We stopped in to Java Cat for a few coffees before running errands on a Sunday afternoon. Java Cat definitely has that old school coffee shop vibe with an obvious love for cats. There are signs hung up all over the walls with coffee and cat lingo. Plenty of tables are available if you're in the mood to drink your coffee in House. They have bakery and hot breakfast items and some soup and sandwich type options for lunch. They also have pastry and dessert items, including gelato. Can't go wrong there.
Our coffees tasted great. I ordered an americano with a splash of steamed soy milk. It was perfect. My friend ordered an almond milk caramel latte, which she said was average, and my partner ordered a black americano. While it's hard to mess up coffees, what sets Java Cat apart from other coffee shops is its neighborhood flare, cat inspired decor and food. A nice option for those in Monona.
