My family really enjoyed our visit! It’s a genius idea, and I loved that everything is kept neat and clean. The cats were so much fun to interact with while we sipped our beverages. My kids met other fellow “cat ladies” and it was very relaxing. Of course we would have loved to adopt a new baby, but right now is not the right time for us. We will definitely be back to visit.
Wonderful adoption-first mindset giving homeless cats a place to acclimate and socialize to other cats and humans while staying off the street. Enjoy a cozy hour with the cats and if you’re looking for a cat to adopt, I can’t think of a better place.

El Gato Coffeehouse is a special place where visitors can spend quality time with adorable cats, many of which are available for adoption. The coffeehouse provides a cozy atmosphere, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the company of the cats. They also host events like "cat yoga" classes led by experienced instructors. The menu includes hot chocolate and cookies, making it a great spot for families and children who will love the cute felines.
The staff at El Gato Coffeehouse are caring and attentive, showing genuine concern for the cats. Guests can find around a dozen cats in a large room filled with toys and space for play. There are several seating options for those who prefer to relax and enjoy the lively, cat-filled environment. Visitors are encouraged to ask about the cats' personalities—some are playful, while others are more introverted.
The establishment emphasizes adoption, and many visitors have had positive experiences, including adopting cats like Lauren. The place is kept very clean, and the environment makes it easy to interact and bond with the cats. For a fee of $20 per adult for a one-hour experience, guests can feed the cats, play with them, and potentially find a new feline friend. Bringing treats from outside is recommended to make interactions even better, although it's best to check if outside treats are allowed.
Overall, El Gato Coffeehouse is appreciated by the local community, especially by those who love cats. The staff is friendly and helpful, making the experience enjoyable for everyone. Whether for a fun visit or to adopt a kitty, it’s a place that offers a memorable and heartwarming experience with adorable cats.
