Catnip Cat Cafe
1611 Colley Ave, Norfolk, VA
Crema's Take
“This Norfolk haven perfectly blends specialty coffee culture with genuine cat rescue work, creating a uniquely relaxed gathering spot where you can sip quality coffee while surrounded by adoptable felines waiting for their forever homes. The thoughtfully designed space accommodates both solo coffee enthusiasts and groups comfortably, with well-timed 30-minute sessions that let you unwind without feeling rushed, and staff who clearly care about both the cats' welfare and your experience. Whether you're visiting during a kitten-filled event or a quieter afternoon, you'll find a stress-melting atmosphere where the coffee tastes better knowing your visit directly supports rescue animals in genuine need of socialization and care.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Family friendly.
