Review summary
Across 39 detailed Google reviews, Koneko Work comes through as a calm, cat-friendly coworking café near Bastille where the emphasis is firmly on quiet, focused work done in comfortable surroundings. The atmosphere and the food and drink offer are the two aspects members return to most. Reviewers consistently describe the space as "calm and peaceful," and many single out the teas and specialty drinks — one member notes the "delicious teas and cherry vanilla were amazing" — as a genuine reason to stay longer. The quiet carries through into the working experience itself, with members repeatedly calling it "a really lovely, very quiet place to work," making it a reliable choice for deep-focus sessions. The space is also praised for its cleanliness and natural light, with enough room that it never feels cramped. Staff attention, led in many reviews by a host named Inès, stands out as a differentiator — members describe "exceptional attentiveness" that makes the environment feel welcoming rather than transactional. Practical touches add to the appeal: phone booths draw consistent praise for handling calls and short meetings discreetly, mobile screens are available for anyone needing a second monitor, and the Wi-Fi is described as reliable. The flexible hourly pricing, noted at around six euros per hour, and the resident cats round out what members feel makes the space distinctive. The one honest note of friction concerns staff: a single reviewer flagged an interaction with the owner as a mild disappointment, a rare but worth-acknowledging counterpoint to the otherwise warm consensus on service.

A fantastic coworking space AND a cat haven ♥️ I finally tried this coworking space after weeks of watching Instagram stories and drooling over the adorable cats and the treat bar. I wasn't disappointed. First of all, IT'S SO PEACEFUL! I have particularly sensitive ears and arrived with a migraine starting to kick in. I spent two hours in absolute silence, with just a barely perceptible background music that encouraged concentration. It was so hard to leave… The cats are there, they sleep, they eat, they live their lives, and if you're lucky, they might even greet you. Here, cats are respected; they aren't toys, they have their own personalities and wills. If you're looking to pet cats who just want to be left alone, this isn't the place. But if you're looking for their calming presence, then yes, go for it. The "bar." Delicious teas (the peach raspberry and cherry vanilla were amazing), plenty of sweet and savory treats. All kinds of coffee, golden lattes—it's hard not to find something you love. And as I was leaving, I even got a leg rub from Cibelle—anything can happen! In two hours, I worked the equivalent of a whole day and got to see some incredibly cute cats. I got my loyalty card and I'll be back ♥️🐈🐈⬛

A few months ago, I stopped by Koneko Work from 9 am to 12 pm to take advantage of their Productive Morning rate of €14. You can even reserve your spot in advance on their website to avoid any stress. 🐈 The place is calm and peaceful. Seeing cats (available for adoption!) sleeping and playing with those who want to during our breaks is really nice. ❤️ The staff is friendly and attentive. ☕️ The selection of snacks and drinks is varied and high-quality, and it's constantly improving thanks to customer feedback. ➕ There are two mobile screens available if you need a second monitor, two reservable booths if you have calls to make, a break room, a meeting room, and there's also a printer and binding and laminating services. 🐈 Adoption Update: Several months later, I fell in love with one of the cats Koneko Work was fostering thanks to an Instagram post. I followed the adoption process with the EMÂ association via an online form (don't contact Koneko Work first, contact the association directly!). After a call with the association, Inès from Koneko Work met us to see the cat. She gave us all the information we needed and remained available afterward. The association came to our home to deliver our cat and checked our living space with us. The adoption process is well detailed on the association's website, and everyone we met from both EMÂ and Koneko Work was professional and lovely. You can contact them without hesitation if you fall in love with a cat!

A really lovely, very quiet place to work, even all day. Everything is very well explained regarding how the coworking space works and how to behave around the cats. The phone booths are very practical for meetings, as are the numerous power strips and the excellent internet connection. The variety of drinks and snacks is also a big plus. Working surrounded by cats is a real pleasure, especially if you love them but can't have one at home. Furthermore, it's clear that this is a place that respects the well-being of cats. I highly recommend this place; I will definitely return.

A fantastic coworking café. While in Paris, I spent a whole day there from 10 am to 7 pm. It has a great atmosphere, the cats are really cool, and it's very relaxing to work alongside them. The staff at reception are super friendly, and everyone respects the quiet. There's a wide variety of drinks and snacks available, which are delicious and original. This kind of place transforms a workday into a pleasant and relaxing experience, which is quite rare! Thank you so much :)

A spacious, clean, and very quiet place. The cats are treated with the utmost respect, the music is soft and low, the snacks are perfect, and the staff is charming and welcoming. Everything is centered around the comfort of the cats, who are adorable, and the affordable prices are a huge plus. I'll be back :)
