El Jefe Cat Cafe
3025 N Campbell Ave Suite 151, Catalina Foothills, AZ
Crema's Take
“This cat café trades serious specialty coffee for the novelty of three floors of adoptable cats, making it more of a petting zoo with espresso than a destination for coffee lovers. The $14/hour admission covers unlimited cat interactions and surprisingly solid seating for studying or hanging with friends, though reviews hint at inconsistent supervision and lingering odor issues. If you're visiting with kids or want a quirky afternoon distraction in the heat, it delivers; if you're after great coffee, skip it.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Family friendly.

First time visit during cat bingo! I love a lot of things about this place, the mission, the treatment of the cats, the equipment and seating. However, I found the smell pretty strong, cat urine in particular. It might be a one time issue, as I have not been back. The bingo…

This place was fun, took the kids as something to do since it’s hot outside. The kittens were their favorite part, they had two small kittens that were very playful and sweet. A lot of the older cats didn’t want to be messed with but there were a handful of sweet cats that would…
