Great place amazing atmosphere & reasonable price. But the kids running after the cats & some people force holding them in the corner kinda sucks but other than that it was an amazing experience.

As an expert with cats, this place was absolutely TERRIBLE. Service was extremely judgy toward my brother & I, (giving us weird looks, whispering to each other, trying to rush us to leave) & there were a bunch of kids making the cats uncomfortable. Do not call yourself a cat cafe if you LITERALLY ONLY HAD TWO CATS, & don't care for those cats. They were visibly scared of those children who were bugging them, their tails puffing up & their ears folded down. Anyone who even knew just a fraction of a cat's body language KNOWS that means they are scared or upset. Terrible experience, food was very messy & dry. Please save your money & don't fund a place that doesn't care for the well beings of the living beings in their control. Cats are not toys, do not treat them as such.

Cat's are nice, but really kids... kids are kids I know, but gotta inform them to not yell or scare the cat smh. Also, the group of 4 at the window kept taking & keeping all the cats to themselves & left none for the rest of us. Really disappointed. Please do something or a rule

Pretty busy place even on a monday (lots of kids) Pleasant & friendly service. I absolutely loved my iced matcha latte with oat milk & lavendar syrup! There was very little ice in it but it was still cold & didnt water down unlike some places. I liked the brand of oat milk they use very much & the lavendar syrup wasnt artifical tasting (I think its homemade).

Such a sweet & wonderful experience at this cat cafe! Usually cat cafes have not great food but this one was incredible! I got an everything croissant with cheese & it was amazing. The hot chocolate had a heart out of foam. Would go here for the food if it was only a cafe! But the cats were soooooo sweet, so well socialized. We saw tons of kids when we went & the cats were so playful & sweet with them. There are spaces for the cats to go that people aren't allowed in if they want a break. But a lot of the cats seem to love socializing & playing. Amazing experience

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.

Good food! Good coffee! The cats are very lovely. I've gone several times now- & the only reason I *wouldn't* return again is the children. Every time I've gone, or any time my friends have gone- there's no expectation for parents controlling their children. Kids are allowed to manhandle the kittens, which is extremely unpleasant to watch. Parents are never expected to control their children's behavior- & I've had young kids crawl under my table & practically upskirt me- or have had children try to play on my table while I have food & drink. I would return if ANYTHING was done about this.

Fun place to go with kids. Cats are everywhere & really friendly. Slow service, but who goes for fast service? People who work there are nice!
