Lovely cat cafe. The owner is charming and helpful and such a great cat person! The cost was very reasonable - $7 per person for 30 minutes. In fact we extended for an extra 30 minutes because we were enjoying ourselves so much. Lots of beautiful cat art and merchandise for sale. Many beverage options; we didn’t try any today, but they looked yummy. I did have the chocolate muffin and it was delicious.
I love this place! Such a great atmosphere and cause. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It’s well-organized, and you can tell everyone cares so much for the cats. The cats themselves are 15/10.
I’m from out of town but I came here twice on my trip and I love it! I fell in love with Squidward one of the resident cats. The coffee was great. The gift shop was great the cats were soo cute and precious. I made sure to make a reservation and get coffee and spend on the gift shop as well since I know it all goes to support the cat cafe to remain open and get these kitties/cats adopted. The wall of Polaroids of adopted cats is what the whole place is about 🥹
I found a beautiful addition to my family here. The staff is so nice and kind to everyone not to mention they make some killer drinks. I will definitely be returning here to spend time with other cats soon. Such a cute place doing great work finding forever homes for cats!
I plan on coming back so often! Not only was my lavender honey drink SO GOOD, but the cats were so sweet. It definitely was better later in the day as the room cleared out pretty quick closer to close if you’re not the most social person like me! The owner was so sweet and we had conversation until it was time to go. Price was fair, cats were ADORABLE, and it was so therapeutic to go there.
We stopped in on a Sunday morning to have some coffee with cats and kittens. You can book a 30-min or 60-min time slot online for a small fee per person to go into the cat room. Most, not all, of the cats are up for adoption! They also have coffee and tea drinks with a selection of baked goods that you can order. I had a seasonal sakura drink with boba and and brownie; both were good. Also, the interior is full of cat artwork, jewelry and other paraphernalia for sale. It's quite the eclectic collection and a purrfect place to shop for yourself or a fellow cat lover. The cats were so sweet! We played with them and got to pet a lot of them. We had one cat trying to sneak into the kitten room, which was funny😸 I had to catch him. No problems and a great time!
