The Colony Café has to be by far one of the coolest places I have ever visited.. while living in the burg!! Located on Penn Avenue just across from the Amtrack Station. As a huge cat lover.. I couldn't wait to check out. Its been open for about a year now .. so overdue. My boyfriend is too a cat lover so I surprised him with this "after" valentines day present. Making reservations on the website was a breeze!! $8.00 an hour per person - not bad at all!!! There are other packages available that include wine too. 1 hour was plenty. Our reservation for 11 AM on a weekday..we arrived early at 10:45 AM. I inquired at the café if we were permitted to go up to the loft a few minutes early and of course it will just be an hour but it had to be at 11 .. our reservation time. No problem.. I ordered a coffee with a shot of espresso in it. Sandwiches were available to order too but we just had a big breakfast. So when we were told it was ok to go up to "cat loft" I was the first.. couldn't wait! Walking up the stairs and seriously yinz.. it was cat heaven!!!
There was 12 cats - happy and playful .. most were very social!! Such a happy atmosphere for the cats. The hour flew by and we fell in love with every single cat!! Each cat has a name tag with their name. Most cats were all ready adopted which was amazing. 98 adoptions to date.. Bravo!!!
If you are a cat lover you must experience Colony Café!!!
