Catzen Coffee
1416 Grand Ave, Saint Paul, MN
Crema's Take
“This Saint Paul cat café roasts espresso-focused drinks that reviewers praise for their rich, flavorful quality, but the real magic is in the room full of affectionate cats—Joe, Babybel, Tim, and Leroy—that you can hang out with while sipping your latte. The space strikes that rare balance of being both a serious coffee destination and a genuinely welcoming spot to linger for hours, with staff that's genuinely enthusiastic about making your visit special and keeping everything impeccably clean. It's the kind of place where a perfectly pulled shot and a purring cat on your lap feel like they were meant to go together.”

i cannot wait to come back again & again! joe and babybel were the two main ones out when i was in the cat den, but there were appearances from the beloved tim and leroy after i left. you can view the cat den from the cafe area after your reservation ends :) i love that the cats are free to roam from the basement up to the cat den because you can tell that they get a little overwhelmed sometimes and need that space. the cats are very clearly well taken care of, and so incredibly adorable. the staff members were all so kind and inviting, and the strawberry matcha was incredible! 10/10 ❤️
Really cute place for 10 beautiful cats very chill and friendly. If you buy any type of drink or food items you can go into the cat area and play with them. There is a also space for people who don't necessarily want to go in or are allergic to cats that can see them from a distance in the back! The coffee and food is would say is average good coffee.
Woow!!!!!!! Absolutely amazing cafe. I'd recommend anyone and everyone to come visit!! Fran and Vanessa were super kind and fast with service in making me my drink & prepping other things too! I just got a classic cold brew with some caramel and oat milk and yummm!!! Delish! The croissant was absolutely lovely as well!! Colm was the host when I visited and they were so kind! They came in & told me about some of the kitties and even gave me a sticker when Tim the cat was begging for some pets! The kitties are super kind and cozy to be around. If you visit, please be patient and work on the cats terms! It's their place, not yours, so please respect their space! Kids are allowed during specific days/times for limited amounts of times, but please only bring kids that are very respectful and won't disturb/chase after kitties. They aren't a toy or something to be held, annoyed, or rough housed with. I absolutely will be coming back! Staff (including kitties) and drinks are so great! Couldn't recommend this place enough.
This is such a lovely spot. I could spend hours here without getting bored. If you love cats, then this is the best cat cafe. The coffees were great - my latte was really good, flavorful, rich, and smooth. The staff were incredible, too. Definitely worth checking out at least once if you're in the area.
Very enthusiastic and friendly staff. Very clean building and cat room. Good food, coffee, and other non-alcoholic drinks. Cozy cat room. Quiet and comfortable. The room is set up to be enjoyed at length with many books supplied and many toys to entice the cats with. Had a good time. Enjoyed Tim the Enchanter Very much. Very friendly cat.
