Many reviews describe Café Chato as a cozy, welcoming cat cafe where well cared-for cats roam and some are available for adoption; visitors praise the friendly staff, a relaxed atmosphere, and good coffee with vegetarian options. Some feedback notes weekends can be crowded and noisy, making it harder to interact with the cats, and a few comments mention cleanliness issues. The cats are the main draw, described as calm, sociable, and well loved, with several accounts of potential adoptions and a sense of care for their welfare. The cafe also garners praise for its contribution to cat welfare and the friendly ambiance that makes it a go-to spot for studying, socializing, or simply enjoying time with felines. Overall, Café Chato is portrayed as a popular destination for cat lovers that offers a welcoming vibe, decent drinks, and an emphasis on adoption.
Amazing cat café. The owner really takes good care of the cats along with the staff as well. They are also up for adoption. Good place to sit & relax & enjoy some healthy vegetarian food & a coffee/tea or a fresh beverage.
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 🐱
Great place to go relax with the cutest cats. Latte & sandwiches were pretty good too! Washroom could use a good cleaning, but other than that I will be back!
This place is a gem! From the moment you walk in, you can see how happy & healthy all the cats are. Their coats are incredibly shiny & smooth, a real testament to how much the owner cares. Paired with a great cup of tea in such a cozy setting, it made for a perfect, relaxing visit. Highly recommend!

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.
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!!! 🥰
Great place to relax & enjoy time with cats if you don't have one at home. Also service is excellent & excellent choice for tea, coffees with pastries.

Super endroit pour ceux qui aiment les chats. J'y suis allée le matin avec mes enfants de 18 mois & 3.5 ans. Ils ont adoré jouer avec les chatons. Beaucoup de jouets pour jouer avec les chats, un tableau & des craies pour dessiner & une ambiance relax. Une belle sortie à faire. En pm, j'y suis déjà allée mais les chatons ont tendance à dormir donc on n'intéragit pas autant avec eux
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.
What an amazing experience! It was simply amazing 😍 The cats are very friendly & playful. The adult cats are calmer & love patting, the kittens love playing (& some also love patting). You can't get enough of them. The coffee & the matcha latte were excellent. Point out that it was the 1st time that I drink matcha latte(& without even sugar) & it tatsed really good. The ladies at the cashier were very friendly. The ambiance is really beautiful, it's the perfect place to relax, enjoy a cup of coffee & enjoy the presence of cats.
Loved the experience! Staff were friendly, the cats were lovely - we got to pet a lovely fellow named Cookie - whoever adopts him will be lucky! The food was delicious, & the smoothies were great. The only thing to be aware of is that it took awhile to place our order; we didn't mind the wait, however this might not be the best place to go to if you're in a rush. I loved that the welfare of the cats was clear in both the rules & the set up of the cafe. It made it a very relaxing & enjoyable experience.
A fantastic café where you can relax & watch adorable cats do their thing; play, roam around & relax. The yogurt & granola was great & the cappuccino is awesome. Staff are very friendly & the cats are curious & come to greet you every once in a while. If you get here early enough, or when it's not too busy, the window sofa is ideal if you want to maximize your CPM (cats per minute). There are several beds along the window where the cats love to bask in the sun. The cats may come up to you if you're polite enough & they're in a social mood. In case you're concerned about cleanliness: the café is very clean. There isn't fur floating around everywhere either. From what I've seen, the cats are treated with respect from staff & customers alike & they have plenty of room to jump & climb but also a lot of spaces to relax or get away. You can even adopt the cats that are here if you're looking for one.
