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.
Les chats sont adorables, le staff est gentil, l'endroit est bien. Par contre, ne venez pas ici si vous pensez que c'est un café & que vous voulez travailler/étudier. Plusieurs enfants crient & courent comme si c'était un terrain de jeu plutôt qu'on endroit calme.
The coffee & food were okay, the best part is definitely the cats. The souvenir shop is great for any cat lovers. I suggest you go here to lounge or study, as the cats come & go. I recommend especially if you are looking to adopt.
The cats are so sweet &🐱😻 plentiful 🐈🐈?⬛. In this orange kitten I experienced the entire world. Be careful not to step on them, they crawl close to your feet when you crouch.
Everyone seems super respectful of the cats & looks like they know how to approach / interact with them appropriately, which is a relief since there were no instructions or rules told to us. Would be good to communicate some rules just in case, as I wouldn't want to do something wrong by accident (like picking one up?). Again though all the patrons & cats were A1 10/10
This place is awesome! The menu is vegetarian & all the options are delicious. The coffee was well made & yummy. The cats are very well socialized & friendly. There were a lot of children bouncing around, but it was not horribly chaotic. I came on a Saturday which explains that.
Stopped by chance & ended up staying for hours. Peaceful, cozy, & full of adorable cats. I was a bit cold inside, but maybe that's just the perfect temperature for the cats, totally understandable! 🐾

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!
