Nestled near St. John's University, this adorably pink cafe serves up Instagrammable bubble tea and delectable crepe cakes in a whimsical, cat-themed setting.
"Sweet Cats is one of those newfangled arcade cafes, where claw machines line up filled with brightly colored stuffed animals. Order from a counter at the rear and sit at one of the pastel tables. Several of the selections include a bowl of wavy packaged ramen improved with a fried egg or a smoky grilled hot dog. There are plenty of pastries and cakes on the menu, too, part of an ambiance aimed at kids’ birthday parties." - Robert Sietsema
"Sweet Cats Cafe, a dessert shop and arcade with a viral following online, is coming to Manhattan. The business is opening its third location in New York City at 21 East 17th Street, near Broadway, Commercial Observer reports. The cafe’s original location is in Fresh Meadows, Queens; it became popular online after expanding to Flushing in 2021. The newest location, in Union Square, opens this fall." - Luke Fortney
"I will literally go into any eatery if it looks interesting, and that was the case last weekend with Sweet Cats Café on Union Turnpike in Hillcrest. The place doubles as a salesroom for pastel-colored stuffed animals, which populate a series of vending machines along one wall, arranged according to color. I think all the animals may have been cats, but it was impossible to tell. The patrons were mainly mothers and daughters." - Robert Sietsema
