“I can’t express how happy I am with Mac Tabby Cat Cafe. I went a few days before Christmas to possibly adopt a new cat. The staff here is amazing, the cats are all adorable and it was overall a great experience. I adopted a beautiful white cat and I love her to pieces. I would not hesitate in the future to adopt from Mac Tabby again. Alternately if you just love cats and want to go hang out for an hour with the kitties, it’s a blast. The cats are very interactive. Thanks again.“

“Incredible Atmosphere & World-Class Pastries!
Amélie’s French Bakery - Uptown is an absolute gem. The atmosphere is so cool and perfectly eclectic, making it a fantastic spot to hang out. The food was delicious across the board, but the pastries are completely off the chain.
Everything we ordered was fantastic:
Savory: The Roasted Veggie Salad was excellent, and the celery seed balsamic dressing was absolutely delicious.
Pastries & Treats: We couldn't resist trying a few things, and every single one hit the mark. The Napoleons and the Vanilla Eclairs were executed perfectly, and the Tiramisu Torte was incredibly rich.
The Brownies: The classic Salted Caramel Brownie and the Salted Caramel Brownie Layer Torte are must-tries if you visit.
Great food, amazing treats, and a uniquely vibrant space. We will definitely be back!“

The Philly cheesesteak was one of the best we’ve ever had, soft bun, packed with flavor, and a huge portion of meat. We also tried the nacho salad and it was amazing, super tasty and fresh. The famous pink lemonade was perfectly balanced and refreshing, and the Oreo shake just topped it all off. Customer service was a solid 11/10 — they checked on us more than once to make sure everything was good, and we really felt taken care of. Definitely coming back again!“
