Reviewers describe Café Chato as a charming cat cafe with a calm, cozy atmosphere where the resident cats are well cared for, playful, and easy to bond with, and where climbing structures and plenty of space make it feel welcoming for both lounging and cat watching. The drinks and menu lean vegetarian and vegan options, with many happy about tasty coffee, sandwiches and pastries and reasonable prices, while the cat focus remains the main draw. The adoption aspect is highlighted in several reviews, giving visits a meaningful purpose beyond cafe culture. The vibe is relaxing on weekdays, ideal for studying or unwinding, but weekends can get noisy and crowded with kids, which some find distracting or less ideal for the cats. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and knowledgeable, contributing to a warm welcome, though a few mentions point to occasional cleanliness or noise issues. Overall, Café Chato is seen as a top pick for cat lovers seeking a humane, enjoyable space with good food and a strong sense of care for the animals, with a reminder to check the crowd level if seeking quiet time.
J'adore! Le meilleurs café à chat
J'adore le fait que ce soit végétarien avec des option vegan
En tant que vegan jetait très surprise du nombre de choix
C'est cool que les chats soit en adoption !
This is one of the better cat cafes. The cats are very relaxed & not stressed out. The environment is calm, very spacious. Cats have their own space. The staff are super friendly & very knowledgeable about each cat's personalities. The coffee & choice of menu items was diverse. My friend had a grilled cheese with pears. The atmosphere is very calm & relaxed & you can tell that with the cats that they are not stressed out like some other places. Also, I do want to give a shout out that I love the thought that was put into this cafe including the washroom having feminine hygiene products available for customers is above & beyond, I wish more places did that.
Tellement une expérience originale. Ce café rassemble les générations, des plus jeunes aux plus âgés, autour de l'amour des chats! On peut boire un bon café (glacé l'été), il y a des pâtisseries & des soupes & sandwichs. Les chats qui sont là peuvent être adoptés aussi.
Chouette café. Je déconseille les fins de semaine si vous voulez profiter de l'expérience pleinement. Beaucoup de bruits & d'enfants . Pensée spéciale a l'équipe qui fait preuve de beaucoup de patience d'ailleurs.
There were only 4 cats around. Two were napping, one was hiding under a couch & the one remaining kitty was not interested in the 20 other people in the cafe who were trying to get its attention.
If you are looking for some one on one kitty time, this is not the place.
Amazing drinks & food, even lovelier atmosphere. the kitties are so sweet, it's a great place to do work & relax. I love this cafe, & they even have a great merch collection!!! 🥰

The best café I've found in Montreal (the cats alone might justify it), but even more so, their prices are reasonable, everything is vegetarian, & the food & drinks are amazing! Plus, the workers are super kind & seem genuinely passionate about their job-they're always happy to chat.
LE cat café par excellence à Montréal! Les chats y sont heureux & bien traités par le Refuge Animex, qui gère également leur adoption. Attention à vos muffins & croissants, il y a parfois de petits voleurs à pattes qui s'y intéressent!
Cute café, that's sure to get you your fill of cat love & offer you a nice atmosphere to work or spend times with friends ! It's usually not too noisy, but if you go on "Adoption Day", it may not be the most relaxing space to be in. The cats are from a rescue & are up for adoptions. I've had the latte & the matcha latte which were both amazing ! The coffee beans seem to be a medium roast, so it does offer a more round & full-bodied flavour that isn't too acidic or fruity in notes. Only downside, in my opinion, is that I've received the wrong order in the past & when I went to inquire about it, I was turned back & told that was what I ordered. As someone with food intolerances & dietary restrictions, it makes it a bit more anxiety inducing & concerning.
