The place was very nice, but the cats looked sad and annoyed, it was very hot, there is no good ventilation and one of the cats was just desperately scratching the door to get out. I loved the place but I hope they give more attention to the needs of the cats that live there. And when I went, the man who takes care of the cat area did not have a very good attitude :( :( :(

Cats are cute but definitely beware of parking, we went to the parking lots recommended but there were no spaces, we arrived at downtown at 1:20pm for our 2pm appointment. One of my party members entered on time but the 2nd arrived at 2:30pm since they were helping the driver find parking and we only got 20 minutes out of our 1 hour. We spent 97$ as we were planning to have 3 of us join but 1 of our people in the end had to stay back in the car to continue finding parking. Though I’m a little disappointed I recommend coming on maybe an Uber, and if you can’t 100% don’t risk it and cancel the appointment for another day to save money. ????

Visiting cat cafe had been on my bucket list for some time. When my dear friend suggested a leisurely Sunday afternoon visit, I was delighted to have a companion and fellow cat lover to accompany me.Nestled in the heart of the downtown San Diego, this cozy afternoon was a pur-fect treat. The ambiance of your cat cafe is simply delightful! The cat picture frame and drawings on the wall is an exquisite touch that adds a charming and artistic flair.The cafe's staff are very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information about these cats as well as how to interactive with them. The relaxed and joyful cats are evident that the cafe took really good care of them.I really appreciated the thoughtful design of the spacious back room, providing a sanctuary for cats to have the freedom to recharge and relax in a peaceful environment whenever they desire. The abundance of toys and cat furniture at the cafe is truly impressive!. The variety of cat furniture offers plenty of cozy spots for them to lounge as you can see from the pictures I uploaded here.If you're a fellow cat lover, I wholeheartedly encourage you to pay a visit to this charming cat cafe. Not only will you be treated to a delightful experience surrounded by furry friends, but your visit also supports a noble cause. By patronizing the cafe, you're contributing to the well-being of the resident cats and supporting the efforts of cat charities. It's a wonderful opportunity to indulge in your love for felines while making a positive impact on their lives. So why not treat yourself to a purr-fect afternoon and support a worthy cause at the same time?

The staff here Is inconsiderate. I left my backpack at the cafe and they threw it away, even thought I left my phone number with them asking them to call me if they recovered it. It had about $200 worth of my personal belongings in it.

I was visiting the city and randomly found this on Google Maps. I love cats so booked a reservation immediately. The staff were very nice and the cats were all adorable. The iced tea I received was great as well. Definitely go to this cat cafe!

Lovely experience with staff and other guests! The space is charming and the kitties doubly so! Say hello to Jacey if you go; he looks a little gruff, but he's a sweetie!

My daughter wanted to go for her birthday. Lots of cats each with their own personality. You aren't allowed to pick them up and none of them voluntarily came to us. I thought they'd be sitting on our laps. But no, we just went to them and pet them if they let us. Kind of boring for the rest of us (birthday girl still enjoyed). Also you have to be quiet or you'll be shushed. The cats don't like loud noises.

My daughter loves cats and can't have one, so she was thrilled when she heard about cat cafe. I thought it was a bit pricey when I looked it up, but we had the full hour to play with the cats, it wasn't crowded, the staff was very helpful. While it still wouldn't be an everyday thing, it was well worth the cost for a special occasion.

Friendly staff

ew it's emily!

i did not like the experience, first i didn't know you needed a reservation, the admission $20 wasnt too bad of a price, the coffee was okay, the wait was fine the service was speedy and the baristas were very kind but when we got into the cat room i was immediately scolded for not leaving my bag in a cubby i was uncomfortable leaving my bag alone, then after i got scolded for poking a cat, the cat man didnt make it clear that we weren't supposed to do that especially since I'm inexpirenced with cats overall it just wasnt that great of an expirence it was more of a major let down i was expecting more cats as well but i just felt majorly uncomfortable feeling watched by the cat man and the cats deserve better toys for them to play with. i understand the cat man loves cats and is strict but i didn't like that i felt a like i had a spotlight on me and basically making me feel stupid in front of strangers just make the rules more clear or have signs up or something because that really made my experience bad especially for my first time there.

Most cats were hiding, some of them were not friendly at all, the old cat seemed to have an eye infection. I purchased this for my daughter and a couple of her friends and can confidently say it is NOT worth the $20 and we will never go back. Could be so much better with a little more attention to detail, more cats/nicer ones and a better system overall.

We discovered this cafe recently because of a flyer that was left on our vehicle. It looked intriguing and I am glad we decided to go. The great service truly stands out. The coffee was delicious and the cat room was just so peaceful. The gentleman in the cat room also made it entertaining for us there. It is a nice place to visit if you're a cat lover and want a peaceful time.
