Crema's Take
“The Purrfect Bean combines genuinely excellent espresso drinks with a cat sanctuary experience, so you're getting skilled baristas who actually care about your order alongside adoptable kittens roaming the space. The morning slots are prime time if you want playful cats and quality coffee without the afternoon crowd, and the staff's enthusiasm about both the beans and the animals makes it feel like a place that's actually passionate about what it does. Go if you want a relaxing sit-down coffee experience with real character, or skip it if you need minimal distractions—the cats aren't an afterthought here.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Family friendly.

Love the bean! Delicious drinks, and friendly staff. And the cutest cats! I recommend booking the 10:00 am slot- it’s the first one in the day so the kitties are ready to play and cuddle.
