Nice chill place to grab a drink and hangout with cats available for adoption. Very relaxing environment. Help support their cause.

Hot drinks and baked snacks while enjoying time with cats available for adoption, what’s not to like?!

You want to escape to a cozy corner and a mug of delicious? This place is where it is at or is that cat? The cats are seperated in their own enclosed area, so no worries if you think cats will be on you. However, if you choose to, you can have that experience as well with a fee.

Wonderful place with great drinks at very affordable prices. For $10 you get to play with the kitties, which is the whole point of this cafe. We loved it and will definitely visit again soon.

The drinks are good but the service is extremely slow and the staff are a little rude. Walking in you aren't acknowledged until you walk up and begin ordering, the staff seem irritable and are sometimes completely silent.

Tasty coffee and adorable cats - what's not to love?
The cats are in a separate area with it's own hvac, so even allergic people can visit and enjoy seeing the cats through the big windows. Upstairs there is a quieter seating area that's perfect for enjoying a book or getting some work done.
The cat lounge can be booked to visit on the website, so you can plan your time ahead. The cats can freely visit the lounge or retreat to their private basement, so they're never stressed out.
Best part: aside from the two resident cats, the cats are all adoptable!
Parking in the rear lot is a little tight but manageable. For accessibility planning, the cat lounge has one area with a step down below the main floor, and the upstairs area requires stairs.

Such a sweet place! Workers were so helpful, since we were coming from out of town and hadn’t been before. The cats are obviously to pass away for. Thank you!

Their coffee is not my favorite... it tastes very sour, the syrup is not mixed well, and it is expensive. You could go to Starbucks for similar price but better quality

I didn't order food. I just got coffee. It's nice to sit there and watch the cats in their glassed-in room as they play on their cat maze. A great place to adopt a cat.

The macarons were really good and the service was great! I was just uncomfortable in the cat room because it was hot 🔥 🥵 I was hoping they had AC in there, but I didn't feel any.

It’s so fun to be able to go in and get a coffee and see the cats. I wish you didn’t have to pay to interact with them as well. Overall neat place to walk to get coffee with a friend!

We've had Jean-Luc (aka Eclipse) for a little over a year now. 10/10 cat. He's gentle with my daughter and has become her best friend and night guardian. He's always by our sides and brings so much life into the home. Dude also REALLY loves his window time. Something about his face and demeanor just brings everybody peace. Love you Johnny Boy, never change!
