Coffee is delicious and cats are adorable and friendly! A must stop if in the New Paltz area.

Good coffee but we were there for the cats! They were so cute and very clearly cared for! All of them wanted pets or playtime. The staff had clear boundaries to keep them all safe and happy.

We were visiting family from Michigan, walking around the little downtown area of New Paltz, when I just happened to look down a side street and see "Cat Cafe". My daughter is a huge "cat lover" and I said, "oh my gosh, they have a cat cafe, do you want to go look in the window?" - we lasted all of 4 seconds before we were entering the front door, looking at spending some time with the sweet babies. My daughter and I each got a drink; we were told the ground rules (nothing surprising) and were advised to wash our hands upon entering. Immediately, I had the sweetest cats at my feet, rubbing my legs, looking for all the pets and love. My daughter had so much fun, and we both enjoyed our experience. if we didn't have a 10-hour drive and 2 cats at home, we would have applied to take one home. The kittens were so cute and playful. None of the cats were aggressive or ill tempered. My tiramisu cold brew was fantastic, and my daughter had a vanilla steamer. I found this place to be fairly priced and the cats seemed very well taken care of. The staff was friendly and told us all about the cats and where they came from and their stories. My ONLY issue with the cafe, as SOON as they opened the door to where all the cats were, the smell was awful. You can tell they really do try to mask or hide the smell and with that many cats, I'd imagine it's hard to do. But I couldn't even see litter boxes and the cat urine smell was fairly strong. All in all, if you love cats and want to enjoy 30 or so minutes of feline company and a tasty coffee, check out Beans! Took home a sweatshirt to remember my fun adventure with my girl.

I love the idea of this place! The coffee and drinks are good. Not being from the area I did not know the background here, there are no signs telling you the story of the cats. I learned they come from local shelters. You pay for time in the cat room, in 30 minute increments. There are some basic rules to follow, nothing surprising... Here is the but. It smells horrible in the cat room. When they opened the door I was punched in the face by the litter box smell... And I could not even see the boxes. I was done after 10 minutes. I am not what they need to do, but the sheet was a problem for me.

Great cafe with beautiful kitties. One thing that caught our attention though was that the cats didn’t have water when we were in, the cats also had eye boogers and looked like they could be a little better taken care of. We just want for all of those little kitties to find loving homes.

Clean well-kept space with lots of cats! There were 19 cats on the day we went. The cats are well-mannered; even the collared ones were not very aggressive. Good AC on a hot day too. And finally, the admission fee is a nice way to support a worthy cause.
We did not order anything during this visit. We were too excited about the cats.
Everything was clean and the staff was friendly. They offered ground rules for engaging with the cats safely and gave a gentle reminder when we had 5 minutes left in our time slot. We made our reservations and paid online before arriving. It was an easy process.
We lucked out and found street parking only a few spaces from the front door. We used the parking app to make it really easy to pay for parking.
Overall a great experience. There are a few steps upon entry, limiting the accessibility for anyone with ambulation differences.
We will definitely be back again.

Super cute! Everyone was so nice there and the cats were adorable. Very reasonable prices for drinks and to sit with the cats. All of them were approachable and comfortable around people. You can buy treats for the cats (bring quarters!) and they had many toys and climbing areas for them. Will definitely be returning!

My husband and I visited here this past Saturday and overall it was a difficult experience. The first 20 minutes were fine - I was mainly sat on the window seat with a cat named "Nick" who climbed into my lap. During the last ten minutes or so of our experience there were a few issues (i) a cat fight between three or four cats, half of whom were wearing collars indicating that they had temperament issues and/or issues with other cats/people and (ii) I was bit by a non-collared cat named "Butters" who was, up until a day or two ago, listed on the website as being both human and cat friendly. The cat bite infected my hand and Sunday morning I had to go receive a tetanus shot and I am currently on a slew of antibiotics as a result. While I understand that every cat is different and, perhaps, Butters was stressed out from the previous cat fight, I do have some concerns with keeping a cafe in which half of the cats, at least, are collared due to having temperament issues while simultaneously being in an environment of profound stress. My hope is that since this branch seems to be relatively new this can be chalked up to growing pains and they might be able to figure out a way to prevent issues with stressed out cats having behavior issues!
