Coffee Cats Cafe

OH MY GOD THIS PLACE!!!! 😻😻😻😻😻 Great Coffee but even better Cats!!!! Come for the cats stay for the Coffee!

Cool concept, coffee was good! I was hoping I could go in and pet the cats if I was a customer, but it costs extra. It’s nice you can at least see them through the window.

I adopted a cat from here and her name was Tsuki (her name is Artemis now ❤️) and she is honestly the best friend I could ever ask for. She still only comes out of hiding for me but she’s adapting so well. This place has very social cats and I would highly recommend just going and spending some time with the cats but I really suggest adopting from here. It’ll be the best decision you’ve ever made!

Beautiful cats! Nice people! Wonderful aesthetics! But you had to pay to get to actually see the cats which really disappointed me when I went in. At least the hot chocolate was good.

Masks are thankfully required during the pandemic. The cafe area is cute and has a little window to watch the cat area while you drink and eat. Dairy free options for beverages but not for baked goods. However, they use a local baker which is nice.

The cat area is big enough to spread out when there are limited amounts of people. While I was there, the total number of people to start was six but dwindled to four, and we could easily social distance from each other.

The cats are all adoptable, and there's a file on each one if people are interested. I really loved this little cat café, and I would be willing to go back to support them.

My first time being there.. I loved it ❤❤❤ the kitties are just so adorable and so sweet
It's my favorite new place in Des Moines

My wife and daughter love this place and have been many times but today was my first time and I did not enjoy myself.

There were maskless people in the room with me. This was a bit anxiety inducing.

Added, although the other customers in the room obviously liked cats, they didn't seem to understand them. People forcing interactions on cats who wanted nothing more than to just take a morning nap was just as irritating for me to watch as it was for the cats to tolerate. A couple of people got warning bites because cats were tired of people forcing them to interact.

My elderly mother was bitten by one of their cats on 4/3. Staff offered first aid, but did not make any kind of incident report, report to the ARL, Animal Control, or the city of West Des Moines. This was illegal, as it is Iowa law that the owner/responsible party immediately report such incidents to local health officials and law enforcement. Despite cleaning the wound immediately, she is currently in the hospital with a severe infection. The hospital facilitated the reporting to Animal Control, who were very upset the cafe did not file a report immediately. The cafe did not remove or quarantine the cat, and had absolutely no protocol for this incident. Accidents happen, but they severely mishandled the incident.

This is a darling little shop with lovely ARL cats for adoption for petting (my grandbabe adopted one today!) for a reasonable fee. The cats are such sweeties (obvs. a biased cat-person opinion), the staff are informed and super-friendly and helpful, and the coffee, food, and patio seating are awesome! They also have lots of brilliant cat accessories and whatnot for sale! I love this place. If you're allergic to cats but love them anyway and you're weary of only watching them on youtube? You can go in through the patio cafe entrance, get a coffee/tea/cream soda/snack/whatever and watch them through the windows. Definitely a Vally Junction treasure.

This place is extremely calm and inviting. They have really cute stuff like collars and toys to purchase. Their coffee is great and the cats are adorable (of course). Highly recommend!
