Sunday morning only two cats out. I'm sure there's other times when there's many more. Cats are up for adoption

I’ve been coming here for 5+ years. Pretty regularly as I live nearby and appreciate what they do and want to support this business. It was so frustrating today to have to wait 20 mins for a coffee. I get it’s a Saturday, it’s busy, but I had to remind them about their drink and there were nonchalant about it and couldn’t admit they forgot about my drink. It will be awhile before I return after got over my frustration.

Everything was really nice. It’s just that it was kind of awkward in the cat room it just since we were the last ones and all the other cats were sleeping and some of them were playing with people that already got there and people weren’t sharing so then it’s just like we’re just really standing in there. The drink and sandwich were good.

The food was excellent , the hot chocolate was delicious, the team is friendly and the cat lounge was excellent. The reason for 3 stars is the horrible smell of the smoke in the dining area. They need to improve their ventilation system. I complained about it to the employer but couldn’t do anything.

Cat & Craft in Vista was a nice experience overall. The check-in process was smooth, and food and drinks were served quickly. I appreciated their vegan options like tarts, brownies, and doughnuts, and the staff was friendly.
That said, a few moments disrupted the visit. A guest feeding the cats chicken distracted them from interacting with others, which felt unfair since we paid to spend time with the cats. It also made some cats competitive. Additionally, one aggressive cat hissed and swatted at others—and even scratched us within the first few minutes, causing minor bleeding.
Despite this, the space is clean and cozy, and most of the cats are sweet and playful. With a little patience, they’ll even sit on your lap. Overall, it’s a fun spot for cat lovers, though a bit more oversight could improve the experience.

Cats! Also, CATS!!!
MAKE A RESERVATION if you want to visit with the kitties up for adoption. If not, you can grab coffee and gourmet toast or buy some merch. The proceeds help the rescue that organizes the adoptions. This is the most important part of this place. So many furry friends need a forever home. Take one home with you!
I tried a toast flight and can't recommend the apple pie one due to the overwhelming sour cheese and cold apples, but the Elvis was good and the cinnamon brulee was exceptional.

Love this cat cafe! The food is delicious, tried their avocado toast, and it's so fresh and tasty. We also tried their Chipotle sandwich, and it was delicious. Their coffee is so good, too. Playing with the cats and putting them was the best part! If you love cats, then this is the place to go.

The coffee and pastries were so amazing, I don’t usually write reviews however I wanted to give a buyer beware if you’re thinking about paying for the cat visiting part. I paid $15 for 30min and I got to pet a few cats for not very long. When I went in an hour session seems to have just started because 10min before they called the hour was over and hen they told me and I said oh I paid for the 30min and they told me it had ended at 3, however there was a family with about 3 kids, and about 8 other people in there playing with the cats and it was not regulated, unfortunately I cannot recommend paying to “see the cats”

I will 100% be coming back here! It’s divided into two areas, the cafe and the kitty interaction room. You can watch the kitties from the cafe through the windows if you don’t want to buy an admission ticket - but I highly recommend buying admission to visit the cats! I reserved a spot online in advance. It’s definitely worth the $ to support this business & hang out with some furry friends for an hour.
FOOD & DRINK: I had a coffee and croissant - both were yummy, the croissant was one of the best I’ve ever had! So flaky!
KITTY ZONE: The cat room is nice and large, lots of places for the kitties to lounge and play. Some of them were napping peacefully but I got to interact with others, whether it was playing or petting!
ATMOSPHERE: It’s relaxing and pleasant, both in the cafe and in the kitty zone. I LOVED the wall art! The people working there were all so friendly and kind to me.
Whether you’re looking to adopt, or you just want a fun pleasant spot to chill with some kitties while sipping coffee - this place is wonderful and I’m excited to come back again. :)

Super cute cafe. Terrific coffee and muffins. Went into the cat part. Two gals who work there couldn't be bothered to get off their phones. They knew nothing about the cats! But super fun to play with lots of kitties roaming around.

My husband and I love coming here for a quick lunch date. The paninis are HUGE and come with either a bag of chips or a decent portion of fruit (strawberries,banana and blueberries). We love eatting while looking into the room that houses the cats. There is an age limit to see the cats but if you have younger children they do have special hours and even events for them.
Drinks are delicious and if you don't have time for a full play session with the kitties, the seating area is spacious and cozy with huge glass panes allowing you to see all the cats hanging out easily.
The play room itself is great. It's obvious the kitties are well loved and taken care of. The room has lots of height and toys for the kitties to hang out or play with on their own or with visitors. The temptation to adopt all the cats from the newest kittens to the oldest member was extremely strong (if only my family didn't have strong fur allergies!). My friends and I booked an hour to spend time with the cats and all had a blast. It's a wonderful way to spend time with the cats and to potentially meet a new family member!
Bonus! They also sell little cat-themed trinkets - pins, stickers, and cat toys. My friends and I bought a few of each and loved everything we got. Hope I can come again soon!
