“ Wonderful, a lot of cute art and cute cats inside. Staff is incredibly friendly, it feels like they enjoy being there. There are outside sitting options, indoor seating is very minimal. Busy on weekends. I would like to go often, it's great. ”
“ Truly a delightful cafe. The owners are so good at making the environment feel welcoming and sunny. The cats are so well taken care of, and the owners clearly very much care about them. I have gone here so many times that I can’t count, but every time I have been able to be a lot of wonderful cats and been able to bond with people over our love of these silly kitties. All the drinks and locally made vegan treats are so good! Definitely a great place for a date, a casual hang,or just a little treat. ”
“ My girlfriend booked us an appointment at the cat cafe, and upon arriving we instantly felt safe. The staff were very kind, and the merch was super cute! We got a cat coaster and 2 matching stickers with our pride flags. The cats were well behaved and soooo cute. After our session was over, we got drinks. In honor of pride month we got 2 of the June-only drink specials (lemonade and lavender matcha), which were delicious! When we ordered the person behind the counter joked at us a bit, “ah yes, the two lesbian drinks” and that was the highlight of our day! Amazing and safe place for queer couples looking for a cute date :) ”
“ It's always a joy to visit here! The staff really seem to care about their mission of getting felines adopted! The place is very clean, the cats are in another room and they appear relaxed. One can order teas or coffees and a pastry. Seating is mostly with the felines. Care is taken to ensure cats are not exposed to pathogens and hand sanitizer use is a must. The shop has many cat themed souvenirs or gifts which are for all ages. Note that there is a ten dollar fee to visit with the cats and the fee goes towards their care and keeping the cafe operating costs. Appointments are recommended as spots with the felines fill up quickly though you can try your luck as a walk - in. The parking lot is small so plan ahead or park on the side street. It's extremely pleasant for me and relaxing for me as well. I am thrilled that they seem to get hundreds of cats adopted! ”
“ absolutely adore this place and so happy it’s near by! the drinks are amazing, the kitties are very sweet and the service was amazing and all of the staff is so nice and have amazing style. will be back again, please get these kitties adopted! ”
“ Upon walking in, this coffee shop immediately felt like a home away from home. My girlfriend and I shared a pastry with a resemblence of a at-home baked twix bar. It was very fluffy and creamy at the same time. It was delicious. I had the vietnamese coffee and from my girlfriend's memory, she had the "Calico" caramel latte. I loved both of the drinks. Neither was too sweet or too strong. The two baristas were very kind and very knowledgable about the kitties. This coffee shop has a tiny store, all kitty themed items. Some of these items are a tiny bit overpriced for a regular store, but this feels just right for a small business, and I will happily support small businesses like this. I purchased a bumper magnet with an unbeatable price tag of 9.75. The atmosphere feels like youre at your best friends house, and they just happen to have cats. All of the kittens we met today were very cute. Every one of them had there own personality. Travis, the orange cat, was the nicest orange cat I have ever met. He relaxed in his orange chair with his sushi roll. Nala and Bobby were very cute kittens, we had just been in for their nap time. At the end of the day, this has been the best date my girlfriend and I have had. I highly suggest this place for any cat loving couple. It would be a fantastic place to do school or career based work on a laptop for an hour and having the time of your life. ”
“ Staff and owners here are incredible people. Drinks and snacks are amazing! Space is small but so homey, and they have a cute porch for covered outside seating and an open outdoor seating area in the back. The food trucks here are always the BEST! Yesterday is was Season It Up and it was the best crab cake (vegan) I've ever had!!! AND THERE'S CATS! ”
“ This is literally my favorite place on earth, and I cannot believe I haven’t left a review yet!!! The owners (a lovely couple) are so sweet and welcoming, the vegan treats and drinks are delicious, and oh my me, the cats! They curate such a comfy and loving environment for the kitties, and they’ve adopted out I believe almost 500 at this point?! The area with the cats is so cozy, and there are lots of snuggly spots and toys to play with for the babies. I always have a wonderful time here, and it’s such a lovely treat after a long day at work. There’s also a ton of super cute art by local artists for sale that’s always fun to peruse!! These folks clearly care about investing in the community. Be sure to make a reservation online before going! ”
