In a heartwarming tribute to the legacy of Alex the Great, a beloved San Francisco Giants therapy bunny, his owners have opened the doors to Bunny Cafe SF in Fisherman's Wharf. The cafe serves as a rescue and adoption center for rabbits from shelters, a mission that Alex's owners, Josh and Kei, vowed to continue after their beloved pet's passing in July 2025 due to complications from cancer treatment.
As a reminder of their commitment, the couple adopted another bunny named Alexis, who has already started volunteering as a therapy animal at San Jose airport. However, just this month, they launched Bunny Cafe SF, where visitors can pay a fee to spend time with adoptable rabbits in their cozy lounge. A portion of the proceeds goes directly to local rescues.
Alexis's predecessor was Alex the Great himself, who was rescued from a meat farm before becoming a therapy bunny. His story is a testament to the transformative power of love and compassion towards animals. Josh and Kei have taken up his legacy by opening a space that not only celebrates his memory but also helps save rabbits in need.
Bunny Cafe SF held its soft opening on January 1, 2026, offering visitors an immersive experience with adoptable bunnies while promoting animal welfare and rescue efforts. The cafe is more than just a novelty; it's a testament to the enduring impact of Alex the Great's life and work.

I'm low-key impressed they opened a Bunny Cafe SF, it's actually a great way to spread love & help rabbits in need 
. It's awesome that Alexis, the new therapy bunny, is already volunteering at airports and helping out with that mission too 
! its so cool that Josh & Kei are carrying on his legacy by helping rescue rabbits in need 
The soft opening was on jan 1 which is perfect because what better way to start the new year than surrounded by adorable furry friends? 
cant wait to check it out and see how they're doing!
. Don't get me wrong, I love bunnies and think this is a great idea for raising awareness about animal rescue, but I just don't see the point of paying for it 
. Can't we just support these causes through donations or volunteering instead? And isn't the fact that Josh and Kei are continuing Alex's legacy enough to inspire us to care about their mission? I guess what I'm saying is, let's not monetize animal love
