Review Summary

Café Chato is widely regarded as a charming and welcoming destination that offers a unique combination of high-quality vegetarian food, specialty drinks, and the chance to interact with friendly, well-cared-for cats. Many visitors appreciate the cozy atmosphere and the meaningful collaboration with animal rescue organizations, which allows for potential adoption opportunities. While the space is praised for its cleanliness, friendly staff, and relaxed vibe, it can become quite busy and noisy during weekends due to its popularity with families. Guests often recommend visiting on weekdays for a quieter experience, as the environment is perfect for reading, chatting, or simply enjoying the company of the resident kittens. Although some feedback suggests that food portions can be small or that cat availability varies, the overall consensus remains highly positive, with many patrons returning frequently for the heartwarming experience.

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.

ive been there a couple times now & i usually enjoy it quite a lot. However, it seems to be a recurring issue that employees do not reinforce the rules of not picking up cats or chasing after them which is very unfortunate. I keep seeing children handle cats in a way that they do not like. They also run after cats that clearly want to be left alone. I understand not having an age restriction in a public cafe, but when the children are making the ground shake & CRAWLING under other customers' table, maybe let's interfere. Also, a mother & her two children felt entitled to come into our table in order to pet a cat that was sleeping next to us. The kids literally STEPPED on my friend's bag while the other SAT on our coats. Additionally, a customer came to our table KNOCKED DOWN our cup just to come abruptly wake the same cat for some pictures. There is absolutely no respect for personal space from some of the customers which makes for an extremely uncomfortable atmosphere. Employees are super nice & friendly. They bring your food to your table even! I really do feel like they should be more adamant about reinforcing rules & making sure customers don't disturb other customers. Oh also soup is heavily underseasoned 🧍🏼‍♀️ im still ate it but damn 🧍🏼‍♀️

Making this our final stop in Montreal before heading back to the US was the best decision we could have made. I love the concept & the food was phenomenal & fresh! The cats feel at home & safe with strangers. They'll simply retreat when they've had enough fun. It's clean & there's a good amount of seating. Everyone there was very friendly & polite. Can't wait to come again!

How do they do it? This cafe is a well lit space with high ceilings, great coffee & kitty cats partout! Under armchairs, climbing tree trunks, sleeping on stools. Great spot to work. & sincerely, no cat litter box smell. Enjoy the ambiance & meow!

This place is a true gem. The staff are great despite the rush, & the felines are so freggin adorable. All super sweet & cuddly. Breakfast sandwiches were quite tasty. I think it had pesto. They also have shirts & little trinkets to buy. All very reasonably priced.
