The Cat Cafe

Awesome friendly cafe. Drink or food with admission. I would go for the drink since there are food motivated cats. Good amount of space and cats are friendly. I had Jacey in my lap for a while and Winnie was very playful. Love playing with some cats and made me miss my own kitties. Follow the rules and respect the cats but you can at least be able to pet one or more cats. I went in the morning and had a great time. Will love to go again with my husband.

Coffee was delicious, environment was clean, calm, and peaceful. Barista was friendly but the person working in the cat room made me feel stupid for asking reasonable questions🤦‍♀️😅 I overrall would still recommend here and id come again. The cats were well kept and seem very happy here! They’re all up for adoption, and we were welcomed to take photos with the cats as long as there was no flash photography. ❤️🐾🐈‍⬛☕️love love love !

Cat Bite Resulting in Doctor Visit I'd like to preface this review by saying I grew up with cats and have owned several rescues, including one with behavioral issues. I feel that I am knowledgeable about when a cat is demonstrating behavior that indicates that it is annoyed and would like to be left alone. I visited the cafe with a friend on Monday 1/15/24 and was bit VERY hard by a calico cat who would NOT let go. This was without warning after I let it sniff my hand to ensure she was comfortable prior to me petting it. The bite resulted in a deep puncture wound and drew blood. The cat did not demonstrate any signs of aggression prior to this. Another guest stated she was bit by the same cat on her arm, but it did not break skin. The bite resulted in me going to a doctor and getting a prescription antibiotic due to a skin / soft tissue infection. My hand is very swollen and was painful to the point where I was having a hard time even getting to sleep the night I was bit despite me taking antiinflammatories for it. The gentleman supervising the visits seemed very unapproachable and I didn't bring it up to him because I felt like I would be reprimanded from what previous reviewers had said about their interactions with him. The man did not give any warnings until later that this cat liked to "nip". I would think that a cat cafe would house animals that are better socialized. I understand that several of the cats were still acclimating, but staff should be more cautious about introducing them if they are known to bite. There were several children at my session and I am glad they didn't get bit. I felt this was a very overpriced experience all things considered. I have been to several other cat cafes and this did not compare. The cat area did not have a relaxing / cozy atmosphere. There were not enough chairs and tables for everyone to sit at, resulting in my friend and I sitting on the floor some of the time. I felt that the ratio of humans to cats was off where it limited how much you could interact with the cats one on one. There were not many magazines, games, a TV, etc. that guests to engage with in the room either. If the cats were sleeping or uninterested, you basically had to twiddle your thumbs the whole time. We couldn't wait to get out of there! That being said, I do feel like the cats are well cared for and it is good they are giving them the opportunity to get adopted. However, I think being more selective about which cats they bring in would be less of a danger to guests.

My kid likes cats so we’ve brought her here a few times for special days. The cat room attendant is nice and will answer questions about the cats. The gentleman at the cafe is very nice and will help kids find a non-coffee drink they might like. Our drinks (iced chai and vanilla frappé) were good. The cats were a mix of lounging and playing. There’s an assortment of cat toys around the room to use. The cat room is quiet (for the cats), clean and comfortable with a/c and air purifier. Will definitely keep visiting. Pay for parking lot 2 streets over, or metered street parking all around the neighborhood.
