, plus a back craft space and a rich array of capybara plushies and themed merchandise that many say adds to the fun. The atmosphere is described as welcoming and family friendly, with friendly staff who are often English friendly, though a few notes mention busy periods and understaffing that can make service slow, and some visits point to limited seating for casual coffee drinkers or occasional menu limitations. Overall the sentiment is that Café Capybara is a must visit for capybara lovers, a place to relax and enjoy creative drinks and crafts, with the decor and merch elevating the experience, and many expressing plans to return to try more flavors and participate in workshops.

Cute, if you like capybaras, it's gonna be a nice win, they have a workshop in the back to make... Idk, my friend was mostly listening to that part.

Drink menu is fun too.
Had a pineapple juice & coffee, in the same style as coffee lemonade, a real treat

Saw the reviews for this quaint little coffee shop online so we had to make our way down to Café Capybara. It wasn't what I was expecting.

One young lady at the front taking & making drink orders. While waiting for our drinks to be made, I walked around & although there were some cute keychains, headbands & other things you can craft; it appeared like they ran out of inventory. At the back it seemed like they were getting ready to hold a soap or keychain making lesson.

We ordered the hot matchabary & the pistachios in coconut water. I used two sugars in the matcha, which was perfectly?!!😋
A nice little spot for young kids while waiting for their parents' drinks to be made.

I just got home from a tasting at the brand new Capybara Café, & honestly? I'm still thinking about it.

They're serving up Korean-inspired coffee creations that are full of heart (& foam). Their coffee beans are custom-made just for them - & you can taste the love in every sip.

One thing I loved? They whip up their foam toppings fresh every single morning. No shortcuts, just that thick, silky goodness. & if you're a bonbon drink fan like me, their whipped topping is made with cream cheese, condensed milk, & a little magic. So good !

My personal favorites from the tasting:

Bonbon à la noix de coco - Fraise: Coconut water + strawberry = summer in a cup. Light, creamy, just sweet enough - basically a cloud you can sip.

☕ Café Viennois - Pistachio: If pistachio is your love language, this one's for you. Rich, nutty, & luxuriously smooth.

Bonbon à la noix de coco - Taro: the earthy sweetness & coconut base hit just right.

& not to be dramatic, but the café itself is adorable. Capybara merch, plushy keychains , & cute decor everywhere. It feels like stepping into a capybara's dream world.

If you're into coffee with a side of cuteness (& extra foam), Capybara Café is definitely worth a visit. I'm already planning my next trip back to try more of their unique creations . The guava iced americano is calling my name.

I share local foodie finds & cultural gems at @foxyappetite on Instagram & @foxy.appetite on TikTok - & this one definitely earned a spot.

This experience was comped as part of a media collaboration - sharing my honest thoughts above!
