Alley Cat Cafe

Staff is so easy to get along with. They love their jobs and it's easy to tell. The macaroons are the best I've ever had. And the coffee is amazing.

The best part of course, visiting the kitties. Plenty of hiding, sleeping, resting places for them as well as many toys and obstacles for them to be enriched with. They're very happy as well as the customer.

Space is relaxed, easy to just chill. LGBTQ+ friendly. Absolutely the best part of our trip to Ithaca.

Too cute! I went to the Alley Cat Cafe and it’s been a really nice experience overall. Petting the cats and kittens are $5 for every 30 minutes and you get to choose whether you want high energy (kittens) or low energy (older cats) rooms. I haven’t ate a lot of the options in the Cafe but one that I definitely recommend is the Catprese (spelling may differ). The Cafe feels homey and can get busy at times. One thing I would look out for is the price and serving size of the different sandwiches. Overall a good place!

This was my first time going to a cat cafe, so I suppose I had high expectations which may have affected my experience. Our visit was just okay. The food (Jaguar) and drinks (Cat Lady and Dirty Chai) weren't spectacular. I'd give 3.5 stars if I could in the optimism that this was an off day, but this is what I didn't like. First, there was clutter. There seemed to be piles of random stuff (not merchandise) here and there both in the restaurant area and in the seating areas. A mop and bucket should not be visible to customers unless actively being used... and it shouldn't ever be propped up near a food counter. The big, grungy sink/drain directly behind the counter should not be visible either. Guys, just put a tapestry, screen, poster, whatever.
What I did like was the vibe. I liked the local artists on display. It was a chill place to come get some laptop work done, enjoy your coffee, or visit some cats!

This is a must visit place. Great vibes and ambiance. Variety of coffee and tea selections. If you are into Cats - spend time with for $ 5 for 30 mins. Make sure you reserve a time they get booked very fast. The cats are amazing even though I’m not into Cats ! Beautiful place in a nice corner.

The very definition of vibes, the low energy room is nice and chill your going to have to work for the cats to play with you. If you go to the high energy room, you won't be disappointed either. Aside from the cats which is priced at $5 per 30 minutes, the café itself offers a variety of baked goods and hot or cold beverages, that are worth the price for an stay.

Awesome little cafe with vegan goodies and adoptable cuties from a local rescue. Staff was friendly and welcoming as were the cats, and the food was delish!

We had a lovely time at this adorable place! The staff is warm and accommodating. It was nice that the cats had various rooms in which to roam freely. The prices were fair, and the cats were well-loved. If you need a cat fix, this is your spot. 💓

Okay, this place is 5 stars to the power of 12 because cats!, but I could only choose 5 stars. The food, drinks, and atmosphere are decent, but let's be honest you're here for the cats. And they are the stars. They shine in the two rooms, one for calmer and one for more lively. They have a range of ages and so many are excited to see you. One kitten even rested on me! Of course there are some real characters, like one who constany hogs a bean bag and looks dead if you don't watch it breathe. Another doesn't give a darn about anything except the window. Hope you visit these royal babies!

I loved it here! The cafe had really good calm vibes and the food and drinks were nice, and the cats (my favorite part) were really cute and fun :) the staff was also very nice

Pistachio latte was amazing. They had a nice selection of drinks and the cats were adorable. $5 for 30 min with them.
