The owners are always super friendly and nice! We love to stop by on a lazy Sunday afternoon to say hello to the cats and grab a delicious drink. Would give them more than five stars if I were allowed to! Be advised! If you want to visit the kitties you’ll need a reservation as they might not have room for walk-in appointments.

What a beautiful establishment that offers unique services. A friend of mine recommended that I visit the cat lounge since I was looking to adopt. During my 30 min visit, a little more than half of the available cats had presented themselves in the cat lounge. Though due to my timing, they were all waking up from their cat naps so most were not too interested in interacting right away. I had not vibed with any of the cats during my visit but all was not lost since petting them was still a boost for my morale. But on my way out, while in line at the cafe, one of the lounge staff workers noticed I had asked about certain cats that weren't out in the lounge but were posted on their profile board on the wall. She (I believe it was Leah) asked if there were any particular faces I'd like to interact with. And there was one in particular indeed. So she brought me to them in another room since he was very very shy. He and I bonded IMMEDIATELY. I adopted my sweet baby that same day and picked him up 2 days later. I appreciate their staff both in the lounge and the cafe. They all have been the utmost kind, informative, patient, attentive, and very thorough. Thank you all so much :) I'm sure I'll be back for more delicious food and another feline face at some point!

The place: Plenty of space in the cafe side. LOTS of comfy seating in the cat side. On the back wall, there’s a wall of profiles of each cat so you can get an idea of everyone’s personalities. There are so many spaces for the cats to hide, climb, and play. I was particularly impressed by the catwalks up near the ceiling where the cats can look down at guests. The location: Just a couple doors down from Lucky’s. Nestled into a neighborhood where there’s plentiful free street parking. The treats: The blended lemonade was exactly what I needed. Yes, it was cold out, but you know what? The lemonade was the perfect mix of tart and sweet. Beautiful. The service: The staff seem like the type of people I’d enjoy befriending. They’re a little quirky and a lot caring. They truly care about what they’re doing and they’re committed to the cats. I think everyone was wearing a cat themed t-shirt when we visited. The cats were friendly and playful. There were enough cats that every guest had someone to play with. I successfully pet every cat within reach. All very soft. Next time: I would love to stick around for longer, maybe bring a book and sit with one of the old kitties.

Lovely folks. Very kind and clear with instructions. Cafe has delicious treats and drinks. My daughter loved her frozen lemonade and I loved my iced latte with hazelnut and toffee. So yummy!! I was glad they had decaf espresso. The kitty room is spacious and it was nice to sit and pat the sweet cats.

This place is too cute! I love being able to play with the cats. The drinks are pretty tasty too! I had a lavender lemonade that was really good before getting to hang with the cats. You can’t bring your food or drink in with the cats of course, but it’s no biggie as they’ll hold it for you or what I did was just drink it beforehand. I love that all of the cats are adoptable through the Cleveland APL. The staff will tell you about each of the cats and how to best interact with them so make sure that you chat with them. They recommend reserving cat time in advance as it can book up quickly so make sure you do their online registration. It’s really easy to do and worth it so that you can guarantee your cat time!

I felt so uncomfortable when I visited this cat cafe. my friends and i decided to visit this cat cafe as a last goodbye before we leave for college but the atmosphere felt strange from the beginning. The coworker mention a cat that doesn’t like being pet and said that the cat wear a blue collar while half of the cats wear a blue collar. atleast they should be more specific or isolate the cat if they are not able to be played with. when i decided to pet the cat not knowing it was the suggested cat, the woman in the room with us gave my friends and i attitude and told us to stop playing around with that cat while none of us knew that it was the cat. after being 5 mins late, we only spent 25 mins and not the suggested 30 mins that they told us that we had. I wasn’t too bothered by it but after that we decided to get some drinks. keep in mind I am a matcha drinker and love matcha with my whole heart and tried it. oh lord I couldn’t finish my drink, I had to throw it out after taking one sip. I really do not recommend visiting this place if you’re hoping to be surrounded by many cats during your visit

Omg I love this hidden gem in cleveland. Super friendly staff. Awesome cats that are available for adoption. If you are a cat lover like I am definitely recommend.

Such a fun cute little place to go hang out with your gals. The vegan pastries AND drink options are a huge plus. All the cats were so fun and unique with their little personalities. Unicorn was probably my favorite.

We have been here 3 times. It seemed like the kitties on this past visit were pretty cranky. The staff was there and they did more interacting with the cats. There must have been more new ones. Overall it is a nice way to spend some time and get yourself an iced coffee too. I always get the Snow Leopard.

My friends and I found this place nearby, thinking we could have a relaxing time before we all went our separate ways to go off to college. To start off, it was odd to me how it costs $11 for only a thirty minute time slot to play with the cats (but it's not like I even spent all 30 minutes playing with the cats...I'll get to that later). Ignoring this red flag, I naively bought the time slot not knowing what was about to ensue. The people working at the front desk told us to be wary, as some of the cats were "nippy." This was the second red flag I ignored. How stupid I was. As soon as my friends and I walked into the cat room, we immediately felt that something was off when we noticed that all but one cat was willing to interact with us in the SLIGHTEST. The rest of the cats were completely aloof and got angry when you tried to pet them - my one friend came out with bleeding scratch marks, but the worker guilt-tripped us because we "should have known" that one of thecats didn't like it when many people surrounded them because it got overwhelmed. I'm sorry, but if you're going to advertise your cat cafe as a safe place where you can play and hang out with cats without having to worry about being scratched or bitten by clearly traumatized cats, then why do you have them out? This is not the guests' faults - you must take accountability for having these poor cats out in the first place and swindling people of their money. The only thing I will praise is how many of the cats have gotten adopted from here, which is honestly great, but I think there could be improvements made in terms of guest service and atmosphere, overall. P.S. If you wanted to use wordplay in naming your cafe, you would spell it "affoGATTO," as "gatto" means "cat" in Italian. Since the affogato is just an Italian drink, all you're doing is capitalizing the end of the word for no reason.

Coffee was amazing. First time having adffogato style coffee and most certainly will not be the last. If you plan on visiting the cute location to pet and socialize with the cats do plan on making a reservation ahead of time as you will not be granted access without it or for walk-in visits.

What can be said except that it has cats? Also includes a small cafe where you can have a drink ahead of time while waiting to hang out with cats, but obviously the big draw are the felines, which are numerous and adorable. Most of the cats are adoptable, which is good because it is fairly hard to leave without one.

I wish I could say my friends and I enjoyed our time at this café as the concept is great, but unfortunately the actual experience leaves much to be desired. We got to the cafe and a worker quickly explained to us the protocols for being around the cats and which ones were more aggressive/standoffish than others. When we got into the room none of us really knew which ones to avoid because 4 of them looked like the cat the girl described to us. As a result, one person in our group accidentally began to play with the aggressive cat, and he was scolded by a worker like a child. There was no need to be rude about it, especially since we all paid $11 for a calming experience. I get that they want the cats to be adopted, but why let aggressive cats roam around when they obviously do not want to be touched? I really love the mission of this cat café which is why I didn’t give one star, and I really hope cats continue to find homes because of them, but I would not come back. I would not recommend this cafe to young adults unless you want to be treated like children, but I do think it would be nice for an older crowd.

The cutest cat cafe around 😭 I would adopt everyone if I could 😭 we went with a group, for coffee here that was amazing, and played with cats all afternoon!!!

This is my favorite cafe in all of Tremont. The coffee, lattes, etc. are all delicious and made with knowledge and care. The muffins and other snack are locally sourced, the reservation system is easy to use and spending time with the cats is really fun. It's really cool that they foster cats until they get adopted and give people an opportunity to see them in a natural environment

One of the best experiences I’ve had at any cafe in my life. Found it by chance because the place I always would go to was closed. The staff was so kind and accommodating and the cafe is so unique. Even though we couldn’t go inside with the cats because it was reserved up due to Valentines Day, we had an amazing time watching them through the glass. The menu is unbelievable. Standard coffee/ espresso drinks made with the best quality but also unique things for people with a sweet tooth and also, the option for unsweetened ceremonial matcha- which is something that I was excited about because you don’t see that often with the option to get it in the form of a latte. Cute things to buy from local artists. I had to leave with a succulent planter which my friend and I decided was my personality the most. Someone was training a cat to sit at a post right by our table and put the cutest flower hat on it. I thought that was a kind gesture because we couldn’t go inside. Nothing but pure joy from our experience. The cats are treated with such care it’s so wonderful to see. You could tell this cat was completely unfazed by the hat and it was on loosely and never tried to take it off for at least an hour that it sat by us and just chilled.

My kids liked the cats. It was popular. Lots of customers. A little crowded in the cafe part. The cat room smelled pretty bad of litter. I would highly recommend using fresh step litter instead of whatever they have going on. Feel like I need a shower and change of clothes. It was cool that it is a rescue adoption place. The cats were mediocre friendly. Cool idea but could be done better.

Absolutely 💯!! Great and friendly staff. Cats were by appointment only but we had reservations weeks ahead. The cats are constantly being changed out to allow different adoption options. Also had great matcha lattes and cute little lamps and tarot cards for sale so grabbed 2 lamps and a tarot card deck. A definite must visit.

My cat-loving daughter (age 6) and I had a blast at the cafe! We opted for the extended session, which yes, was a little pricey, but definitely the right choice for us! (We know it funds a good cause!). We got there early and ordered drinks and a brownie, which we took inside with us. Eleanor was the lounge attendant in the room and was a DELIGHT. She was helpful and silly; she listened and answered EVERY question my chatty kiddo asked her. It was such a wonderful experience to play and love on cats and kittens- we will be back again and bringing more friends!

Easily my favorite cafe! I brought a cat-loving friend here for a belated holiday outing and she and I absolutely loved the entire experience. The staff was, to a person, kind, cheerful and knowledgeable and the coffee and pastries were delicious. But of course we mostly came for the kitties, and they did not disappoint. Our "guide" in the kitty room pointed out which cats loved to be petted and which preferred to be left alone, plus she gave us brief bios of all the feline residents. My friend was thrilled when one darling kitty gave her "kisses" and I was lucky enough to have another kitty rub against my legs and give me sweet head butts when I wasn't petting her fast enough. I wish I could've adopted one of the cats but my grumpy old man kitty is very much a loner and actually runs off the other neighborhood cats.

A wonderful visit. The staff was so friendly, helpful, and informative. Coffee and cupcakes were delicious. The cats were playful and sleepy! Make your reservation today 💕

Literally one of the best places I’ve been. When I went into the cat part of the cafe while I was there one of the cats ended up getting adopted and I almost cried it was so wholesome. The atmosphere and the employees are so nice and welcoming definitely recommend checking this place out!!

Glad we have one of these and have been here a few times. I can't say much about the food because I've mostly come here for the cats. You definitely need an appointment and they aren't open super late. They have a lot of weeby merchandise (ramen, pocky, and anime-related) if you're into that. The gal up front was friendly but also kind of nervous? The other gal in the cat room did a great job answering questions about all the cats. The cats were a mix of young and old. I like the wall of cat profiles so you know what toys specific cats like. Since a chunk of the cats are rescue's obviously some will be skittish and they do a good job letting you know which cats might not like to be petted. Some are even jealous of other cats. Some will side-eye you. lol Cats are going to cat.

so many cute kitties!!! all the kitties have different personalities! some of them are bitey or scratchy if you approach while they sleep, in my experience the older two, so let those kitties sleep! someone needs to adopt brooke because she's literally the perfect little baby. i loved them all of course but i don't know how she doesn't have a home! she's a little cuddle bug! i sat with her and pet her for like thirty minutes straight. if i didn't have a kitty at home who doesn't like other cats she would've come home with me! go check out the kitties and find your favourite!

This is a nice place to relax with a warm cup of coffee and enjoy the company of some cats. However, if you’re looking for cats to come right up and love you, this is not the place for you. The cats here are rescues, often arriving straight from the streets, and they behave like it. Expect some to be skittish, or even to give you the occasional swat if you decide to come too close. I had a hot chocolate, which was good, but by no means special. The food selection is a bit limited, but being a cafe and not a restaurant that is understandable. The staff were friendly, although I couldn’t help but feel a bit out of place going there alone. This is the kind of place I would recommend coming with a date or even a group so you have someone to talk to when the cats aren’t being affectionate.

Absolutely wonderful experience for a cat cafe. Special shout-out to the staff, who introduced all the cats and gave the vibe that they were enthusiastic about them. I was only visiting Cleveland for a weekend and only got a reservation on a family day and accidentally reserved one spot instead of the intended two, but the staff were accommodating of that and even allowed us to take a peek in the back for a bit where a lot of the cats were calmer and away from the visiting kids. You'd probably love it here if you enjoy cats, but the experience around it also went beyond expectations.

The food and drinks were delightful, with a variety of options including vegan/vegetarian. The coffee was great. Most importantly, the space was well curated to tend to the cats' needs. The attendant was knowledgeable and available to introduce the individual cats by name and with a snippet of personality. By far, I most appreciated their willingness to advocate for the less social cats. I will absolutely be back to hang again. It's slower in the morning, which affords you more time with the cats in a less overstimulating environment.

This place is amazing! One of my best friends adopted from here, and it has been one of the best thing she's ever done. I love how creative the menu names are! they have done an amazing job with the space they have been given. They are super accommodating of the cats space. The person who goes in with you to tell you about the cats ( I am so sorry I cannot remember your name to save my life) is wonderful. They're so sweet, and answer all of the questions you have. They give you all the information they possibly can about each and every cat in there.

This establishment does excellent work, the staff are highly knowledgeable about the cats in their care. Any questions were met with informed answers. They truly care for the cats of the cafe and it shows. Any medical or dietary restrictions are explained to prospective adopters to make sure that these cats are a proper fit. Plus the coffee drinks are excellent.
