| - If your fantasy is to roll around the floor with dozens of fluffy kittens smothering you, I'm afraid you're in for a disappointment. But if you want to interact with 3-4 cats that are lounging around and doing their own cat thing, then this is a pretty nifty place.
The highly anticipated cat cafe is actually made up of two separate areas: a small cafe and a cat enclosure that you can bring your lidded drinks into. We were able to get there soon after they opened and there were already a few people ahead of us. We probably waited 10 minutes to get in. In that time, we bought a tart, some fruit, and a matcha latte. Nothing outstanding, just regular cafe things. One issue is that there aren't really any seats (very limited in the cafe and in the cat space) so most of the time, you're just standing around.
Reading the previous reviews about them being disorganized, I think they've made improvements. They have signs up now that clearly explain you need to purchase something to sign up for the wait list. When your name is called from the wait list, an employee explains the general rules (open one door at a time, don't pick up the cats, take off your shoes, etc.) The people that work there were all very courteous.
Usually there were more people than cats but there were still ample opportunities to interact with them. 3/4 of the cats were very chill with humans in their space (the last one was a bit shy). The black one with white paws rubbed against everyone's legs while purring. :D
Overall, it's a neat experience. Hot beverages are always nice in the winter and I'm pretty sure petting cats is a natural de-stressor. What's great is that they also have an adoption process in place. Come in for a cappuccino, go home with a cat-puccino (sorry).
