Crema's Take

This cozy Hamden spot ingeniously blends cat cuddles with coffee culture, offering a genuinely interactive experience where you can sip thoughtfully crafted drinks while surrounded by an exceptionally friendly 28-cat family that actively seeks your attention. The staff creates such a welcoming, unhurried atmosphere that guests regularly extend their visits, and the cafe cleverly rotates special programming like yoga-with-cats sessions that transform a simple coffee outing into something genuinely memorable. With consistently stellar reviews praising both the animals' sweetness and the quality of the experience, it's become the kind of place where meeting a friend, celebrating a birthday, or simply needing a dose of feline joy all feel equally right.

What to expect

Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Family friendly. Wifi.

We had so much fun here! We booked a 50 min session and went at the end of the day so some of the kitties were just done being bothered for the day. We went around the time they were feeding though so we got to help feed them dinner and a lot of the cats were ready and waiting.…
