My kids had a wonderful time at Catffeinated Café! They loved playing with the cats and really enjoyed the macarons too. Thank you! 😊

Lady at the counter (maybe in her 20s) gray hair was definitely not the friendliest. Coffee was absolutely TRASH!

I love this concept! The business is in a fantastic location for visibility (both for viewing kitties and kitties people watching) I take my niece and nephews here whenever I am in town.

This place was so fun to take the kids to on a Sunday! They even have good coffee and cute cat cookies. I just wish we could have stayed longer.

The cats were lovely they were very tired when we were there, but it was towards the end of the day. It's a little sad in there, I feel like the cats are a little over stimulated by so many people so they're not really super interested in any affection from anyone because they're constantly being touched but they are sweet. The temperature is a little cold considering cats like to be warm. The pet adoption process is a little sketchy, all they want is $80 and it seems that they don't do much for vetting the new owner so that's concerning. Apparently they get their pets donated from the humane society and from what I can tell the humane society isn't doing much but spaying/neutering and chipping to prepare the cats to be adopted, as we found one that had recently been given to them and they didn't even know that it was deaf. We spent some time with her, she was a gorgeous seal point (lavender)Siamese, but she was very uncomfortable as she had only been there for about 12 hours, and was still having sensory issues and balance issues,(which begs the question how long has she been deaf and why), roaming around nervously and having a hard time understanding what was happening. I hope she finds an appropriate family. Kind of worth it, because my daughter was really excited to go and she liked it, I just felt like the cats could probably use a little more down time, and the workers could probably use a raise and some proper training or a occasional visit from a vet tech.

Really good coffee, and my wife got to enjoy the time with the kitties. It is 15 dollars to go into the car room. That seems a little expensive, like 10 dollars would be perfect, but I get it they do adoptions and I know the money is going to help the cats rather then into a rich corporate pocket. The two hairless kitties were adorable. We will for sure be back!

Went there as a tourist. Was curios to see the cats met the nastiest person at the coffee counter. Don't know how this girl works there can't make a cappuncino or regular coffee. They must be short of workers. Cats were cute. If i were the owner ill fire her and get a robot. Feel sorry for the cats.

My mom was so excited to check this out so I booked as a way to end a girls day out. We were both extremely disappointed. The cafe part is no cafe at all. Nothing worked so we got some very expensive lemonade they probably grabbed from Walmart. The staff was extremely rude, yelling about breaking rules that weren't posted anywhere. They had no cats or kittens other than their house cats who looked like they wished people would just leave them alone. Nothing much for them to do, my single cat has more life enrichment in his environment than their 6 house cats. We left after 15 minutes without anyone even speaking to us. I would not recommend this place to anyone you will be extremely disappointed.

We had such a great time loving on all the cats. Although when we came in the late afternoon they were all ready for naps. If you’d like to play with a kitten maybe pick an earlier slot than noon. We didn’t mind it too much, we still loved meeting all the sleepy cats.
I’ve been before but first time in the new Puyallup location. Such a fun time, really enjoyed getting to my first sphinx cat. Wish they had a few more food options but not sure they sell enough with the clientele. Good coffee drink, iced lavender mocha.

I had a really good time at the cat café – the space was cozy, the drinks were tasty, and the cats were adorable and well cared for. However, I was a little disappointed that one guest monopolized the kittens the entire time I was there, especially the one that was up for adoption. It felt unfair that no one else had much of a chance to spend time with them, particularly since she had already been there for at least two hours. I think it would be great if the café had some gentle guidelines in place to make sure everyone gets a fair opportunity to interact with the cats.
Overall, it was still an enjoyable visit, but I left wishing I had been able to connect with the kittens a little more.
Additionally, both employees that were working were talking negatively about their boss.. which became really uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, our experience left much to be desired. Within ten minutes, all seven of us felt uncomfortable and wanted to leave.
The most disappointing part was the staff. Instead of creating a welcoming environment, one employee’s demeanor made us feel more like an inconvenience than valued guests. On top of that, rules were not explained to our entire group. If rules are essential, they should be told to everyone at once or consistently communicated and posted in a visible, engaging way, rather than buried on a small 8.5x11 sheet hidden on a wall. Playful, well-placed signage could set expectations without creating tension. One staff member sat and crocheted, starring at us - ready to pounce and yell at a moment’s notice for a rule they didn’t tell to everyone in the group.
The cat room itself felt unkempt. A regular cleaning routine would go a long way, both for the cats’ well-being and for visitor comfort. Even something as simple as offering lint rollers at the end of the visit would show care for the experience.
The space didn’t seem optimized for the cats themselves. A single hard metal structure is not enough enrichment. More climbing structures, shelves, or cozy areas would make the environment both more stimulating for the cats and more enjoyable for guests to observe.
Most concerning, one cat appeared visibly sick. This immediately raised red flags for me, especially as a cat owner myself. I felt the need to wash my hands right away to ensure I didn’t bring anything home to my own 18-year-old cat. Cats deserve attentive health monitoring, and guests deserve confidence that the animals are cared for.
Overall, I truly wanted to love this place. A cat café should be a warm, joyful space where people and animals benefit from the interaction. With improvements in customer service, cleanliness, signage, and cat care, Caffeinated could become that. But until then, I cannot recommend it.
