Cute coffee shop with even cuter cats! Paid for a 1/2 hour in the cat lounge which was plenty of time for me. Staff was really good about keeping track of the timed visits and keeping the amount of people in the cat lounge limited. I ordered a bottle of water but the coffee drink others were drinking looked good. Would definitely visit again.

One of the best Cat Cafes we’ve seen, and we’ve visited many in many countries. We had the pleasure of witnessing an adoption whilst there. All of the cats were very engaging and very friendly staff. Locals and visitors alike should check out this wonderful venue. Highly recommended!

I think it's great they are helping cats and everyone there is super friendly

We came here from an hour and a half away to celebrate a very special cat lover's birthday and it was totally worth it. While we waited for our reserved time to begin in the lounge area, we treated ourselves to fruit smoothies -- which were delicious. This is such a well kept and comfy place to spend an afternoon. The staff were all very friendly too! Highly recommended.

Such a great place for coffee and cute kitties! Made a reservation online, but they also take walk ins. All the cats were so cute and sweet, and the staff were amazing! It smelled clean, and everything was sanitized between groups. The cats are well cared for, and available to adopt! Would definitely recommend this place to any animal lover.

Loved the cats. It was soo relaxing to be in the midst of those cattos UNTIL some obnoxious kids showed up. They were yelling/freaking out the cats and me! They woke the cats up that wanted to sleep, yanked the cats off the bed, force-picked up cats wearing mittens. I think owners should keep children out or at least keep an eye of children, because some parents are irresponsible and/or lazy.

really great place! :) i really enjoyed my coffee and i had fun petting the kitties (though they didn’t like me too much lol)

Staff are friendly and passionate, cats always seem happy and well cared for, everything is impressively clean, and the adoption process was straightforward / only a bit more money than other shelters. Coffee is good too, they have a very professional setup!

Beautiful cats! Nice people! Wonderful aesthetics! But you had to pay to get to actually see the cats which really disappointed me when I went in. At least the hot chocolate was good.

I love cat cafes, and pretty much any place that benefits cats. So the concept behind this place is great but the execution is a little lacking.The coffee/tea here the couple of times I've been hasn't been great. I never end up finishing mine and I'm a coffee nut, same with the friends I've gone with.I will give them props for the place being clean, the decor cute and it looks like they support local artists and businesses.A big draw back for me, however, is every time I've been there have always been loud kids mishandling the cats and running around and no staff bothering to even pop in the room, let alone say anything to the children or their adult chaperones.The other cat cafe I've been to has pretty clear rules that they go over with each person who enters the cat room. No running, no loud noises, no picking up cats(though they're welcome to climb in your lap if they're comfortable), etc. By comparison this place is a bit of a free for all of obnoxious kids and stressed out cats that leaves me equally stressed.
