Mew Haven Cat Cafe
904 Whalley Ave, Hamden, CT
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.”

Amazing and adorable cats! We picked the earliest time slot and had an amazing time - even ended up extending because we had such a great time and experience. The only downside we had, not the Cafés fault, were families that let their rambunctious children loose in the Cafe and were incredibly aggressive with the cats which caused many of them to be agitated or hide away from everyone. Other than that, an amazing time and will definitely be going back when we come back to explore New Haven
My Girlfriend and I decided to visit the cafe for her birthday and we had a great time. Most of the cats were sleeping and we didn’t want to disturb them but there were a couple playful ones we had fun with. Deirdre was such a sweet heart. She came right up to us and let us pet her to sleep. Unfortunately Our landlord doesn’t allow pets, but I highly recommend this cafe for anyone who’s looking to find a furry friend. We will 100% be back again.
My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Yoga with Cats at Mew Haven. It was such a fun time to be able to do something that you love and share it with so many cats, to make it 100% times more enjoyable experience. The yoga instructor made the class enjoyable and fun. The socialization time with the cats after class was amazing. We loved interacting with the kitties. The time we spent at Mew Haven was absolutely wonderful!
Such a lovely place to visit. They had 28 cats and all of them were extremely friendly and most even walked up for pets and attention. Plenty of toys to play with the cats as well. The staff was extremely friendly. The gift shop was very very reasonably priced and had a lot to offer for being a smaller side part of the cage. The coffee was amazing and the cinnamon roll was to die for. I even picked up a tees short because it's a place I wouldn't mind showing I went to.
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. They had all the info about each cat and they were all available for adoption which was great. The staff were very knowledgeable . I’m attaching some photos I took. I think this is a great way to get people in and to adopt. Or to just spend some time with friendly cats. I believe all kitties in my photos are available for adoption. We will be back for sure!!
