A café menu can make it seem as though everybody has already decided between an Americano and a latte. You would rather have something else.
At Siamese Cat Café, the current menu includes milk teas, matcha, fruit teas, juices, smoothies, fresh soy milk and sodas as well as coffee. Choose the kind of drink you actually enjoy—creamy, fruity, refreshing or dessert-like—then check the ingredients and available adjustments with the team.
One distinction matters before you order: without coffee does not necessarily mean without caffeine. Tea, matcha and cocoa can contain caffeine. The FDA’s consumer guidance discusses caffeine sources beyond coffee. This page does not provide caffeine amounts or individual medical advice.
Start with what you are avoiding
Not enjoying coffee’s flavour is different from needing to avoid caffeine, dairy or a particular ingredient. Tell the team the actual requirement rather than just saying “something light.”
For example, you may enjoy a tea-based drink but dislike coffee. Or you may want no tea or coffee at all. Someone choosing oat milk may be doing so for taste, while another person needs detailed allergy information. Those are different conversations.
A drink’s name and colour cannot answer them. Neither can a photograph on social media.
For a creamy drink, check the base and the topping
The menu lists matcha latte with fresh milk or oat milk, Taiwanese milk tea with boba, and Thai red or green milk tea with boba. These are useful directions to explore when you want a milky drink without coffee, but they are not automatically caffeine-free.
Ask about the full recipe, including cream layers, powders, syrups and toppings. Choosing a plant-based milk does not by itself establish that every other component is dairy-free or that cross-contact can be avoided.
Fresh soy milk is another published option. It contains soy, and anyone avoiding peanuts, milk or other ingredients should ask about the current recipe and preparation rather than infer safety from the name. Do not order a drink as an allergy-safe experiment.
For fruit, decide between a drink and a blended treat
The menu lists juices such as mango, apple, carrot, lime, watermelon and pineapple, alongside fruit smoothies and yogurt-based smoothies. Availability may change, so use the live menu rather than treating this article as stock confirmation.
Choose juice when that is the texture you want; choose a smoothie when you want something thicker. Ask whether a particular smoothie contains milk, yogurt or another added base. Fruit in the name does not make every recipe identical.
Sweetness adjustments can be useful, but “no added sugar” is not the same as a drink containing no sugar at all. A recipe may also use a prepared ingredient that cannot be adjusted at the counter. Describe your preference and ask what can actually be changed.
For a refreshing option, do not overlook the tea base
Tropical fruit tea and lemon tea may sound like fruit drinks, but the word “tea” deserves attention when caffeine matters. Ask what the base contains. The menu also lists butterfly pea flower tea and flavoured sodas; confirm the current preparation and ingredients rather than assuming from a category name.
A sparkling drink and a still fruit drink offer different sensations. Start with that preference before considering colours, toppings or how the glass will look in a photograph.
There is nothing wrong with choosing water when it is what you want. A cat café visit does not require ordering the most elaborate drink on the page.
Dessert-like drinks are their own decision
Cocoa and Oreo frappés, and some creamy fruit blends, may suit the part of the day when you would otherwise choose dessert. Think about what you are also eating and how much you feel like ordering.
Do not assume cocoa is caffeine-free, or that removing one topping changes every ingredient in the base. For specific dietary requirements, the team needs to check the actual preparation. We do not publish unverified caffeine, calorie or allergen figures here.
On a cat café date, choosing two different drinks can be more useful than ordering matching cups for the photograph. Matching preferences are not a condition of a successful afternoon.
Ask one clear question before ordering
Try: “I do not drink coffee, but tea is fine. Which less-sweet option would you suggest?” Or: “I need to avoid caffeine. Could you check the ingredients rather than recommend something simply because it has no coffee?”
For allergies, state the ingredient and explain that it is an allergy. Ask about cross-contact and accept that the venue may not be able to provide the assurance you need. This guide does not certify any item as suitable for a medical diet.
Prices and recipes belong on the live menu, which remains the place to check before visiting. During the cats’ rest periods, a drink can also give your visit an enjoyable human-sized pause.
Come for the cats. Order for your own taste. Coffee can remain somebody else’s decision.
