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.
The place is great, I was here briefly & I wish to come back & enjoy the place more, the service wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Great place to come study while having some cats around.
An absolute dream! I could not have wished for a better experience. The cats were the sweetest & cutest kittens ever. The food was actually really good (had a panino & cappuccino). Gorgeous atmosphere, I spent 3 hrs there but I definitely could've been there all day
Absolutely LOVED my experience at this cute cat cafe! The drinks we ordered were yummy & the staff were super welcoming. The cats are adorable & very playful! This place has won my heart, I will be returning & recommending it to all of my cat lover friends! 😻
If you love cats & coffee, (but mostly cats), you will be delighted by the atmosphere. The staff is super friendly. They are cats lovers, & they know their cats. Prices are very affordable & a nice selections of coffees & other drinks.
My daughter & I loved spending a couple of hours here with the sweet kitties. The cafe has lots of places for the cats to explore if they wish & toys to entertain them. We also enjoyed the food & beverages.
Super cute location, wonderful place for a yummy coffee or snack around mischievous kittens. Lots of fun cat-related art & merch available. Delicious pastries. Kid-friendly.

Excellente idée d'adoption pour les chats. Ils sont exposés aux enfants & aux autres chats au lieu d'être en cage. Le café offre un bon menu de breuvages & de petits repas/pâtisserie. Il y a aussi la boutique en thématique des chats avec des artistes locaux & j'apprécie vraiment les marques pages magnétique. Je conseille de venir la semaine que la fin de semaines, les chats sont plus sociaux s'il y a moins de monde.
We came here 2 hours before closing & asked for frozen lemonades the guy at the cash said they don't make them. I asked why it was on the menu. He said it wasn't. When I pointed out to him he said actually I don't have any ice left. Just ridiculous on the hottest day of the year so far & still 2 whole hours away from closing time. The guy was just rude & useless & it didn't sit well with me so I left
I love this place! Their matcha latte is excellent & available in a lot of flavours, which I love. I also had the chili & it tastes very homemade & comforting. The cats are adorable & the staff does a great job making sure that they have their space when needed! I like that the cafe has a lot of seating options for different vibes- it makes it very enjoyable to do work there.
The staff love cats & good coffee. I also love cats & good coffee. It's a delightful place to be. They also have books, a play area for kids, amazing cat furniture, & really good meals. I love the curry! The only drawback is that it is sometimes too popular & either gets packed or has several children being a bit loud. Staff do a great job managing this & making sure the cats have a quiet area so that they avoid stress. I recommend coming here later in the evening on weekdays to avoid the big rush. :)

VERT good experience!! I love the cats, I love the ambiance & the music !! I went there right after smoking 🍃 & it made the whole thing 10 times better. The employees are so so so sweet, the cats very well socialized & the food is a solid 10 ! Worth every penny !
Food was good but I was served a coffee in a very dirty mug that had a bunch of residue from someone else's coffee dried up in it, like a thick coat I could scrape off with my nails. The pictures are from about 30 mins after ordering the coffee
I really like this cafe, the food is good & I like that the cats are adoptable & have places to be away from people. But I truly wish parents stopped letting their kids run around like it's a daycare & supervise their children when interacting with the cats! Picking them up when they seem stressed, crawling under other people's tables. I wish the staff had a sign up explaining it's not a daycare & to supervise your children, the poor cats. If you are a parent reading reviews & planning to bring your children here please teach your children boundaries on respecting animals, that includes young children ages 5-6. So many parents don't seem to even look over to what their children are doing or if they do they seem to think it'd alright for their child to grab at kittens. I've seen kids corner some of the cats even, that's horrible! I've seen others say children had sat & stepped on their things & I had the same happen to me too. I've never seen parents let their children run around like this in any other restaurant including other cat cafes. "Child friendly" doesn't mean it's an indoor play park.
my boyfriend surprised me on a date for our 3 months here & it was one of my favourite moments of all time. we are both allergic to cats but it was 101% worth it. the food was delicious & the coffee as well, the staff is extremely friendly & sweet, & most importantly, the cats are adorable & cuddly. i took so many pictures of the adorable kitties to save those memories. definitely recommend going here, i know ill be going back as soon as possible.

One of the best cat cafes all around. Their vegan breakfast burrito is one of the best I've ever had, the Baristas are incredibly friendly & just make you feel like you've been coming here for years even if it's your first time. & of course the cats, if you didn't get your fill of dopamine before you arrive, you'll definitely be full of by the time you leave
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.
