Cat Daddy's Cat Café
2533 Main St, Columbia, SC
Crema's Take
“This cozy cat café in Columbia pairs genuinely excellent espresso-focused coffee with the irresistible appeal of hanging out among a collection of sweet, well-cared-for cats in a genuinely warm atmosphere. The owner and staff go out of their way to explain their specialty drinks and make everyone feel welcomed, whether you're settling in with a book, playing games, or just melting into the relaxed vibe with the felines. It's the kind of place where the coffee is serious but the whole experience is joyfully unpretentious—perfect for a long sit with friends, family, or just a cat or two.”

Awesome little unique spot where you can enjoy coffee and the company of alot of sweet cats 🐈 The family enjoyed it immensely. All of the cats were friendly and are well taken care of
Such a lovely place! We spent a great time with the cats, relaxed, played a bit, and enjoyed the cozy vibe. There are books and games, which made it even nicer. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming. Me and the kids loved it so muc
This little gem was such a great adventure! The atmosphere was immediately warm and welcoming and the service from the staff was top notch! She took the time to explain all the different beverages they offer and was very patient with my kids, who LOVE cats, as they were very distracted with the cute and cozy gift shop while ordering. She was great about explaining how the cafe works while not make it overwhelming and they even bring your drinks to you in the cat room, and the drinks were delicious! The cat room was abundant with outgoing cute kittens who loved the attention and to play! The room itself was incredibly clean, not even a hint of even a litter box smell! I particularly enjoyed the TV cycling through all the cats and their personalities and names. Overall, it was $50 before tip for my two kids and I and our drinks so it did end up being just a LITTLE bit pricier than expected but it was definitely worth it if you love hanging out with cats while sipping delicious beverages! We will be back!
We recently visited a lovely cat café and had a truly delightful experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the owner and staff, all of whom were incredibly friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about the animals in their care. The environment was cozy, clean, and thoughtfully designed to ensure both the comfort of the cats and the guests. There were plenty of soft spaces to sit and relax while enjoying a drink, and the atmosphere was calm and inviting. The cats were well-socialized and seemed happy and healthy. They freely roamed around, interacting with guests on their own terms, which made for some sweet and spontaneous moments. My daughter absolutely loved the visit—she was so excited to meet each of the cats, and the staff made her feel special, answering her questions and encouraging gentle interaction. They even helped her learn the names and personalities of the cats, which made it a really engaging experience for her. The drinks and snacks were great too, with a good variety to choose from. You can tell a lot of love goes into this place. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and heartwarming outing, especially for families.
I absolutely adore this cat cafe. I have been to other cat cafes and this is definitely my favorite one so far. The price to see the cats is the best I have seen, the drink and food options are good (the dalgona coffee is so delicious!), and the gift shop is so cute! I have been here twice so far and I plan to be a regular when I need to destress. Please see the photos I took below. Feel free to use them if you want Cat Daddy!
