Mac Tabby Cat Cafe - Charlotte

Mac Tabby cat cafe was a fun stop while in NoDa. The staff were cheerful and welcoming. We got our drinks(amazing btw) and spent 30mins playing and interacting with the amazing cats they have on site. if we hadn't been visiting from out of state, we would have tried to go home with 3 of them. haha Definitely a great spot!

Such a cool place with someone very unique would definitely recommend had so much fun

Got an iced chai tea latte with oat milk, quite tasty! We were there for the cats, so the drink was a nice bonus! They had a good beer selection too. They get new cats on Thursday, or that’s what we were told. So if you’re interested in adoption, they said Thursday am was the best time to come ?

my boyfriend surprised me with coffee and cat time last year for my birthday and i’ve been obsessed ever since. the entire vibe of the cafe/cat room is amazing and the decor is adorable! ALSO, the coffee is the best i’ve found in Charlotte. which is a big reason why i love the place so much, not to mention the cats! ??

This is where we got our big orange lover boy Leo from (formerly Diego)

I absolutely love this place. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The staff is so sweet and the drinks are delicious. On top of that, you have the opportunity to spend time with sweet cats... and they're all rescues that are up for adoption. Whether you're a cat lover or just looking for a unique spot to unwind, Mac Tabby is a must-visit in Charlotte.

Everything was great with friendly staff and the cats!

However, I thought the music was too loud. My ears were ringing a bit when I left and I’d assume that would also be too loud for the cats.

I went to Mac Tabby for my birthday with my husband, mom, and aunt and we had the best time! All of the cats were social and enjoyed playing and receiving pets. I ordered an Iced Pumpkin Chai Latte and it was so tasty. My family enjoyed the selection of canned adult beverages and said they were all a) things they hadn’t seen before and b) delicious. The staff was very personable and let us give the cats some treats since it was a special occasion! My family said they definitely want to come back and I couldn’t agree more ?

Parking: There is plenty of parking in the paid lot behind the building. We were lucky and found free street parking.

Hello all! If there has ever been a hard review for me to write, it is this one. I have been debating it for days, but I decided it’s a big enough issue that I should follow through with it. I’d like to preface by saying that me and my boyfriend have come to the Charlotte Mac Tabby location for 3+ years. We have been loyal customers. It’s a date we always look forward to and count the days down on!

Last Wednesday I had a laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy with the addition of a surprise laparoscopic uterosacral nerve ablation. I decided to book a one-hour kitty date for me and my boyfriend, who goes to college in Virginia and came to visit me during this difficult time of my life, for that Saturday to get me out of the house. Oh boy! I woke up that morning feeling the worst I had since the surgery, it was rough but I decided the date would be worth it. Or so I thought.

For those used to the Charlotte location, you know there is a troublesome flight of stairs leading up to the door. About 20-30. I had told my boyfriend to stay behind me in case I fall or become weak, as this was the first time I had been out of the house since surgery as well as the first flight of stairs I walked up. For some reason, a worker of Mac Tabby (white, middle-aged+, average height male) who was sweeping the area above the stairs decided it would be the perfect time to make side comments about how “it must be such a workout going up those stairs” for me. We did not respond at first, as I was more concerned with not tripping over my own feet, however; he did not let this stop him. He continued making the same comment 2 or 3 more times about the stairs being “such a workout” for me. Once I got to the top of the stairs I informed him I had surgery, but rather than apologize he doubled down and said once more how rough it must be to walk up some stairs with a sarcastic tone. Wow, how kind.

I tried to not let it bother me at first, although later I lost that battle and brought it up to a worker who seemed to understand where I was coming from and decided to get the owner involved. Once the owner came over she did not seem as understanding. At all. Right off the bat, how I felt was dismissed by her and she made excuses for him saying they say that to each other all the time and there’s no way he could’ve known I had surgery. That’s the point! You are coworkers, you know each other. He does NOT KNOW ME! Or what I’ve been through!! I am highly disappointed that it took me showing this lady my stitches and bruises for her to act as if she knew where I was coming from. Bottom line, don’t make comments about your customers you do with your coworkers. Do not make comments with them, especially ones that can be taken as very rude and demeaning. You do not know what people struggle with every day. Some people have disabilities, and climbing those stairs may be the hardest part of their day- don’t be a jackass about it! Don’t make it harder! I don’t care if you make comments to each other at work, be careful who you say that shit to because I am not your coworker I am a paying customer who crawled out of her bed after a very rough surgery to try to have a better day. This experience demonstrates a lack of management understanding. Which is upsetting since me and my boyfriend really loved the experience this place brought us.

Needless to say, me and my boyfriend will not be back to this location. We will try our luck at other locations and pray we don’t have workers make comments about our body there. This has been a disappointing experience, to say the least.

Their drinks are pretty good though and the cats are innocent in all this. Adopt them!!
