Our Story 🐾

A café rooted in love—for cats, for artful drinks, and for that rare spot you hate to leave.

Chapter 01

What Exactly Is a Mocktail?

A mocktail is a skillfully made non-alcoholic drink, crafted with the same care as a cocktail—think layered flavors, pretty garnishes, and fresh ingredients, all without a drop of alcohol. The name comes from "mock" (meaning to imitate) and "cocktail".

These aren't just juice or soda. Mocktails are the real deal, built with freshly squeezed citrus, homemade syrups, herbal infusions, sparkling water, fresh herbs, and even teas to create bold, refreshing tastes.

🌿

Fresh & Natural

Every ingredient is chosen for real flavours and top quality—no artificial ingridients.

🎨

Crafted with Care

Like cocktail mixology, balance is everything—sweet, sour, bitter, and effervescence all working together.

🥂

Inclusive Drinking

Everyone should get to savor a great drink. Mocktails make the experience open to all—no alcohol required to have fun!

"Mocktails prove that the most memorable drinks are built on creativity, not alcohol."

The Anatomy of a Cat-Tale 🍹🐾

At our shop, it's the art of blending premium fresh flavors without the buzz. Each sip is a booze-free gem, drawing inspiration from the quirky, lively spirits of our resident cats.

📖 General Meaning
🍒
🍃 The Zen Base

Natural infusions like butterfly pea tea or muddled herbs functioned as a calming foundation.

🍸 The Sparkling Spirit

Soda or tonic brings that lively "zoomie" fizz to your taste buds.

🧊 The Chill Factor

Crystal-clear ice to keep things cool, even during the most energetic playtime.

🍒 The Finishing Paws

Fresh fruits or edible flowers add the perfect touch—because every drink needs a little flair.

🐱 What Is a Cat Café?

A cat café is a cozy spot where you sip drinks and snacks while friendly resident cats wander freely around. The concept blends the comfort of a café with the therapeutic presence of feline companions.

The world's first cat café, Cat Flower Garden, opened in Taipei, Taiwan, back in 1998. The idea took off in Japan during the early 2000s—especially in Tokyo, where tiny apartments kept many people from owning pets. By 2015, cat cafés had spread across Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia.

🧧

Origin: Taiwan, 1998

Cat Flower Garden in Taipei became the pioneer, blending café life with adoptable cats.

🎌

Popularised in Japan

Neko no Jikan launched in Osaka in 2004. By 2010, Japan boasted over 150 cat cafés, each with its unique charm.

🌏

Global Phenomenon

Now, there are thousands worldwide—from London to Melbourne to Jakarta—offering little havens for cat fans everywhere.

Research shows that interaction with cats reduces cortisol (stress hormone) and increases oxytocin — which is why time at a cat café genuinely feels restorative.

Chapter 03

💡 Where Did Mocsky Begin?

It started with a very specific frustration: "Why isn't there a café that's truly special—beautiful drinks, friendly cats, and a space that feels just right for us?"

In late 2022, three friends—Karla, Anggun, and Kika—sat in an ordinary coffee shop in Yogyakarta, sketching ideas in a notebook. They all shared the same vision: to build a place that wasn't just aesthetic, but genuinely welcoming. No alcohol needed for sophistication, just a home for stray and rescued cats could live comfortably while bringing joy to guests.

"We didn't want to just open a café. We wanted to build a feeling—something remarkable."

The idea was simple: craft-level mocktails inspired by botanical flavours, a thoughtfully designed space with soft lights and greenery, and well-cared-for rescue cats. Mocsky was born not from a business plan, but from a genuine desire to create something they'd want to visit every day.

📖 The Mocsky Journey

From a notebook sketch in a Yogyakarta coffee shop to a beloved cat café in Bandung—here's how it goes.

Late 2022
The Idea Is Born 💡
Karla, Anggun, and Kika huddle at a local café, doodling Mocsky on a napkin—a non-alcoholic craft drink spot with rescue cats. The name "Mocsky" is coined that same evening, blending "mock" and "whisky" for a playful twist.
Early 2023
Building the Dream 🔨
Over six months of recipe development, interior design, sourcing rescue cats from local shelters, and navigating permits. The team works from Anggun's home kitchen, testing over 40 mocktail recipes—only the best 6 make the opening menu.
July 2023
Mocsky Opens Its Doors 🎉
Mocsky Café officially opens in Yogyakarta with 5 resident cats, 6 signature mocktails, and a waitlist on opening day. The response from the local community is overwhelming—fully booked for a week straight!
Late 2023
Growing the Family 🐈
The resident cat family grows to 12. The menu expands with 12 new mocktails. Mocsky begins hosting weekly events—mocktail tasting sessions, cat adoption meetups, and weekend drawing classes with the cats as subjects.
2024
The Coffee Chapter ☕
By popular demand, Anggun develops The Whisker Brew Collection—12 signature coffees to complement the mocktail menu. Mocsky becomes the first cat café in Yogyakarta to offer a full non-alcoholic specialty drinks programme alongside coffee.
2025
Going Beyond Yogyakarta 🌏
Mocsky receives its first franchise inquiry. Plans for a Bandung branch are drawn up—a larger space, more cats, and a dedicated mocktail bar. The Mocsky community online reaches 10,000+ followers across Instagram.
2026 & Beyond
The Story Continues ✨
Mocsky continues to grow—new menus, new events, new cats, and a mission that remains unchanged: to be a place where everyone feels welcome, every drink tells a story, and every cat finds a home.
