Go for the drinks but stay for the zen relaxation of petting kitties.

The lattes and hot chocolate were barely room temperature and tasted very watery.The advertisement is that it is a purrista where you can mingle with cats and even consider adopting one. In reality, you cannot actually mingle with the cats unless you have a pre-arranged appointment. The whole experience was very disappointing, especially since we drove downtown on purpose to go there.

Such amazing coffee with a laid back atmosphere. This is worth it by itself! But the cats and plants bring it all together. One of my favorite places to go

My sister Sherry visited a few eeeks back and brought home the cutest Purrista Cat sweatshirts and goodies and some catnip and postcards for the kitty lovers in the Family. What a cute shop you have ! Hope to visit one day !

Oh...my...GOD... This place is wonderful. The decorations and style is perfect. Beautiful inside and out. The cat lounge is WONDERFUL. I can't wait to go back.

Oh, yeah... And the drinks are incredible.

Really fun and memorable experience! Great theming and curating of decor. The process was easy to understand and reasonably priced for coffees and donations for cat time.

Sweet little cat cafe! Prices on coffee reasonable, neither overly high or dirt cheap. Theming and atmosphere on point. Bathroom clean. Think the flavors could be a little stronger, but let's be real, the main reason we're here is the cats.

Some fair warnings: I got lucky and there was an open walk in slot, but for the cat lounge they prefer you make an appointment. A half hour costs $10 and you're required to sign a waiver.

Before you twist yourself into a knot over this, be aware these are homeless cats and your fee goes to house, feed, and care for them until they're adopted. Speaking of which, you can adopt the cats! Or, if you, like myself, already have too many, you can sponsor an adoption for $60-$100 (depending on their age).

Regular cafe section also features cat paintings for purchase. I wasn't surprised to see so many sold.

All pictured cats currently up for adoption.

Great coffee, friendly staff, and adorable cats ☺️ It’s clear the cats are well cared for and loved. Highly recommend making a reservation to pet/play with the cats on a Saturday morning.

The cats are so cute and happy! You can tell they are well taken care of. Vegan options are delicious and the coffee is just right. Best cafe in Erie!

In town and discovered this place on happy accident. Awesome place to spend an hour. Kitties are sweet, coffee and snacks are awesome, and overall had a wonderful time. Call ahead and they might accommodate you! Bring socks as they would like you to remove your shoes before entering the kitty room. They do have socks for purchase if you forget!

A surprisingly therapeutic experience. What a gem hidden downtown to step away from stressors. The cats were pleasant, curious, and interactive in their own way, as they of course are all individuals. How nice to have a pastry before entering, and having a coffee while watching and playing with the cats! It was clean and well stocked with toys to entertain the cats with. Cool vibe and nicely decorated.
