Seattle Meowtropolitan

We absolutely LOVE the Seattle Meowtropolitan!! My 8 year old and I have been visiting regularly for more than a year now and we‘ve bonded with all the amazing kitties! Everyone who works and volunteers here is so kind as well. The kitty-themed drinks and kitty macaroons are all delicious too! And the cat-inspired decorations—even in the restrooms—are wonderful! It’s a kitty paradise for all the cats and humans who visit. :) We highly recommend everyone who loves cats visits this magical place!

Seattle Meowtropolitan was such a lovely place with a delightful staff! I've been to a LOT of cat cafes doing research for my daughter -- basically every city I visit, I find a cat cafe -- and this is one of the nicest ones I've been to. The teas and coffees were delicious, the selection of gifts and boutique items were unique and fun, and the kitty room was clean, well maintained, and NO smell! The cats were super chill and friendly. I think they were so calm because they had plenty of spaces to relax, play, or hide depending on their needs. SM provided a variety of toys and beds and opportunities to interact, plus several cafe tables and seating areas for the humans. I was enjoying myself so much, I booked another hour. And I bought a ton of gifts and kitty goodies for the folks/cats back home

I love this place SO much. Bit of a drive for us but always worth it. Your staff is always beyond friendly. Your store is always changing with cute things and I always end up buying half the dang store!! I love that your menu is all cat themed along with the food!!! I looove how much room y’all give the cats along with all the places they have to hide, and play. Always beyond clean! This has become my favorite cat cafe and I truly don’t think you could do anything better!!! Keep it up :)

First time going to a cat cafe and I'm so glad I have started off my journey with a great one! The staff was very nice, and so are the cats. The drinks were ok...sadly I forgot to get the macrons. The inside of the cat room was VERY well done, and quite spacious. There was a kid that kept "stealing" my cats but that's not the business fault of course. Will 100% come again

The cafe staff were so wonderful! They were very caring & knowledgable about the cats. The drink I got was DELICIOUS (orange white mocha) and I couldn’t have been happier with it. We went at the 6-6:50 time slot and everyone got to feed a kitty a whole bowl of food! This was SUCH a fun experience with such lovely cats!!

I stumbled upon this amazing place while scrolling on Facebook - a sponsored ad popped up) - and since I am a cat lover who was missing my fur baby I HAD to visit!! My husband and I were on vacation visiting from North Carolina - we were super excited to be able to squeeze in the last two time slots for 4pm after we walked there from the Woodland Park Zoo! The kitties are super chill and the area is so clean and cozy - If I lived in Seattle it would most definitely be a regular spot! The staff was super friendly and the coffee was good too!

My first cat café experience is with Seattle Meowtropolitan. Now a member, I spend an average of 4 to 6 hours a week working there with my laptop. There's nothing more charming than having the a soft stealth of a cat sit on your laptop key board and interrupt your work. I welcome the natural pauses they insist on making possible. 50 minutes for $19 or you can sign up to become an annual member for $99. I know: it's the best deal in Seattle. I don't know how long that bargain lasts but should probably run now walk to sign up for yourself or gift a friend a membership: they will love you forever for such a gift. There seem to be about 20 cats freely roaming up high on the catwalk or along the wall shelves or down low playing with guests who are happy to brush twitch toys on the floor. If you come around dinner time, sometimes thoughtful staff will let guests hand out the dishes of food and we are up close and personal watching the cats enjoy their supper with gusto. The personalities of the cats emerge quickly and become recognizable after a short period of time. Dewey responds to positive affirmation by running on his wheel. Depending on the time of day you will catch kittens playing pounce with each other or napping curled up like fur balls, their sides falling ever so softly and rising with their breaths. The staff team is truly fantastic: friendly, professional, constantly cleaning and engaging our questions. I'm having a moment and can't remember all their names but Mari, Anna, Clara, Rachel and Rachel. (Mari and Dom are constantly cleaning while engaging the cats) and volunteers like the two Sarahs doing health checks are wonderfully informative. If you're new, there's an abundance of thoughtfulness that goes into their sharing of wisdom and guidelines for engaging the cats. I was here when a staff person was training a new volunteer with a disability and I was impressed with the thoroughness and thoughtfulness with which the staff person Clara walk through the volunteer responsibilities, continually checking in with their comfort level to gauge readiness for the next learning. The Cafe staff make some excellent drinks. The shortbread cookies are charming and they have kitty macrons. It would be great if they had more savory options but right now it's limited to chips. We are allowed to bring drinks into the play area. Come early so you can watch the cats through the window and decide how you want to approach. They really do love to play. They also host yoga with cats or Meowga and sound baths here. Look for them on the calendar.

OMG what pretty kitty's! Reasonably priced and you can choose 30 minutes or 50 minutes to play with these beautiful creatures. There were only 2 cats up for adoption I'm sure they'll have more soon. Not much of a food selection just cookies mainly but would definitely recommend going here!

Some chairs were for cats only. So, 4.9 stars. Rounding up. Catte, a latte spelled weird was good too.

Coffee, tea and snacks are lovely. Service is always with a warm smile. Tuesday Yoga is hatha style, exceptional well taught.

Beverages and company were excellent! We spent half a session in the catio and were not disappointed. Lots of friendly and playful kitties to sit with you as you enjoy a beverage.

I always have the best time at Meowtropolitan! The space is so large compared to other cat cafes that I've been to. It doesn't feel overcrowded and cramped. You can tell how much the staff cares about the cats. The space is very well kept and the cats seemed so comfortable. The food and drink is a huge bonus to the experience. The vanilla latte I had went so well with the cute cat themed pastries that they offer. They also serve beer and wine!

Such a wonderful place to visit! Everyone was super kind and welcoming, while also informing us about procedures and rules! The cats in the space were super adorable and soft! Some were napping, some were wandering around. They were very friendly and cuddly, while also being gentle too! I had an Iced Vanilla Latte with Oat Milk, and really liked it! Will definitely come again!

This is one of my absolute favorite places in the world. They care passionately about Animal welfare and their residents. It's enjoyable and relaxing to spend time in the room. The staff is top notch. The drinks are great quality and there is something for everyone If you love cats this is your little slice of heaven

We LOVE this place! My 6yo daughter and I come here often to hang out with the kitties and have a hot chocolate, the staff is always nice and friendly.

Nice tea, cute latte art, caring team and happy cats. Lots of space and a nice place to work, although I would not plan to work here all day as seating with the cats is paid.

"Cats were worshipped as gods; they haven't forgotten this." - Terry Pratchett A few weeks back my daughter and I visited @seattlemeowtropolitan for an unforgettable firsthand experience with some amazing kitties and top-notch service from the staff. This illustration is dedicated to you all! THANK YOU! Check out my post on the benefits of petting cats on Instagram @RealityRiffs!

The cats were so well taken care of! The cats at the cafe were super active/stimulated and seemed like they were having a good time. They had good coffee and it was an amazing experience to sip hot coffee while playing with beautiful cats. We were also able to experience their food time. The cats would all get excited and they would each get a bowl of food. They had a few cats for adoption as well in case you want to take a furry baby home :)

50 minutes of pure cat bliss. Never been to a cat cafe before, but after today I am hooked! It was $15 for the session which needed a reservation. Also, none of their drinks were more than $6 for the largest size! I got the hot pawcolate (chocolate) 16 oz for $4.49 and the cutest foam art. They were some of the cutest cats I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. The vibe is so cozy, cuddly, and honestly a fun environment for both humans and cats. I would live here if I could. Shout out to Clouds, the best cat around who spent a majority of the time in my lap. Will miss them forever and always

Great atmosphere. Friendly staff and adorable cats! My daughter and I had a wonderful visit. Thank you.

Awesome First Time Visit At Meowtropolitan Cat Cafe In Seattle. Loveable And Friendly Kitties To Hangout With While Having A Espresso Drink. Definitely A Good Business In Seattle And A Cool Experience With Animals. The Espresso Cappuccinos Are Tasty Also.

Very clean! Friendly staff and kitties......totally worth the price of $16 per person. We even came home with a beautiful new addition to our family. Will definitely visit again. Thank you Meowteopolitan staff. You rock.

A fun cat café in Seattle's Fremont district that hosts adoptable kittens. The cost for a 50-minute session is decently priced at $13, which can be booked in advance online. At least a dozen cats were in the lounge, although many were napping during our Sunday afternoon visit. Drinks with cute cat art can be ordered at the counter outside of the cat lounge. I had a 12oz Meowca for $4.99 delivered to me inside the lounge and had a comical time trying to stop a cat from sipping my coffee. No bakery options were present during our visit. The lounge itself is rather spacious, clean, and well-decorated. Staff was friendly. Guest Wi-Fi is available.

If you love cats, then this is the place for you! Plenty of cute cats that are ready for playtime, but be sure to book a time where all the cats are most active. Also, some of the cats are open for adoption.

We had SO much fun at SeaMeow!! The cats were all SO sweet - Sammy and Misha were our favorites. The staff were so welcoming and the "feline guardian" inside the cat room was so informative about all the cats and their care. All the merch and art was so fun, and even the bathroom had such fun cat mural art! I wish we could've had 3 hours instead of just one!! Thank you so much, SeaMeow!

I took part in the yoga class here, which is done with you surrounded by cats! The class itself was pretty good, and definitely helped me relax and stretch out. Our instructor was super friendly and didn't ever rush us or make us feel pressured to be on top of all the positions. The best part was that we were surrounded by cats the entire time - sometimes they'd come lay on your mat, play with you, or just be around which was super cute. Definitely a fun experience!

I participated in a group yoga session and it was very relaxing! Extremely cleanly and virtually odorless. The cats are all chill. I honestly was expecting to be covered in cat hair when I visited but I was pleasantly surprised to find that all the cats we very well groomed and taken care of! The place is very clean too! Tip: use the provided yoga mats. The cats WILL destroy your mat as soon as you roll it out on the floor because it is a new and exciting item. I brought a beat up yoga mat just in case and sure enough, it was the star of the show for all the cats to scratch.

The cats at this café were super cute, and I loved the mission of this place - helping cats find homes. It felt like they were aiming more at high school and college kids. When I walked in, I got the vibe that it's not just for hardcore cat lovers of all ages, but more for kids wanting something fun to do when school's out. Playing with the active cats was a blast, even though a bunch of them were just snoozing away. I'm all for the idea of chilling with cats while sipping a latte and maybe even taking one home. But, truth be told, I think it's more of a try-it-ounce kind of thing, at least that's the impression I walked away with.

great place for cat people, cats are very friendly! staff was nice as well & very helpful

I know they need money and provide a great community service, but public meet the cat sessions should be capped at 5. Maybe 6 on Friday and Saturday. Anymore than that is too much especially with cat toys on a string and of course the cats can't pay as much attention to you. Raise it to 25 from 16 if you're that worried about money. Counting the employee there were 11 people in the cat room

Cat cafes are such a cute concept. Came here close to closing, but we were able to go inside for an hour and play with the cats. They were so cute and cuddly and let us pet and play with them. The owners provided feather toys and fake mice, and the cats would chase after them. The structures allowed us to view the cats interact with each other, and we finished off the experience with cups of cat lattes. Would recommend for a date!

Love love love cats. You can book an hour with the cats for around $13, drinks are not included but you can bring it with you into the play room if you decide to order something. They also have cat yoga and seasonal events like pumpkin craving with cats. There are residential cats that stay at the cafe, but the cafe also partner with a shelter where if there's a cat that you absolutely fall in love with, they can be adoptable. I assume they put out the more docile cats out for the public to play with. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:)

We had an absolutely enchanting experience! We wished we could have stayed longer, but the magic was palpable. The hot chocolate and latte art were the perfect touches, and the service was excellent. Being surrounded by playful cats was pure joy, and the abundance of toys kept everyone engaged. I brought two 8-year-olds, and it was wonderful to see people of all ages interacting with the cats in different ways. I even had a sweet cat snuggle up in my lap while I sipped my coffee! The seating was comfortable, with plenty of tables and chairs for all. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and we can't wait to come back!

Sipping on a hot cup of Chai Tea with furry friends in the haven, feeling the warmth spread through my body and bringing me comfort. There's something therapeutic about this simple pleasure that helps me find solace in the moment.

What an amazing cat cafe! The cats are friendly and calm. The place is clean with a cute shop. The staff are so nice and enjoy their job. I didn't want to leave, but I will be back. Come and pet the kitties!

We had a wonderful experience here today! It seems like the comfort of the cats is a priority and the cafe tries to set everyone up for success. My daughter hasn't spent much time around cats and she really liked the cat body language sheet which had drawings of different cat postures and how the cat might be feeling. The people working were friendly and clearly cared about the cats. The cat area had lots of places to sit and many things for the cats to climb and sit on. It seemed like if a cat wanted to be out of reach it would be easily able to hide away. As a result we only encountered cats who were indifferent to friendly which is honestly the best you can hope for! They seemed pretty relaxed for the most part and well cared for. We ordered a latte for me and a kids hot chocolate both of which came with some kitty latte art! We will likely stop by again soon as we had a great visit.

I loved my experience here! The staff was efficient and kind. We were greeted warmly upon entrance and checked in quickly. The cat room was clean, smelled nice and is such an amazing space for kitties. The kitties were all social and playful. Sleepy cats were content to be petted. 100% recommend visiting Seattle Meowtropolitan. Can't wait to go again!

I had booked an hour, private session for my fiancé (birthday activity) and extended friends and family of 10 to come spend time with the cats. It was such a great experience. The staff running the cafe were amazing and were very professional regarding the care of the cats, and how we are to interact with them. There were over a dozen cats, with several available for adoption. They were all very well groomed (super soft and clean). We have one cat at home that gets groomed regularly and is not this soft! Within the hour, the staff would bring out bowls of treats for all of us to share with the cats; boy did they love this time to snack. Several of us tried to feed the not-so social cats whom stayed back or hidden. On one hand, it's seems a bit like a tease for them, to be loved every hour by different strangers without knowing if they will go to a forever home. But on the other hand, this program sure beats them being in a shelter and the grim realities that await them if they are not taken... We definitely plan to come back again and adopt If we can. Support and save cats!

It was okay. I understand cats are cats and have their own will, but it's really like we weren't even there. We pretty much went just to look at them run around skittishly, they didn't even like to be touched and actively avoided it, and were not social, even the permanent residents. it was really underwhelming for $40, the drinks were okay, but there was no baked goods or food. it wasn't really an experience so much as something thrown together. good idea, weird execution.

I took the meowga class, and it was so much fun! The instructor was great about walking us through the different yoga poses and the cats participated :)

Purrrrfect for a date night! Came to visit Seattle with my husband and we loved the idea of a cat cafe! Super adorable and the drinks are even cat themed - would 100% again! Also one of the cheaper cat cafes I've seen around the city.

After taking my family of four to Archie McPhee I overheard someone talk about a cat cafe nearby. I looked it up and we decided to walk over. They had two spots open for the session about to start. I signed up my two teenage daughters. They loved it.

A cute cat-fe that serves handcrafted beverages and assists the Seattle Humane Society in helping find homes for cats! The baristas have always been friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The latte art is really cute! Many of the cats are up for adoption within the cafe. The cafe also has resident cats that you can visit. The cat area is expertly set up for cat stimulation, exercise, naps, and places for kitties to hide away if they feel the need. For so many cats in one space, they do a great job at keeping it clean and odor free. SeaMeow also has yoga classes that you can attend alongside the cats! Assist your local cafe and humane society and stop by Seattle Meowtropolitan today!

The latte art on my coffee and my son's hot chocolate were adorable, but don't expect to find any food or treats in the display case. That was disappointing for my son. I asked about it and they said it's because they stopped ordering from the prior vendor that made cat themed baked goods and if I know of anyone I should let them know. Um oookay, but at that point wouldn't it be better to just have some sort of food for folks to buy? I don't care if it has a cat or a paw print on it. Or maybe indicate these updates on the website. I did buy some of the overpriced sea meow items, but only because our buddy will totally love them. If you have a compelling reason, go for it. Started off kind of weird in the cat room. Girl lying completely still, sprawled out on the floor with a cat on her belly that people had to walk around. I love animals and think this is a good concept if executed well, but I was initially bored. My son and other kids did a great job with the cats and getting them to play. By the end, half of them were lively enough and engaging. They are the reason for the 2 stars. Was it worth $13? Probably not, but my kid was definitely happy. Would I go back? Most likely a one shot deal. I can't say I would recommend it. The room was surprisingly very clean and didn't smell of cats. The cats who let you pet them were all clean and really soft. Parking: No designated parking. Found a spot about a block away near residential.

A visited this cafe a few weeks ago and in theory, the idea is really good. There is a cafe in the lobby that you can order from before going into the room and bring your treats with you. My party and I walked in and immediately were excited to make our way around the room and meet the cats. As a paw-rent of two cats of my own, I know when I see a sick cat. There was one cat in particular who was extremely lethargic and had snot coming out of his nose, his eyes looked weepy, and he was sneezing - not like a regular cute kitten sneeze but like a MASSIVE sneeze that scared our group when we were near him. He was obviously really sick and - as someone who owns cats - I know how easily these sicknesses can spread to others. Our entire group took to him and was standing around him talking about how sad he looked. When an attendant was nearby I asked them if he was sick and she said "yes he's been sick for a few weeks but it'll probably just resolve itself." I commented that he looked "really ill" and should get checked out and she said that "he'll be fine, we're giving him lots of love!" This is incredibly concerning to hear. One of our group members was so concerned that he put in a request to adopt this cat but never heard back. Beyond this - they had a feeding session with the cats while we visited. A lot of the cats were trying to break into the room with the food in it and it just seemed like they didn't get fed often. The last alarming piece of this visit was that some cats were put into a cage during the feeding time and looked SO stressed out. One was pacing anxiously back and forth and meowing loudly, seemingly stressed. Our group walked away from this experience a little horrified and concerned about how the animals were being treated and everyone said it put a damper on their day. I hope that they have been making some positive changes and hire staff who specialize in cat body language and behavior so they can understand when their cats are sick, stressed, or hungry, and provide support to them when they are.

Cat lovers, this is your heaven! Every cat is friendly, playful, and willing to be pet. They all look like they're having a great time living here and enjoy the company of every "hooman" who comes through their air lock door. The drinks are great as well and the staff will deliver them to you in the cat lounge when you're making new feline friends. Whether it's to destress, get your cat fix or just hang out indoors for an hour somewhere fun, this is the place to be!

This place is so cute and it's always a ton of fun seeing the cats running around, loving life. I would say if you're looking to adopt, try to book one of the earlier slot times or call ahead and see if there's any kitties to adopt. When I went a couple months ago, all of the cats except one were already adopted and were just chilling. This is excellent news, of course, but my friend was looking for her furrever friend and wasn't able to find one. Also, because it's Covid, the cafe is closed but the shop is still open!

In the words of my niece and nephew "It was the BEST. I had many favorite cats. Some were really fluffy and soft. It's very fun playing with them. It's cool how you can adopt some of them. It's really fun! The sleepy ones liked getting pet." Would highly recommend!

This place is great the staff are all super friendly! the prices are good too not super expensive. While you're waiting to go visit the kitties you can look at all they're merchandise they sell from local artists! great atmosphere and will be definitely coming back

The ambiance of this cat cafe is pretty cute. I love how much space the cats are given. The cats are very sweet. However, what really bothered me about our reservation is that a party of guests brought in treats to feed the cats. This caused a large proportion of the cats that were awake to roam in their vicinity and not with other paying guests. I asked the cashier if they sold treats to feed the cats and she said no. We have been to a few cat cafes in California and I think they deal with this situation a lot better. They have pre-portioned treats in bags that they sell, for not a lot of $$, and let guests use those paid treats to feed the cats. They don't let guests bring outside food. This makes things more ethical and fair for all paying guests.

So many cute cats and the coffee is soooo yummy. We came without a reservation just to check out the area and the ladies were able to accommodate our party of 4 so that we could all see the cats. Will be coming here again!!!!

This is one of my favorite spots in Seattle. If you're a UW student, I would recommend renting some time in here during finals week and bring your homework. It's a huge stress relief. I also have, periodically, been a regular at their Saturday/Sunday cat yoga. I am always delighted by the chaos of yoga with a ton of cats around. More recently, I went back, and doing a light flow surrounded by cats was some of the best trauma work I've done in months. Coffee is always great and they have an awesome reiki crystal supply last time I was there in June. Going back soon hopefully!

Great environment for cats with great service The drinks were good, they made us a cat design on a mocha

We had a fun afternoon in Wallingford and after Molly Moons we headed here. I did reserve time in advance and I think they charge the right amount for what you get. I was happy to get treats to give the kitties as that really got the kitties up and moving about- they were sleepy at the start of our time. Be warned that not all cats are adoptable so ask when you get there if you want to adopt. The coffee shop area has some cute things to buy. The coffee hubby ordered took a while to get made and I honestly don't remember seeing other treats but that's likely because we had just had ice cream at Molly Moons (yum yum). Overall it was a great visit. We'll be back at some point.

Love everything! Sweet cats, great environment, small groups, kind staff, tasty drinks with thematic names and cute cat designs in the coffee! A wonderful business to support.

Super cute concept! The cats were adorable and the staff were friendly. The drink I had was mediocre and there weren't any baked goods or food items besides bags of chips. Would love if there were more diversity in their menu. Overall, even though the main attraction were the kitties, I found the whole experience a bit underwhelming. I don't think I'd ever come here again but I think it's a great place to go at least once!

And he just took the longest sigh in the world, and said, 'Hal, it's just about cats. ' So I would have ruined it."

The staff there was terrific! Inside with the cats, we were taught best ways to play with the cats, were each given three pieces of kibble to give to the cat of our choice, and were left to enjoy them at our leisure. In the cafe area, the drinks were so cute and the barista incredibly nice. We ended up buying some cute kitty jewelry there and would go again.
