Staff are amazing, the drinks and food are delicious and I love spending time in the beautifully designed cat lounge.
Definitely a must see destination.

Lovely place for animal/cat lovers. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. We went in just for fun and left having applied for adoption. Darn cute kitties.

Great place and atmosphere. The animals are well cared for and are regularly adopted out so it's rare to see the same cat twice.

I absolutely love that this café opened up! The environment is very friendly and the cats are just adorable. However, there are a few things that can be improved upon. I do wish there were more seating options in the cafe area besides the tiny stools and the brick hard bench along the wall. Maybe add pillows or mix match chairs scattered about. I also didn't care for the few drinks I've tried so far and there aren't many options for food either. Maybe I'm just not getting the right thing but so far It's been ok.
The cat room operation system is also a bit wonky. There are large amounts of people and sometimes children scheduled to go into the cat room constantly and the cats are clearly tired. Some people think its a good idea to bring a school of kids into the cat room and let them chase the cats around until they are exhusted. When I got a chance to finally go in the cats were all tuckered out and not trying to be bothered. It's not good for the kitties and the people who paid to hang out with them. Although most people are understanding it could still be worked on. It's also a bit inconvenient that if you're looking to adopt you aren't allowed to hold or pick up the cats. It's hard to read a cats personality or temperament by just looking at them sleep.
The cafe has only been open a short time so it's ok to have a few bumps in the road. It's still a great place to visit and you should definitely check them out. There's something there for everyone and they may add things as they go! Check em out and enjoy the environment.
Edit: It's been about 6 months since opening and I went back in to see if anything has changed. The answer is not really. As a person with anxiety I go to the cat cafe because I want to chill out in a relaxing environment. I feel weird staring into the small windows trying to see cats but end up staring at another person who's just trying to enjoy their session in the cat room. I ended up adopting a cat from here, who I love, but I did feel very pressured at the time to adopt and with my anxiety I felt like I couldn't say no. I don't have a problem with him but he does have a very different temperament than when he was in the cafe.
The last couple drinks I've gotten were really bitter and tangy. I got the affagato last time thinking it was ice cream and espresso mixed or blended but it was just a scoop of ice cream in a cup with hot espresso shots on top. I also wish they had more food options then dessert. The hard rolls aren't really anything, it's just bread with spreads. I get that they have a German theme going on but I'm sure there's got to be more options in German cafes.
I say all this not to say the place is bad because it's not. It's still nice to see a cat cafe open, cats finding forever homes and they're making the most out of the location. I know they're still fairly new and small so its no big deal just some constructive criticism.
