Crema's Take

Nestled near Ithaca's State Theatre, this cozy cafe merges excellent coffee and pastries with an irresistible mission: it's a cat rescue sanctuary where adoptable felines roam freely, greeting visitors and stealing hearts between sips. The vegetarian-forward menu pairs beautifully with slow afternoons spent in the company of purring rescues, making it as much a refuge for cats as it is a genuine gathering spot for the community.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Wifi.

Please visit this adorable Cafe and adopt a cat if you are dedicated to loving cats. We had a great time here and if my sister and I didn't already have 12 cats between the 2 of us, we would have taken hone 2 or 3 of these lovey babies.

Alley Cat Cafe is a small little cafe with a big heart! If you love cats you will love this place. The menu is all vegetarian and can be vegan, but that didn't stop us from trying some bites. I'd recommend the chickpea curry salad it's so good. And a great quick bite. They also…
