Coffee Cats Café has a silly name, but you'll feel good drinking a warm drink here.
There is nothing particularly original about Coffee Cats Café but it is one of my favourite new discoveries along 17th Ave. Its one of those locally owned coffee shops that you just feel better after spending your money there. The owner is a nice woman who runs the shop essentially all on her own. There is also lots of homemade sandwiches, snacks and treats to enjoy and the atmosphere is great.
You know you are hanging out in a cool place when pretty much everyone that comes in is a regular. On my first visit here, a little kid actually went behind the counter to give the barrista a hug! It was a great moment to see.
They don't have WIFI, but what they do have is a great selection of books that you can read while you are sipping your perfect tasting London Fog (medium: $4.45).
If you are looking for a place to put your laptop down and enjoy a great conversation or a quiet read, Coffee Cats Café might be the place for you!
