Dans l'ensemble, Café Chato est perçu comme un endroit chaleureux et apaisant où l'on peut profiter d'un cadre calme et spacieux entouré de chats bien soignés et sociables. Les visiteurs apprécient la douceur des minous, leur curiosité et leur comportement détendu qui permettent de se détendre, de lire ou de travailler lorsque l'affluence est légère. Le café propose des boissons et des options végétariennes ou véganes, ainsi que des pâtisseries et des sandwichs, avec des prix considérés comme raisonnables et une cuisine souvent bien notée. Le personnel est généralement décrit comme sympathique et attentif, offrant un service rapide et des conseils sur les chats; toutefois, le niveau de bruit peut être élevé le week-end et avec les enfants, ce qui peut nuire à l'expérience pour certains qui veulent une ambiance vraiment calme ou qui souhaitent une interaction plus copieuse avec les chats. L'endroit est aussi vu comme une belle initiative pour ceux qui envisagent l'adoption, et l'atmosphère conviviale et propre renforce l'idée d'un lieu idéal pour passer du temps avec des chats et se sentir bien.
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 🧍🏼♀️

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!
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.
There's a lot to love about a cat cafe, especially if you're a cat person who chooses to no longer have cats at home. I love that this is so welcoming, has great drinks & food, & is kid friendly. However, that last point is where it loses a star. The past few times I've visited, there have been kids literally running, screaming, & throwing toys anywhere & everywhere. On one occasion, an employee had to ask a woman several times to calm her child before they finally left (maybe they were asked to leave, I don't know). I understand kids may get overexcited by all the adorable cats, but parents, *please* follow the cafe's rules & encourage your kids to remain calm, which will ultimately make for a better kid-cat experience anyway.
Overrun by kids at all times who annoy the cats. The food is overpriced but okay taste-wise. I've gone three times looking to have a relaxing visit & was met with kids running, & even a baby getting changed in one of the cafe tables. This place has potential, but they should incorporate a booking system or some sort of way to ensure both guests & cats can have moments of peace.

C'est à contre coeur que je laisse une note négative, mais ce café doit s'améliorer pour le bien être des chats. On a vraiment l'impression d'être dans une garderie pour enfants turbulents.. entre les cris, les enfants qui cours partout, la nourriture par terre pour nourrir les chats (alors que c'est stipuler de ne pas le faire), la maltraitance parfois & les parents qui ne disent rien, de même que les serveurs.. En bref les chats sont effrayés, & les clients n'ont pas la possibilité de profiter d'un moment de calme comme devrait le proposer un café, encore plus avec des animaux. & ce cirque commence dès le matin à 10h quelque soit le jour de la semaine après plusieurs essais de mon côté. C'est dommage, car il y a du potentiel & ces petites bêtes méritent un environnement plus serein..
A super cute cat cafe near Verdun station. It's super busy as the day goes on so best to come early to get a seat. There are several adorable kitties wandering around, climbing, playing, or deep into naps. Interactive toys & perches are provided. The cats were friendly & there is a partnership with an adoption agency so many are looking for homes, which is a lovely cause. The entire menu is vegetarian with several coffee options. The service staff were nice & friendly. We tried the cappuccino, cortado, & chili dish. They were okay. We did see several people on laptops, suggesting it is accepted by the establishment, but few power outlets were around. Definitely a mist visit.
This was a nice place & the cats were lovely. It was probably too busy on a Sunday afternoon & many of the cats hid because of the number of people. I would try to go back at a less busy time. The food was good. I'd recommend the raspberry danish. Many of the children seemed to be pursuing the cats through the cafe to other people's tables which unfortunately made them more likely to run away & hide.
So... honestly, for a café, it's pretty average. Some items were reasonably priced, & others were not. If I had to name an item I was truly satisfied with, it was the soup of the day. The soup was done perfectly, with no flaws to me at the very least. I loved it, even though I am often very picky on soup & the flavors from it. I had the berries smoothie, & it was really good. It was honestly very good for the price as well. I did not have the pastries, but my friends who were with me mentioned that it was good. However, the sandwiches & paninj were overpriced & questionable. At the very least... the sandwiches were really small despite their price... (10,45$) There really is not much to say considering that it is a cafe, not a restaurant, nor a bakery. As such, here's the main thing to pay attention to. Surely, if people go to a cat cafe, it's mainly for the cats, not the food. Well, if you're fine with drinks here, then it's definitely worth the visits. The cats were very adorable & playful. The cafe is fairly peaceful, so it is a great place to study & relax around cats. They provide cat toys as well so that customers can play with the cats. Although it is outside of downtown Montreal & that the food is pretty average, I have to agree that it is worth visiting at least once. I think it's also important to mention that they have adorable merchandise at decent prices. I got a pair of cats that can connect with one another, & that was 7$. Another thing: there is another cat café in downtown Montreal. However, I didn't like how it was really crowded, making it hard to relax with cats. So really, this place was great for giving the sense of relaxation & peace.

This is a nice café. Kittens make it super cozy & fun. Although cats are the main attraction, this awesome spot has very good & stable wifi (so lots of work can be completed!) & coffee tastes really good!
L'ambiance est conviviale, par contre les enfants courent partout, crient & ne semblent pas savoir comment se comporter avec les chats. Malheureusement, pas un endroit tranquille pour relaxer, travailler ou étudier. Très dommage, car j'aurais voulu revenir. C'est plus une garderie qu'un café
You can relax with a delicious latte, sandwhich, soup & many more items, sorrounded by cat trees & the cutest little kitties, all of which are adoptable We visited on a Saturday so it was full of cat loving families but we can tell that on a weekday this would be good place for students or people who like to work at cafés, as it is very comfortable & has many electrical plugs everywhere. We passed by quickly on a whim but we definitely need to go back (when there are less people & the cats are awake) Our cat ear headband wearing, album cover art knowledgeable server was also very friendly & swift.

*Expérience vécue un dimanche après-midi* C'est un peu à contrecoeur que j'écris cet avis. Mais vraiment une mauvaise première expérience dans ce café à chat. Le lieu est vraiment bondé, des tables & des chaises partout... Pas vraiment reposant que ce soit pour les animaux comme pour les clients. Les deux serveuses sont donc un peu dépassées & le temps d'attente peut être un peu long que ce soit pour commander ou pour être servi. Ensuite l'établissement n'y est pour rien, mais malgré un avertissement sur les murs à l'entrée... Surveillez vos enfants s'il vous-plaît. Le nombre d'enfants que nous avons vu presque maltraiter les chats était assez aberrant. Entre câlins forcés, tirage de patte, de queue etc... Ces pauvres bêtes à l'adoption méritent mieux.
Très chouette pour les amoureux de chat, menu idéale pour un petit café. L'ambiance est correct mais ça fait un peu cafétéria plus que café mais ça reste très correct. Première fois que je vois des serviettes sanitaire disponible dans les toilettes & ça je vous lève mon chapeau! Merci d'avoir mis une table à langer aussi c'est très pratique.
It was a great experience having a cafe & croissant here.
Cats are very clean, the place also clean.
I will return, from now on this is my favourite catfeteria. :)
Been to a few cat cafes, this had the most lively & cuddly cats with a more easygoing vibe. You don't have to book or pay separately to see the cats, just for the coffee & snacks.
