Had a wonderful experience at this Cat Cafe on 1/3/26 and 2/8/26. Plenty of cats to see, pet, and experience. It's a little annoying that the start times begin at the top of the hour. It's fine if you have a reservation but annoying for those that do a walk-in and you basically have less time or you wait until the next full hour starts. If it were me, I'd start at every top of the hour and half hour. Using colored wristbands. Each group still gets a full hour. They just start at two different times. Then rotate out each group with whatever colored wristband is tied to the start time. Using reusable colored spiral wristbands would help be eco friendly also. Overall, we still had an amazing time with the cats.

Yesterday we brought a group of mentally challenged adults & everyone had an amazing time! The service, coffee drinks & goodies were delicious & the cat's & kitties were so much fun & so lovable to all. I can't say it enough but we're going back again with our groups. Oh & try leaving there without adopting one of their beautiful kitties or cat's!!! Have fun everyone & Happy Holidays!

i LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! i’ve been wanting to go to the place for months! and it was definitely worth going! when i walked into the cafe, it smelt pretty good!! i didn’t get anything tho so i don’t know if the food is good or not… i was only there for the cats😍 and let me tell ya, the cats are ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! but, you have to pay to go see the cats which is kinda stupid. but they said the money goes to the cats that are in need of help and stuff so that’s awesome😁 the cats were super cute and adorable, and they were pretty chill! i would definitely come back again!!!

What an awesome concept. Enjoy both coffee and petting fur babies. Most of them were napping. Still able to pet them all. A few woke up to play, eat and be petted. If I go again, I was told it is best to be there in the morning for the cats active times. There is an hourly fee of $10.50/hr during the week and $15/hour on weekends, closed on Mondays. Rules to abide by, understandable. I have to be honest I felt gipped because most of the cats were sleeping, not their fault of course but was boring in that sense. The coffee drink was very good. I would recommend the Calico. Overall, if I go again it will be in the morning.

I was there this morning (Oct 30th, 11am) with my school. I have cat allergies, but it was still really fun to sit at a table and watch the cats through the window! I got a mocha and it was AMAZING. The cats seemed really playful and cuddly. They have cat toys you can use to play with them, and everyone loved them! The atmosphere was really cozy and friendly. They also sell cat toys amongst other things like hats. 10/10, would recommend!!! (Even if you have cat allergies)
