Great place to visit cats! Give and get love from these adorable cats!! 🩷 The drinks were good as well. The only reason why I rated it 4 stars is that the desserts sometimes are overwhelming with sweetness. Me and my family will visit more often!

A charming little cat Cafe. I'm allergic to cats which wasn't a problem because all of the cats are in a separate room. Aside from paying to hang out with the cats you also have to sign off on some rules. They have some tasty pastries and good coffee. Its a comfy space and everyone there is very friendly.

First time in to check out the Upstairs Gallery space for my art show January and February 2024. I'd heard about it but never been in. Upstairs is a great space! It's beautifully done, quiet and even has a bathroom. Downstairs is the main Cafe and separate cat room where you can pay to go in and spend time with the cats. Ingenious concept. So it's basically a cat rescue and Cafe all-in-one. They have done an excellent job with this place. It's beautiful and very clean. They even have parking out back. I didn't try any of the food because I don't do carbs. But the coffee was really good!

Vegan approved!! It was our first time visiting Gem City Catfé, which is a super cool place!! The cat lounge is home to over a dozen adoptable feline friends from their 501(c)(3) non-profit rescue partner, Gem City Kitties. My hubby grabbed a coffee, and I bought a Vegan Apple Turnover made by Baker Benji's. I'm really happy they offer Vegan options. I give Gem City Catfé two thumbs up! #GemCityCatfé #AdoptDontShop #VeganIsNotScary

Gem City Catfe is a charming cat cafe that allows customers to enjoy coffee, tea, and light snacks while interacting with adoptable cats. I recently visited Gem City Catfe and had a delightful experience. One thing I appreciated was the parking situation. The cafe has a small lot behind the building, so parking is easy and convenient. The staff at Gem City Catfe was also incredibly friendly. They greeted me warmly when I came in and were happy to answer all my questions about the adoptable cats. It was clear the staff truly cared about the cats and their wellbeing. Speaking of the cats, they were all so sweet and well cared for. The cafe was clean, and the cats had plenty of toys, beds, and other amenities to keep them comfortable and content. It was heartwarming to see how healthy and happy the cats were. Overall, I highly recommend Gem City Catfe if you're looking for a fun, laidback place to enjoy cats while supporting a good cause. The parking, friendly staff, and cared-for cats all make this spot a winner. I'll definitely be coming back soon!
