Reviews For Cat Cafe on Whyte

My husband and I came last week and had a wonderful hour! You can tell the cats are super happy and well taken care of. The place is not shabby nor is it run down as another review posted. Also for anyone complaining about the price, the fee goes to an amazing cause and helps keep the place running! It’s not like the cafe is making record profits like big chain groceries for example. So support local and pay a little more! Cats are important.

We love this place and returned for second visit. The frozen hot chocolate was yummy and the brownie was fresh. We discovered the hard way that arriving without a reservation midafternoon on a Saturday is not ideal! But we only had to wait 30 minutes so that worked out well. It was quite busy, especially in the cafe area. We appreciate how they maximize the number of people in the cat lounge and still had a nice visit with the friendly cats!

Great place to meet my new cat friends. The cafe is clean and air quality is good, no smell no hair. Cats are so cute and friendly. I will come back and recommend the cafe to my friends. Big thanks to the lady who introduced a lot about cats.

Great atmosphere, shockingly clean and great drinks and companions. I didn't think a place with 12 cats could be so fur free! There is an entry fee but drinks are included. You need to wear socks! They do have some to buy if you forget.

My daughter chose the cafe for her 9th birthday party and wow were my expectations exceeded! We got the cafe to ourselves for an hour AFTER visiting with the cats and they even decorated it for the party. Super cute. The drinks were delicious and so many to choose from. The ladies working that evening were friendly, efficient and very accommodating. Thanks Cat Cafe!
