Gem City Catfe

I've been here many, many times for the food and drink, which is always on-point, and it's nice to get to watch the kitties while reading or working at my table downstairs. I usually get a coffee drink, but their other options like their bubble-teas are also delicious! The staff are always super quick and helpful. I have only gone into the cat room once, but the process was easy, and all the cats were playful and well-cared-for. The room was so clean that even as a person with pretty bad cat allergies, I was hardly bothered even with being in there for the full hour. Definitely stop by if you can - I recommend reserving a spot online because it can sometimes get a little crowded during certain peak hours.

My teen and I went to the Catfe yesterday (small business Saturday) for the first time! Yummy chai (for me) and bubble tea (for her) They have such an amazing set up. I love that they have resident cats and cats for adoption. 🥰
If you love cats I'd highly recommend checking it out. 10/10 would recommend! ❤️

First time here and I loved it. The mocha coffee I had was really good, in a fancy mug even. I think it's a wonderful idea and a good way to give to the animals. It's not very big so I do recommend a reservation for the cat room. You can even join for $25 and get reduced cat room rates. Great job guys!

The Catfé is one of my favorite neighborhood spots! The drinks and treats are great - I had buttered rum chai and a gingerbread macaron the other day, and both were delicious. The staff are consistently friendly and helpful, even when it's clear they're super busy. Through all the ups and downs of the pandemic, they've always prioritized the safety and happiness of their cats and their customers. The cat lounge is a really comfortable place to hang out and meet the kitties without stress or pressure, and they're all well cared for. I'll be back many times!

The staff is kind and helpful, and this is a great business & mission to support.
My recommendation would be to avoid going on a weekend afternoon, however, if you want to pet the cats. If you do go then, be prepared to mostly observe the cats and other patrons. When I was there for a 3pm reservation, most of the six cats at the time were irritable and seemed quite tired of people interacting with them, which is fair, because there were a lot of people (about 10) in a relatively small space with the cats. The best part for me was the coffee.
