The only issue I had was my husband and I went in and paid for an hour to visit with the cats. We went as soon as the cafe opened, so we were the only people there, which was great. 15 minutes after that, 3 other people came in . One of the people had a laser pointer to play with the cats. Naturally, all 8 cats left the room were in and spent the rest of the time with themWe left and lost 30 minutes.

One of the best cafes I've been to. It's a calm, quiet, and pleasant atmosphere with some amazing coffee and a friendly server. The cats are very friendly and curious—but be careful if you get a cookie! They will try to eat it for you! Overall, a wonderful place I'd love to visit again.Dietary restrictions: For those who are lactose intolerant or vegan, they have some alternative milk options.

Great cat cafe! The cats are always playful here. The coffee and drinks are really good too

Kara Hunter

An amazing quaint, cozy little place to enjoy kittys while enjoying the company of friends and coffee! Definitely recommend! 10/10Kid-friendliness: Some kitty’s are rescues so they scare easily, but most of the kitty’s are EXTREMELY well behaved and are looking for a comfy lap to sit and snuggle on!

Amazing staff and coffee. The cats are clearly very loved and very well taken care of! Love that they have rules in place for the safety and wellbeing of the cats. Shows how much they take caring for the cats seriously. Was very cheap compared to other cat cafes. Me and my friend can't wait to return next Thursday! Highlight of my week.

Just found this place today and I’m in love! Friendly service, the coffee is pretty tasty as well and all the cats are so cute! I expected some to not be as friendly but they were all very nice and cuddly. There was a couple that would follow you and sit in your lap, I forgot his name but the one addicted to whip cream was by far the best.

Such a cute place to visit and pet all the kitties. Our daughter had an audience when she pulled out the cat toys to play. The Chai Latte was delicious as well!

Jasmine Jennings Pierson

Nice concept but they don’t advertise that it costs $ to visit the cats. Furthermore the barista was snooty and weird about us needing to take our kids to the bathroom. Negative experience overall.

Summary: superb coffee, fun atmosphere, great place to chill yourself or with some friends or family!I got a plain latte, as I usually do and it was exceptionally tasty- bold and smooth.I stumbled on this place on the way home from a family outing and thought I’d treat everyone to a fun experience- and fun it was!You pay a fee to get in the 3 rooms where the cats are and you must chill and pet them as they come up to you. There’s little toys if you want to try to entice them to play.I highly recommend going here, even if you only like coffee- there’s plenty of seating away from the cats, with a book area and a table.My family knows I’m not normally a cat fan, but I had a good time!All in all it was a great experience and we’ll certainly be back soon- me mainly for the coffee, my family mainly for the cats.Parking: Parking was just on the street, but it wasn’t busy when we went on the weekend so not at all difficult.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly- all my kids went in with the cats and had a great time!

We stopped by Cool Beans to spend some time with the kitties. They are all rescues and available for adoption. I had a Carmel macchiato that was pretty good. The cats were a bit timid, but happy to play with you. There are lots toys around for you to engage with the cats. A few were cuddlier than others.Cool Beans has a very relaxed energy and the decor is quaint and cute. It is clear the kitties are all well taken care of. I would totally recommend this cafe to all cat lovers!

I have gotten coffee here twice and spent an hour each time in the cat rooms. It is divided into 3 sections that are fairly private, so if there are several groups you can spread out. The staff was friendly and the cats have always been fun, even the shy one that hid under the chair and kept trying to drag toys under with her.
