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.
Over all this was amazing! The kittens were kind & playful, & the adult cats were calm & sweet! There wasn't as big of a selection of food as I expected, & most of the cats were in the back, but, that's totally understandable! I loved the books & layout of the café! Would definitely recommend!
Personnel attentionné & serviable, viennoiseries délicieuses! Nous avons trouvé l'endroit très accueillant (notamment pour notre garçon de deux qui apprivoisait les chats!). Nous y retournerons définitivement!

Place vraiment sympa, les chats sont adorables & les biscuits Boules d'Energie & choco pacane sont vraiment bon! Par contre si vous cherchez un endroit calme pour étudier ou autres je ne le vous conseille vraiment pas pendant les vacances scolaires… il y aura beaucoup de monde & ce dès l'ouverture
oui j'aime allée avec cette fille qu'elle m'aide pour les activité au restaurant des chats au café chato & lui invité de temps en temps si elle le veut bien les fois que je voudrais lui invité à vôtre restaurant de vous les filles serveuses
Very cute! The cats are all adoptable & come from shelters. It is obvious the owners take good care of them as they are socialized & lovely. The cafe experience is good too.
Decor isnt the cutest but the kitties make up for it !!! sandwich & matcha were good too, the cats are also up for adoption for anyone looking to get a loving furball !!

J'ai toujours voulu des chats mais mes colocs & ma famille y sont allergiques, alors vous pouvez imaginer ma joie lors de ma visite! Les chats sont adorables & ils ont des jouets avec lesquels vous pouvez jouer avec les chats. C'est clair que les chats sont bien aimés & choyés !
It was a really cute place, if you're coming with friends to chit chat & play with the cats then it is a wonderful place, but if you wanna go on a study date I wouldn't suggest it since it is very loud inside & even your voice cancelling headphones won't work. But the kitties are the cutest, literally so adorable they will walk around you, jump on your table & sleep on the couches, & you can adopt them too, which you definitely should!

Cats were super cute & server was lovely. But the tabletops weren't very clean, which was off-putting when I was among the first to visit early in the morning. Considering the many feline occupants, the staff should be cleaning the tables MORE often, not less.
