Cozy place with very cute cats! Very nice place for a date, to come to get some work done, or to simply relax. You may or may not leave with a new feline companion :]

The cats are very friendly & playful. It is also very evident that they are well cared for by staff. I am going to miss these cats a lot.

I enjoyed the food. Soup was cozy & the chia seed pudding had a fun texture. I also appreciate the hand-drawn cat art that is on the takeout cup lids :)

At this cafe, you just pay for food/drink & you get to play with the cats during the duration of your stay. I am glad that there are still cat cafes out there that don't make you pay so much to play with the cats. The old cat cafes in Toronto used to operate the same way but all the current ones make you pay a certain amount to just play with the cats only (& it's timed). We need more cat cafes like Café Chato.

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

I brought my nephew to play with cats because I cannot have pets in my house, & he loves pets. Had a blast. He wanted to stay there forever.

Read before you go here. Terrible experience, food was gross, cold, took 15 minutes for some pastries & coffees. Grande coffee served in tiny mug. Gross angry children jumping around scaring all the cats. Smells disgusting, children are hitting the cats & running in between customers to play with them. Save yourself the money & the time, surprised this place has a business licence.

Its cute inside but alot of people & you can't really play with cats, there are a few there but because there are alot of people they are quite timid & it is hard to interact with them.

If you are a cat lover, you will love this place. I find it hard to get work done here because you want to pet all the cats. Or play with them. I went in awaiting for my car, it was nice & quiet, not too much people. I stay for several hours before I left, I found the early afternoon it start to fill. Food was very good & so was the coffee.
Staff is very helpful, kind & considerate. They have wifi while you are there if you.

The cats had all changed since the first time I was there. I was happy to know they were up for adoption. You can get to know your car before you, adoption them & bring them home

There are lots of souvenirs you can buy to help support the cats that living there at the moment.
