Absolutely disgusting. I thought this would be a great place to have coffee with my daughter-in-law and grandson, both of whom love cats. I’m glad we only ordered coffee. Once we went through the door to the cat room, the smell was atrocious. There’s no way we would have eaten in that room. It smells like seventeen dirty litter boxes (though there are only two). There is nothing that makes it worth it to breathe in that smell, but we’d paid for a half hour, so we stayed for a half hour. The employees know it stinks in there, but where they are, with a door closed to the cat room, it smells just fine. They wouldn’t work there if they had to breathe in that stink all day. And before anyone questions me, I have two cats. I am not intolerant. This place is gross. Also, there are few parking spaces. I didn’t see sandwiches or even pastries. Not that I would have wanted any.

I haven't tried much of their food, but let's be real here...you go for the atmosphere, to pet kitties, not so much for the food. 😸 We adopted one of our fur-babies from here, and we love him so much. Don't go to a pet store...adopt your next fur-child from a place like this!

The smell is so strong, I realize it’s a cat cafe but the smell is revolting when trying to eat or drink food. Not enough seating in the cat room. The atmosphere feels weird.

What coffee shop stays closed on Mondays? U got business people and students that start out their week with coffee especially on Mondays. That's ridiculous. The owner needs to go back to school.

Emphasis on the cat experience plus some owners close certain days for religious reasons

Is there actually cats in the cafe

Fatima Chavez | Nov 3, 2018
Jessica Bassett | Nov 3, 2018

Yes, they keep adoptable cats in one half of the building, and the cafe itself on the other half. You do have to reserve a time for the cat side though.
