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.
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.
Vraiment agréable!!! Les croissants étaient délicieux & le late & le mocha aussi. La présence de chat fait en sorte qu'il y a du poil ;). Mais c'est le but de l'expérience
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.
Good place to spend time with kids or friends. Cats were not in the mood to play at all though. There were not enough younger cats. Older ones kept sleeping. Otherwise, kids had fun playing.

Les chats ont l'air bien, il y a beaucoip d'espace pour eux. Par contre, trouver une place pour s'asseoir & manger c'était l'enfer. Plusieurs personnes sont assises & me consomment pas de nourriture ou de breuvages, sont là pour le wifi. Difficile d'apprécier l'expérience. Le service au table étant impossible, je comprends mais il devrait y avoir des tables réservées aux clients qui ont commandé à manger..
Expectations: 20 cats willing to be petted, good food, everything clean & tidy. Reality: 30 people, mess with boots at the entrance, 5 cats (2 sleeping, one at the roof level, others come & go back to their shelter), tables & chairs are dirty (the staff clearly see it, just ignore until asked). Everyone obviously came here to pet the cats, so if a cat is sleeping just behind you, everyone will come to you even if you are eating. The food... Well it is there, but it is not something worth noting. Visit a friend who has cats, it would be more "cattiful".
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..
Such a cool & relaxing place to take a break. Went with my wife & 5yr old son & we had a great time seeing, peeing & playing with the cats who came around frequently for play or pets before releasing to the taters or shelves for some personal space.
