Café Chato is described as a welcoming cat cafe with a calm, cozy vibe and a plentiful, well cared for feline population that many reviews say is up for adoption. The menu is vegetarian with many vegan options, and the coffee and snacks are praised, though some notes mention that portions can be small and the cafe can feel crowded at peak times. The atmosphere is seen as great for relaxing or working, with wifi and ample space, but weekends or busy hours can become loud and chaotic due to children. The staff are consistently friendly and helpful, and the cats are described as social, affectionate, and good with gentle handling when rules are followed. Cleanliness and upkeep are mentioned variably, with some reviewers noting clean spaces and others pointing to occasional issues, including washroom facilities. Adoption is a recurring theme, with visitors enjoying the chance to meet and adopt cats, though the process may involve applications and interviews. Overall the place comes across as a charming spot for cat lovers to unwind, enjoy good food and drinks, and connect with cats and a supportive community, while suggesting that visiting on weekdays or quieter times yields a more relaxed experience.
I accidentally came across this cat cafe, it's so lovely 😍 I enjoyed surrounded by the cats, good atmosphere there ❤? If you are cats lover, should pay a visit 😊
The place itself is nice, but we were at bit disappointed, we didn't really get to enjoy the experience. Most of the cats were either sleeping or being scared away by the kids. It's understandable, but after a while it became a bit annoying. At that point, it just felt like a regular café. The food was fairly average, & for the price, we expected better.
Un vrai petit havre de paix à Verdun. Ambiance calme, cosy & relaxante, parfait pour décrocher. La nourriture & les boissons sont vraiment délicieuses. & les chats sont absolument adorables 🐾 On voit qu'ils sont aimés & très bien traités, le concept est magnifique. Le personnel est super chaleureux & accueillant, on se sent bien dès qu'on entre. Honnêtement, c'est devenu mon café préféré. J'ai déjà hâte d'y retourner & peut être d'y adopter un compagnon 🐱
The cats are so well taken care of here, it shows in the way they love people & how affectionate they are. They have structures all over the walls for the cats to walk on, & their drinks & coffees are great & decent prices.
Will definitely come back because the kitties are so cute!

Les chats sont adorables, le staff est gentil, l'endroit est bien. Par contre, ne venez pas ici si vous pensez que c'est un café & que vous voulez travailler/étudier. Plusieurs enfants crient & courent comme si c'était un terrain de jeu plutôt qu'on endroit calme.
The coffee & food were okay, the best part is definitely the cats. The souvenir shop is great for any cat lovers. I suggest you go here to lounge or study, as the cats come & go. I recommend especially if you are looking to adopt.

The cats are so sweet &🐱😻 plentiful 🐈🐈?⬛. In this orange kitten I experienced the entire world. Be careful not to step on them, they crawl close to your feet when you crouch.
Everyone seems super respectful of the cats & looks like they know how to approach / interact with them appropriately, which is a relief since there were no instructions or rules told to us. Would be good to communicate some rules just in case, as I wouldn't want to do something wrong by accident (like picking one up?). Again though all the patrons & cats were A1 10/10
This place is awesome! The menu is vegetarian & all the options are delicious. The coffee was well made & yummy. The cats are very well socialized & friendly. There were a lot of children bouncing around, but it was not horribly chaotic. I came on a Saturday which explains that.
