I love this place!! I did have one bad experience while witnessing an adopting a few years ago but I don't think that employee works here anymore. I love trying their new lattes. If you happen to order something on DoorDash that they forgot to mark as out of stock on the app, they will call you to update your order which I really appreciate. There is one girl with blonde hair that is kind of off putting/unwelcoming but I think she just makes the orders or maybe she's just shy. I love their cake pops. The parking is a little annoying if ur a new driver

I took my family there and we ordered drinks and spent time with the cats. Very friendly cats, the cafe is clean, well no cat hair flying around even in the closed off glass section where the cats are. Didn't smell like cats in the cat room, cats are well taken care of and also staff are so polite and helpful. The atmosphere is very calming and relaxing. They use tumbler cups which is really cool we loved that added touch. Macaroons were amazing and the blueberry muffin was perfect and moist and soft. Also the cat part is timed and so you just let them know you'd like to spend time with the cats if you wish and depending on the time they will let you know when your hour is next and there's seating as well in the cat area. I highly recommend visiting this place. We will definitely be going back.

If there weren’t cats and the good cause behind every cup of coffee, it’d STILL be one of nicest coffee shops around.

Literally the floor

Every time I’ve been has been a good experience, I went as a kid when they first opened and I was there again a couple months ago. Always clean, chill cats, good drinks, overall a great place!

Whoever thought this up is a genius!
If your afraid of smells don't be it is extremely clean and well air filtered. If you or someone you know loves cats this is the place for you 😻

I take my elderly mother here every time we come home to visit and she absolutely loves it. She has dementia, and being around animals is one of her favorite things, but she can't have pets at her assisted living facility, so we always come here every visit. The staff is very kind and friendly, it's great to be able to spend time with the kitties, and the coffee drinks are lovely also! I would highly recommend!

Very fun and cute cat cafe! If you want to visit the kitties during a busy time it's a good idea to pay ahead of time and reserve a spot in the cat room just in case.

I like cats so this review is biased!
Coffee was excellent. Service was fantastic! View from upstairs came with sunshine on a cold winter's day. Furry ones are enclosed in a room downstairs--check in at the counter to visit them. If you get there before Stivers let's out, there was no waiting. ...welcoming, warm, and cozy!
Note: parking is behind the building. Cut through the alley to get there.

One of the hidden gems of Dayton DT. Had a good hangout time with my family and has a very balanced hot Latte. Our son liked his hot Mocha. Although outside looks of the place could be deceiving but once you step inside, it will give you a totally different experience. Worth going once at least, even out of your way. And yeah, if you are cat lover, you can have that time too. I think they might charge some extra, but will be worth anyway. Btw, besides neighborhood street parking, there's some parking in the rear as well. Enjoy ☕.

It’s a cute cafe. The coffee is okay but the cats are adorable. The spot is well decorated. It would be a lovely spot if it weren’t for the staff acting as if they hate you when you walk in. I smiled and asked for a drip coffee but I guess I didn’t match a certain criteria? I noticed a few others with similar comments.

As a neighborhood coffee shop, a smile goes a long way. Even you hate the person you’re serving. It’s easy to be kind! 😀
