America's friendliest
giant rodents are moving in.

Hand-feed a capybara in a private room and meet the rest of the herd your guide brings along. Live now in two Florida cities, with more US cities on the way. Pick your café and grab a time slot before it's gone.

The route

Two coasts, one herd worth the drive.

Tap your city to see hours and grab a booking slot. New locations get added to this list the day they open.

01
Now booking

St. Augustine

Our original herd, tucked into Florida's oldest city. Capybaras and cobblestone streets right outside.

02
Now booking

St. Petersburg

A Gulf-coast café stop with the same herd energy. Great before or after a day on the beach.

When you arrive

Two stops: check in, then head back for your encounter.

1

Check in at the counter

Give your name to the team at the front counter. Your waiver should already be signed online, so this is quick.

→
2

Head back for your encounter

A staff member will walk you to your private room when it's your turn and guide the whole encounter from there.

Before you go

  • Complete your waiver online before you arrive.
  • Wear closed-toe shoes and clothes you don't mind getting a little messy.
  • Arrive early to check in before your booking.
  • Let the capybaras approach you, and skip the flash photography.
Expanding nationwide

Florida's just the start. Help us pick what's next.

We're planning our next round of Capybara Cafés across the US, and we're picking cities based on where people actually want one. Tell us where you're coming from and we'll factor it in.

Where should we open next?

Drop your email and let us know where you're coming from. The more requests a city gets, the sooner it moves up the list.

What to expect

One herd, zero rush.

Small, timed groups

Every slot is capped so you get real time with the animals, not a crowd shuffling past a fence.

Guided the whole time

A keeper walks every group through the private room, introducing your capybara plus a few other animals along the way. Only the capybaras get fed.

Hands-on, not hands-off

Your encounter happens in a private room, not a walk-by exhibit. Capybara feeding is included; other animals your guide brings in are for meeting, not feeding.

Book once, roam free

One ticket covers your full time slot. No upsells, no second line to stand in.

Ready when you are

Pick a city, meet the herd.

Slots move fast on weekends. Book a few days ahead if you can.
