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.

The dalgona ice latte was delicious & not too sweet. It was calm & quite enjoyable for kids.

We went with a group of kids who were very excited to go. The drink choices seemed limited. Most had caffeine or milk, likely we should have looked more closely at the menu, but I assumed there would be more juice based options & popping pearls or something to make it more kid friendly. The kids all walked away with a small cute plushie so no one walked away unhappy

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.

What a lovely place!

We showed up unannounced one evening a few weeks ago. The place was fully booked, yet Jules & Bean took the time to show us around, help our kids pick out some fun gear to decorate, & they even managed to score us a table.l eventually.

What was supposed to be a bit of window shopping turned into an hour & a half of fun, with both kids ecstatic with their creations.

Thanks for a great time!
