This is such an amazing place to visit with cats and maybe bring one home. I love everything they're doing here.

I am on the cusp, there was good and bad. When you first walk in the Cafe it is very small and crowed, I was expecting a more quiet environment honestly. It was very loud. The group of people that had the same time slots as our party was a total of 10 people including my group of 4. We were hoping for a more personal experience with the cats. I completely expected a smell…….but not to the degree it actually smelled of cat urine. It was very pungent. It was like a brick wall hitting you in the face when you walked in the cat area. If I’m being honest I gagged until I got used to the smell. The actual area to interact with the cats was quite clean and they had games for customers to play and lots of toys for the cats and lots of places for the cats to hang out and hide. The design of the cat room was super neat. With shelves and ceiling fixtures all of which the cats could get to. The books on the tables made my group giggle. They were quite funny. It’s very awesome this establish is doing so much for these cats. It’s a great idea and concept. The staff were nice and very quick to serve and the price for food beverages were good. And the snacks and coffee were tasty too. They previously advises us to use caution when interacting with the cats but sadly there was only one cat out of all 15 that let people actually pet it and it was a blind cat. The cats that we’re there this time seemed nervous, aggressive & scared. Most of them hissed, swatted and scratched myself or some one in our party. The back room with the litter boxes could stand to be attended to and cleaned. There was also a cat that kept eating plastic and the worker knew and took it away from the cat but later didn’t seem to mind he was eating it again. I’m pretty sure is dangerous for a cat to eat plastic. There were 2 cats that were more friendly then the rest but it was short lived after about 20 minutes and they began aggressive. I’m sure it’s a struggle for these cats to be around other cats and people they are unfamiliar with. And tempers can flair. I feel like maybe some of the cats were more stressed out and it probably was not the best atmosphere for them for the cats and customers safety. Over all it was a decent experience. Thank you for taking in these cats and trying to rehome them to give them a better chance at life and home of there own.

This establishment does excellent work, the staff are highly knowledgeable about the cats in their care. Any questions were met with informed answers. They truly care for the cats of the cafe and it shows. Any medical or dietary restrictions are explained to prospective adopters to make sure that these cats are a proper fit. Plus the coffee drinks are excellent.

One of the best experiences I’ve had at any cafe in my life. Found it by chance because the place I always would go to was closed. The staff was so kind and accommodating and the cafe is so unique. Even though we couldn’t go inside with the cats because it was reserved up due to Valentines Day, we had an amazing time watching them through the glass. The menu is unbelievable. Standard coffee/ espresso drinks made with the best quality but also unique things for people with a sweet tooth and also, the option for unsweetened ceremonial matcha- which is something that I was excited about because you don’t see that often with the option to get it in the form of a latte. Cute things to buy from local artists. I had to leave with a succulent planter which my friend and I decided was my personality the most. Someone was training a cat to sit at a post right by our table and put the cutest flower hat on it. I thought that was a kind gesture because we couldn’t go inside. Nothing but pure joy from our experience. The cats are treated with such care it’s so wonderful to see. You could tell this cat was completely unfazed by the hat and it was on loosely and never tried to take it off for at least an hour that it sat by us and just chilled.Dietary restrictions: They worked extremely well with my dietary restrictions- which are many compared to the average population. I usually can’t get anything special to enjoy but they made a vegan milkshake from the menu in a very unique way with the only type of milk I could have and changed the flavoring they usually add and even added coffee bc I requested it, I wanted the ice cream with coffee on top but I really wanted something to sip on. They had no idea if it would taste okay because they changed almost everything about it but it was the only way I’d be able to drink it. They will do anything to accommodate you and let me tell you it was one of the best drinks I’ve ever had ?????

Took my daughter here to adopt a cat. We were turned away because we didn’t have a reservation. Place was clean people were nice. Website should just say you MUST have a reservation because there was only 1 person in the place and they wouldn’t even let us look. If you want to adopt a cat just go to the APL and skip this place. If you need to have coffee with cats make sure you make a reservation. On the upside if they are turning away business there is an opportunity for someone to step in and offer some competition.

I’ve been here quite a few times with my boyfriend and it is so much fun! The coffee is delicious and it is so fun getting to visit with the cats. 10/10 would recommend!!

Cat Cafès are notoriously rare, and I'm glad to say I found one in Cleveland. Firstly, if you want to sit with the cats in their play area, you have to make a reservation, as they can only have so many people at a time. If not, you can still order coffee and brownies in the café, which is a separate section. Coffee was pretty good, and the brownies I thought were good. But that's probably not why you're here! The cats are so so cute! And they're also available for adoption, so if there's a cat who you are particularly fond of, you can take em home! A very cool spot nevertheless and I will definitely making more feline friends when I come back :)Parking: Area is very small, you may struggle to find parking here on mornings or weekends. Free parking lot behind the building.
