Mauhaus Cat Cafe

My friend and I made an appointment to visit on a Saturday afternoon. When we arrived, we were greeted immediately. As this was our first visit, we were given a brief orientation. After ordering our drinks, we went in to meet the kitties. It was a fun hour of petting cats and swapping stories about our own pets with others. When we left, my friend and I agreed that we both felt less stressed and more relaxed than we had been. We'll definitely visit again.

Wonderful experience! Cozy atmosphere, clean environment, wonderful staff. Made reservations online. It came with a complimentary beverage for making reservations online. Checked in quickly and had our wonderful cat experience. One hour wasn’t enough for my son, he wants to go back. We loved it!

We can't own cats and my kids, specifically my oldest, loooves cats. She had the best time. Everyone was super friendly and the items to purchase were very fairly priced. I love that if you book ahead online you get a free drink!

I set up our time slot ahead of time online and we got a drink to go with our visit. The pastries we ordered with the online discount were reasonably priced and very delicious. The cats seem happy and well loved, a few are a bit spicy but as a cat owner myself I just leave them be if they are overwhelmed. Wide range of cat personalities present, but all of them fluffy and adorable. I will probably come again!

This is the best cat cafe in the area! The staff is so friendly and helpful! The coffee drinks are delicious and they make their syrups in house. There are a variety of drink options and pastries. We enjoyed our time with the cats and sharing pictures of our own cats with the other customers. We made reservations in advance and were given a complimentary drink from a special menu. If you choose to get a different drink, you get a discount on that drink. With a reservation, you also get a discount on pastries. Making reservations was super simple online and I was able to make it for the same day.

A really lovely place to visit if you’re a cat person! The staff here are very friendly and attentive, both to you and the cats. It’s clear that they genuinely care about the happiness of every cat living here. The cats are adorable, each with their own unique personality. Some are especially affectionate and will completely melt your heart! The price is affordable—$12 includes admission and a selection of drinks, such as iced tea or coffee, at no extra cost. However, some specialty drinks require an additional fee. It would be even better if visitors could stay longer than an hour! This makes the pricing explanation clearer and aligns with what you want to convey.

Mauhaus is an enjoyable experience for toddlers, young children, or anyone who just really likes cats. Online reservation is possible, but I have never seen the cat room too full to admit additional patrons. Most cats are friendly, but use good judgement -- especially around kittens. The pastries and beverages are surprisingly good. Staff are very friendly. The only downside is the ever-present smell of cat urine, but I believe that's the baseline for pretty much all cat cafes.

I absolutely loved playing with the kitties. As I had lost my own cat 3 months ago and really miss that interaction with my cat, it was so lovely to have that kitty time in a nice space where it is clear that the kitties are well cared for, super clean, and just a great place to grab a coffee and pastry. I enjoyed it so much that I put in an application to adopt kitties.

Mauhaus is just the best place in the world! Great music, great coffee and AMAZING kitties! I always feel so at peace here. I highly suggest making a reservation so you can go right in to see the cats when you arrive. Defintley try their coffee it's soooo good. They also have delicious pastries.

I never made a review about this place saying how good it was. Wow. Cat Cafe, specifically this one is a real frown wiper. A real confetti popper. A real cheer whooper. The organization of this place is WONDERFUL. Cleanliness is spot on and safety is on top for the customers and the cats. Staff was so, so so nice. We had a real good, long conversation just about cats alone and was so kind to go over procedures and explain everything. Food was also good. I've only been here three times so I haven't got enough samples to write a full review. From what I know, It's good alright! I recommend the brownie. Warning that part of it is bitter though. I love this place! The neat yet miscellaneous deck of aestethic and how they serve gives so much liveliness. Please expect me again for a fourth time. Can't wait to fill out my stamp card fully!

Great concept. You come in and order your drinks such as tea or coffee - and can get a pastry or muffin or cookies - and then you eat it in a room with about a dozen cats that have been rescued. The cats are generally friendly and playful. We petted some that just took it in and purred - yet these cats also played with several with their toys. You can get a 30-minute stay or an hour. We went during "off hours" so took an hour - and it flew by. I'd say probably reserve at busier times like mornings or weekends.

What a great place. I was definitely impressed with their expansive cat habitats. The chai tea was great. My son liked the Peppermint mocha. Both the chocolate chip cookie and the Apple Butter Snickerdoodle were delicious. We will be back to play with the cats as well as a nice snack!

Short: Amazing Cat Cafe experience, everything you would hope for! Visited around late July '23 I made morning reservations online, which came with a free beverage & discount on other drinks/pastries. There was a family in the cats play area. There was one staff/barista who instantly greeted me and gave me the run down for a first time visit. Along with showing me the free beverage selection. The muffins were being baked so it smelled lovely. There's quite a few cats, cat toys, and cat structures. Employees were helpful in navigating you to the environment & rules (like don't pick up the cats). I definitely recommend if you want a cat cafe experience and to book your experience online! Also, the cat cafe portion with the cats, is an open layout, so others might be playing with the cats you're interested in too. Love love love to come again! Definitely a place for cat lovers!

Never in 1 million years would I have thought of this business model for myself, but it is genius! It seems as if they were printing money based on the city flow of everyone in and out of the café with reservations for one hour at a time. Obviously, you come here for the cats and there's also some really good coffee too. Adults can have a one hour reservation for $11 and children under 12 for $6. Included with your reservation as a complementary beverage, they have little hot chocolates, juices and milk like chocolate and strawberry, and Italian sodas for the kids. They also have hot and cold chip coffee with flavors as well for the adults. If you do not want any of these options you can also opt for anything else on their menu at 25% off. They also have a small gift shop in the corner with cute little items to purchase. We decided to opt to stay with the cats and the coffee, such a great combo. The staff was really warm and welcoming, we really enjoyed our time there, and it is such a treat that we will try to make it a more regular thing.

I would highly recommend this cat cafe!! The cats were super friendly and cute. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the cats and any questions we had. The coffee was delicious and they said they use local espresso from a place in maple wood. I got one of their monthly/seasonal coffees, I believe it was called the bossy moxie. Will definitely be back!

Very lucky to have Mauhaus in the St. Louis region because usually cat cafes are not as good as this one. Came during COVID, but they took many safety precautions to make sure that we felt safe. You do need to have a party of maybe 4+ people to make a reservation as you have one hour of free time with all of the cats. They have a capacity of 18 cats and all of them are extremely friendly and will let you pet them which is great! They are not shy around humans and if cats are your thing, it will be the best $10 you have ever spent. Also a bonus is that their free drinks that come with your ticket are also pretty good. Definitely recommend if you are ever in the region and I will definitely be back.

Just okay as cat cafes go, and we've been to several. My daughter and I came by just to visit the cats, the food was just secondary--good thing because the food was just meh. The workers were polite. The cats mostly kept to themselves, not one of them approached us but we quietly sat by whichever cat was accessible. The environment is okay, not upscale and cool but more homey. While we were there, only 3 other people came. We mostly had the place to ourselves. Interesting experience but we don't need to return.

I was treated differently from other customer here and the place smells like dirty cats. Instead of allowing me to buy a spot and sit in; initially I was told I needed a reservation. When i finally did get in I was given a huge paper to say what time my visit would be over (1 hr paid/$20 ). None of the other patrons were given this sheet. They say don't touch the animals but I witnessed several people touching, chasing, picking up and poking at the cats. I got "get out" vibes here and would not recommend it to any POC. I was low key scared of the aggressive way one of the workers addressed me; next time I'll visit a animal shelter

Can confirm-there are cats. 10/10 would cat again. At first I was thinking, "Woah. Cool. Maybe it's a mouse burger joint." Nope! Totally cats. Lots of cats. Coffee and pastries too. Nice.

Fun place to take a child (who can be gentle + patient and potentially take a couple of hits from cats). I imagine it would be therapeutic even (if you visit yourself). One time we went, i believe they had 17/18 cats (i think 18 is their limit?); it was slightly overwhelming (kitty litter smells and sick kitties). I think overall, it is awesome they help to showcase the cars for adoption! Would definitely visit again. Cafe drinks are really good! And staff are always nice!

This place is so charming! The set up for the cats is outstanding, the cats all seemed to love it there. It smelled fine as well despite there being so many. I had jasmine tea as well that was very yummy. The worker in the room was kind enough to take a photo of my family when asked, we went for Father's Day. I expect to come back when and if I can!

If you're crazy about cats, this cafe was made for you! We were travelling through St. Louis and the adventurers that we are, decided to go off the beaten path. We love our cats and love spreading the love to other cats, and coffeehouses! This place was the perfect blend. $10 per adult and $6 per child per 30 minutes we were able to stay for 1 hour to visit with the cats in house and drink some beverages and snack on treats. I got the Lorelai Latte (named after a beautiful calico resident cat) and boy it is packed with powerful flavors and caffeine! My girls got a cup of milk and an italian soda, and the hubs got a drip coffee. We got a mint chocolate chip brownie and a cat sugar cookie and both hit the spot. Gotta beware of inquisitive cats when you're dining in the cafe! The space is perfectly built for the cats there, the climbing structure built into the wall up to the ceiling was awesome. Fortunately, most of the cats were down below and pretty social. You're not allowed to pick up any of the cats, but one friendly grey and white cat found a perfect spot on the hubs lap and was happy to be pet! There's lot of toys to play with the cats and our hour flew by very quickly.

We made a reservation for 1 pm on a Saturday, arrived a few minutes before and were met with friendly customer service and some delicious drinks and snacks :) the cats were cute, cuddly, playful, and clean! Looked happy and healthy! 100% want to come back again due to the awesome service and calm environment

It was cute! I love all things cats and kitties. The cat area was small but clean with a few tables to sit at, and there were quite a few cats though they were very shy (as cats are) The only problem was that we had to pay by the hour instead of other cats cafes I've been to where we get to drop in and stay as long or short as we want. Granted, it might be more the experience than the actual cafe part but I still want to be able to leave earlier or later. And when our time was up, they were adamant that we leave as soon as possible. The other thing was that the iced coffee that I ordered was pretty awful and watery. Yes, the cats make half of the cafe, but they should be able to make a decent coffee.

Stopped by during Small Business Saturday after I saw the café was featured on thatcatlife.com and picked up coffee for my friends and a brand new mug. I highly recommend the seasonal special, The Autumn Chill.

Really well ran cat cafe, with available kitties for adoption. If you reserve a spot online, you get a free drink that is 5$ or less. Staff are friendly, and very open to answering questions. They know their kitties well and can tell you about their personalities. Ordered a cappuccino, and it was great! Loved being able to sip my coffee with felines surrounding me. Reservations are booked by the hour!

For my mom's birthday (we call her the cat lady) I thought it would be great to take her to MauHaus. At first I thought it was a full service cafe, but it only serves hot/cold drinks and desserts. There are a few savory option. But, thank god it's not cause I wouldn't know how to eat a meal with all the kitties around... they tried to get our sweet treats!! This place is a hidden gem with a Great Mission behind it... to get these kitties adopted into good homes. The coffe/sweets were yummy... all made in house. The kitties were very entertaining unless they were sleeping. I highly suggest to make a reservation on the website. It is $10/pp which goes directly to helping MauHaus take care of the Resident Felines. There is a little gift shop if you need a shirt or cookbook. The staff were friendly and answered any questions you may have... a waiver is needed to enter the cat area as well. Check this place out....

I paid $14 to visit a cat I wanted to adopt. The drinks are minimal, no lattes or whatever, and there weren't many snacks, just sweets. The staff person was polite and friendly. The cat is asocial, won't connect to humans. Another cat, who has been there over six months, approached me and sat on my lapand so I filled out the application and it was rejected. I asked if it was because my elderly indoor cat didn't have a vaccination this year- the vet said it was optional- but didn't get a reply. Seriously? I've had cats my entire life. What a waste of time and money.

Yep you read that right..Cats and Coffee. Does it get more relaxing than that?!! Nope. Yep there's food. Amazing homemade cookies if your so inclined ;) We devoured both a lemon and peanut butter. Coffee..yes they have it and it's GREAT! I had the iced chai latte and my daughter had a hot chocolate. Both better then Starbucks. You can adopt from here so before heading out come here. Sit, play, pet and truly interact with these little angels. FYI, they will keep the cats for life if they go Unadopted which makes my heart very happy.

Coffee was great! The idea is very cool and the cats were cute, however when we walked in it was so depressing and quiet and gave such a bad vibe. It just didn't seem like an enjoyable atmosphere. But I loved my coffee lol but that's it.

TL:DR - go if u're a cat lover. If not, set realistic expectations. $10.xx for one hour of cats who you have to win their affection... Great if you are crazy about cats. I personally and a dog person, but took my two friends from out of town here and they loved it. The workers are very nice and don't get annoyed if you ask then a ton of questions that I'm sure they've answered a million times already. The venue itself is really well put together albeit small. Lots of fun hiding spots for the cat's to enjoy. Once you find a spot you're pretty much stuck there and if someone leaves it's a very awkward polite mad dash for that open spot. Cat people will always say that you have to work for the cat's affection, so it's supposedly completely normal and supposedly enjoyable when a cat ignores you and you spend 1 hour there not playing with a cat. Not the venue's fault, just be aware. For me the minus one star is for the price increase. It used to be $5 per person I believe, but now it's $10 and some change per person and that doesn't even get you anything from the cafe. For a dog person $10 for the hour is beyond not worth it. But for my two cat lover friends it was worth it, so that's why they're getting 4 stars.

I really enjoyed my visit at Mauhaus! I recommend booking ahead especially on the weekend because it can get very crowded in the afternoon! I feel like there were a lot of people at one time so it's hard to spend quality time with the cats. Many of the cats are not super friendly so they may run away and avoid being petted. Some people may find this boring because they would not be able to play and interact with the cats. You pay $10 per person for an hour inside with the cats plus one drink included so I think it's pretty reasonable. Their drinks were pretty good! Vietnamese iced coffee tasted very authentic. I met some wonderful cats today but so sad that I can't adopt any due to my living situation. I would come back again if I ever need a cat fix. 4 stars because it was too crowded on a Saturday!

I love this cafe. It's a great place to go to relax or chat with some friends. The sandwiches are also fresh and delicious. They are very creative with their hummus dips too - I've tried a red curry hummus (hope this comes back into rotation!) and one with caramelized onions. Yum!

I think cats are awesome (I've got two at home), but this was my first time visiting a cat cafe! I was meeting a friend for a weekend in St. Louis, and I had just about an hour to kill before I was going to pick her up at the airport on a Friday morning. I was searching Yelp for coffee shops near the airport (ish) where I could sit and read my book before heading to the airport when I found Mauhaus! And after reading the Yelp reviews, I decided to go! What you need to know: You can and should make a reservation. It's $10 for an hour in the cat cafe and that includes a beverage of your choice. The menu includes all your coffee options (espresso, cortado, cappuccino, latte, mocha, French press, pour over, Vietnamese iced coffee, cold brew iced coffee) as well as several non-coffee options (teas, apple cider, hot chocolate, lemonade, etc.). I actually went with a rose tea, because I was already caffeinated when I got to Mauhaus. (They also have a bakery, and you can purchase some snacks if you choose.) Once you've told them what you want, you walk through two doors (to make sure the sneaky kittens don't go hang out in the kitchen) and - TA DA - you're surrounded by happy, sunbathing, purring, playing cats! Specifically, you're surrounded by two resident cats (Lorelai and Taylor - siblings) and about fifteen adoptable cats. Mauhaus only features adoptable cats from Stray Haven Rescue - so all of these cats and kittens are looking for homes. They're also getting really great socialization, so your $10 goes to a good cause even if you're not planning on taking anyone home with you! I had intended to pet a few cats, sip my tea, and then read my book for a bit. Who was I kidding? I played with cats for the WHOLE hour. An hour is really plenty of time to get to know most of them and to make some favorites. Personally, I fell madly in love with Sheena (a shy new resident who got bolder the longer I sat near her), Chaos (who had been shaved like a lion due to lack of care at his former home), and Abby (who just wanted to be pet while she sunbathed). When I was there, a mother brought her young son in, and he was really quite scared at the beginning. Over the hour I watched him get more and more comfortable, so this isn't just great for the cats that get socialized, have fun, and find forever homes. Mauhaus provides a service to parents with young children and to people not accustomed to cats. It was wonderful to watch a child go from scared to excited!! My hour at Mauhaus was well spent. I made some friends, drank some tea, and donated a bit of money to an organization doing great work. What's not to love?

I've been here at least three times. I've been here to try it out, then my second visit was for my birthday (with a group of friends), and when a friend visited from out of town. I can see this also being a good place to take a date if you're both cat lovers. The place is clean and the cats are well taken care of. Staff is nice and informative. The food and drink is okay but I don't mind since the cats are the real reason people go. Would recommend reservations. I've found that Thursdays are usually when it's slow, otherwise you'll be fighting with someone else over the affections of a cat. The cats are spoiled to the point that getting pets isn't a big deal for them. The three times I visited, it took 30 minutes for them to start to show interest and approach you. That's why I recommend going as a group or bringing a book.

Such a cute experience! The staff are all very friendly and explain which cats are feeling particularly moody (so be more passive with those kitties). The cats have wonderful place to live and are clearly so content. There's always a staff member in the cat room, they have toys you can use with the cats, and it's just so fun to watch them do their cat thing. Caution: the cats are under no obligation to like to come to you LOL, so be prepared to just observe. Free drink included (hot or iced tea, coffee, Italian sodas), discount on specialty drinks.

The cats are (mostly) wonderful, and their cafe makes great food and drink. The staff, though, look and behave as though it's a miserable and deeply personal bother on them for Mauhaus to exist. Which is probably why the adoption process left much to be desired. It became a month-long process of them not getting back to us and being treated with intense suspicion bordering on outright hostility. I didn't think we were even getting the cats until almost the day we were allowed to pick them up. They also respond to the slightest criticism with the maturity of a grade-schooler. In the future, I will be adopting directly from Stray Haven, who accomplished their part of the adoption process with clear communication, efficiency, respect and professionalism. We probably would have had the kitties the same day had they not already been sent to Mauhaus. As much as I would love to frequent a cat cafe, the staff are pretty much the only reason I haven't been back since adopting.

Very relaxing and cute. Love the little upstairs area/nooks. Their merch is something that should be considered as well!

This place was amazing!!! The coffee is pretty good but the staff were amazing! They were so kind and the cat room attendant was super nice and answered all of our questions and was a great conversationalist. Now the real stars are obviously the cats. They were all so cute AND ADOPTABLE. Each one had their own personality and it was just really nice to be in a setting like this. I think this place is doing amazing things! The music and general vibe of this place is 10/10. I can also appreciate that they still have a mask policy in place so if you're looking for safe fun with cute kitty's I definitely recommend!! Also pro tip if you make a reservation you get free drinks and percentages off of food, specialty drinks, and merch!!!

We had a great time at the mauhaus despite my wife's allergies. Of course she Did a preemptive strike with claritin, zyrtec, and flonase. Not too shabby. Worked out. Tough when your kid has needs you can't provide due to travel etc...

My kid loves this place! Cool design! Friendly staff! I love the gooey butter cake cookies!

It's not just about the cats! But let's face it, the cats are great! But it IS more than just about the cats. The drinks are the bomb. My favorite is the hot chai tea latte. The bakery items are made in house and are as good as any good bakery in town. Savory or sweet, it's all delicious. Friendly staff every time we come in the cafe. And the extra bonus is the chance to interact with the cats, especially if you are interested in giving one of these kitties a forever home. Whenever I ask my 12 year old son what his favorite place to go eat, the answer is Mauhaus.

Mauhaus is a delightful cafe where you can sip on coffee and visit with about a dozen cats. Since they do not want the cats to be overwhelmed, only a certain amount of people are allowed at a time so you need a reservation. They request that you must spend at least $5 per person as a donation to the cats for food/litter. It is a great cause. The cats are all pretty friendly and are available for adoption. The cats have a wonderful cat playground with lots of areas to climb and hide. It does not smell at all like cat litter too. They limit your visit with the cats to about an hour which was plenty of time to meet all the kitties. I went with my fiancé, trevor who fell in love with an adorable cat also named Trevor. I enjoyed every second we spent here. Worth the small donation and reservation. I can't wait to go back and recommend all cat lovers to check this place out.

Mauhaus was such a fun treat and way to switch up my normal coffee dates! Whoever said there is such a thing as too many cats?! Pure happiness seeing all the kitties, and the coffee was delicious too. Kind of unfortunate that you can only stay for an hour (you have to make reservations) and it is not the best for having conversation either. The real focus is spending time with the kitties with some coffee and socializing on the side. If you frame it like that, then you won't be disappointed. The price of reservations is around $11, and includes a drink. Service was great too, and had good knowledge of the kitties.

Very fun! Employees were amazingly kind and cats were very cute. Service was very quick and easy. There could be more room, but what can you do? My friend and I loved it there and will definitely come again. Overall amazing.

I love the concept of Mauhaus. St. Louis first cat cafe is the talk of the town! Reservation is recommended when visiting since the space is slightly small, and there's a limit to the number of people to go into the main cafe. When you make the reservation, a $10 fee is required per person. The $10 probably helps with the upkeep of the cafe, which is understandable. They make it up to you by giving you a free beverage of choice and 20% off their baked items. The menu is pretty expectant from a cafe. You have your coffee, lattes, and some special drinks on the menu. I got a latte with lavender syrup, which wasn't too bad. All their flavored syrups are made in-house which is awesome. Before you enter the cafe, there are rules you're required to read over and a waiver you're required to sign. Once you enter the main space, you just find a place to sit back, relax, and eagerly wait for a cat to come near you (you're not allowed to chase or pick up the cats. The cats have to come to you.) The wait felt like a brief middle school dance flashback... as you wait awkwardly for someone to ask you to slow dance. Can someone please dance with me? Well, the good news is that there are enough cats for everyone to play with at the cafe. Nobody will feel left out. My favorite cat was an aggressive-snuggler named Colin. Colin doesn't know how to control his claw strength. He jumped on my lap and gave me a huge hug around my neck. He was enjoying the snuggling so much that his claws started to latch on to my clothes. The longer you snuggled with him, his claws started to poke your skin through your clothes. The pain didn't feel too bad once people start awing at this moment of course... I would take Colin home if I wasn't mildly allergic to cats. Well the good news is majority of the cats are adoptable at the cafe, but a few cats are the cafe patrons. Cafe Mauhaus is a neat space. I mean what's a better way to adopt a cat once you make a connection with them at a cafe. The overall atmosphere is positive and bright. You can't help to smile at all the happy faces as they engage with these friendly felines.

This place is adorable. I scheduled a window of time and bought tickets, but this money goes toward the food and care of the kitties. They take excellent care of all of the kitties and give them homes or sometimes adopt them out to find them homes. There are cat towers and beds and cushions and walkways across the room and walls and hidey holes and places for them to escape into the basement where the litter is kept I presume among other things. I had a nice iced tea there and even bought a cute "kitty ears" ring during my checkout.

Mauhaus is a wonderful story of local business owners building a dream to reality. It is now the first cat cafe in St. Louis. And it is fantastic! Logistics: walk-ins are available but reservation through the website is recommended. It is $10 deposit per person to make a reservation at an allotted time/date, but you may use that full deposit to purchase their menu items. Giddy as all heck that Mauhaus was finally open, I made a reservation for 2 last Thursday afternoon. It was pretty full so thankfully for our reservation and we were slotted in right away (after signing waivers). Atmosphere: The atmosphere is wonderful and happy. You can't not smile upon walking in this place. You can tell the cafe was built with thought and love, as the cat structures are strategic and plentiful with thoughtful crevices for cats to maneuver throughout. The space is clean and airy, and cats galore! The cats were more playful and people-friendly than I imagined they would be. I'm a dog person and have never really been around cats (shhh), but the cats instantly warmed my heart. We were in the cafe for over an hour and it was just a joyful experience and an instant mood picker-upper. The staff is very nice, both behind the counter and inside the cat area. The patrons were a diverse mix of young adults, girls hanging out, couples, families, even an old man who walked in. When you enter the cat area (separated from the food ordering area), you basically pick a spot to sit at, but you're free to move around as you please, and you're free to interact with the many cats while you enjoy your food and drink. They also have toys for patrons to play with the cats. Food/drinks/menu: Mauhaus is a cafe, after all! We ordered the latte and the Vietnamese iced coffee. Solid solid drinks! They were well made with love and both delicious. Portion is enormous, especially my latte. We also ordered some pastries and cicchetti and they were all great. We essentially used up our deposits and got to try out a large variety of their menu. Everything is well priced. It does seem like their menu is rotating, which is a great way to mix up the variety. I highly recommend everyone (old, young, couples, families, even dog lovers like me! Shhhh) to check out Mauhaus. It will brighten your day. What an awesome addition to the STL community. (Insert cat emojis)

A million stars! I love their mission to rescue and adopt out adult cats. $10 gets you an hour reservation and a latte. Besides spending an hour with adorable cats, the coffee itself is also great. I had a rose latte, a daily special, and it was delicious. My favorite cat I spent my hour with was 17 pound, squishy, cuddly Homer. The manger said Homer had a day left at the kill shelter he was rescued from. Pretty sure they'll have no problem getting this boy adopted. Wish I lived in St Louis; he'd be going home with me. Visit, pet cats, drink coffee, and leave a donation. They're doing a great thing here for these cats.

Multiple Cats had eye infections (and were still intermingled with other so far unaffected cats!), coffee was not good, half the volunteers were rude. Seems like if this place were really set up to place cats in homes they would have applications and the ability to process them on the spot (or at least in an efficient manner). Clientele was stereotypical cat lady. Operators hearts are probably in the right spot but they fall short in providing anything other than tacky entertainment for weird people at the expense of the cats health.

I found this idea on Kickstarter and of course became a backer!!! Such a great idea to showcase this adorable cats for adoption! We received the "Tea for Two" with our pledge and got two coffee drinks and two pastries. The patties were sooo yummy too! After signing a waiver and going over the rules, you enter the cafe and get to enjoy your drinks and pastries with kitties all around. It's not overwhelming or anything...just cats laying here and there. We actually didn't even touch any cats lol. You can sit on pillows on the floor , window seats or at tables. I think that they did a really great job with all of it and I can only assume it will get better and better with more donations.

Vegan milk options and vegan cookies available. Reservations to see kitties are recommended but not necessary if you are ok waiting a bit to get a turn inside the kitty area. Or just grab coffee and watch them through glass wall.

While I consider myself a dog person, I loved this cat cafe! It is such a neat concept. I went with a group of 4 for the cat cafe brunch on a Sunday morning. We made reservations a few days before, which are highly recommended. The $10 +tax got us an hour in the cafe and a delicious beverage. I had the honey lavender latte. So good! There are unique and cute breakfast options available. I had the French toast bake - interesting, but very tasty. Be sure to read the rules and sign the waiver. You can't pick up the cats or wake them up, but petting is definitely allowed! There are plenty of toys available, some cats are more playful than others. The staff is happy to tell you about the different personalities of the cats. All but the two resident cats are adoptable, but the cafe will have to do a "background check" before you can take them home. 5 cats were being adopted as we were leaving. Not sure what the waiting period typically is, but unfortunately you can't walk out with a cat the same day. The cafe just wants to ensure you're going to be a good fit. Surprisingly,the cafe doesn't smell like there's cats everywhere! It's also fairly clean, except for the unavoidable cat hair. The food and drinks are made in a separate area from the cats.

This place is super cute! We visited today as "drop Ins". Being from out of town, I didn't know that reservations were recommended but we were able to go in for a bit! We ordered their signature tea (iced) and had a shot of lavender syrup added. We also ordered a citrus cookie and an oatmeal cookie. The employees were all nice and friendly, and the area where the cats roam was really clean! You can play with the cats (lots of toys out), just eat and admire them, or pet the ones who like to be pet. The space has lots of cat friendly areas like a cat run up high, little holes and tunnels in the benches to play in and cute little cat beds that look like beds for people. Not only was the food great, but the environment was a nice relaxing break from the busy days of traveling! I'd recommend this place to anyone who loves animals.

My kids and I absolutely loved it! The idea of this is just brilliant. Staff was very polite and upbeat. The pastries were excellent. Definitely worth trying!

We walked in (reccomend reservations, we got lucky) and were just delighted. Not only were the cats awesome, the place carries a very chill vibe. The rules, there for the safety of the critters, are simple and once you settle in you'll be treated with a host of furry friends. Now for a place like this, you'd think the food would just be okay, but we were surprised at how good the food was. The menu is limited and I think, all vegetarian. We had a flatbread and Samoas and both were awesome. The staff is also amazing. They are very passionate about their furry charges and want you to have a good experience. Can't reccomend enough. We will be back.

I went once in the fall, after reading we should make reservations, I made an afternoon time for the weekend. It was pretty packed inside but we were able to get into the separate "cat interaction" room quickly and easily. A drink was included with our 10$ reservation and an additional 20% off food, so we got the hummus which was fine, nothing exceptional. Overall, an OK experience. We ended up spending 30 minutes in the room before wanting to leave. All the cats were either asleep up high or being hogged by other groups so there wasn't much for us to do but finish our drinks and food and make way for others. Maybe at a less busy time, at night perhaps, this would have been a better experience. I understand this really can't be helped if the business is to make money for upkeep and take care of the cats and I want the cats to be taken care of. I really do appreciate the logic and meaning behind this business. Cats are great and this helps many of them enjoy a fulfilling environment and chances of adoption. It was an OK time and I was happy to see how it works, but I won't be repeating it any time soon. Still, I'm happy this business is around and appreciate all they do.
