Cool Beans Cat Cafe

I took my 7 year old cat-obsessed son on a date here and he had the time of his life! The cats were so sweet and friendly, and it was a fun new experience that I didn’t expect to find in Gastonia. Good coffee too.

I didn’t know there would be a fee to go into the cat room, but it was worth it and we will be back! 🐱

What an amazing shop! The coffee is fantastic!! I love the atmosphere and the decor. Back where the cats are is so much fun. They are doing amazing things to find these babies homes. Everyone of them are happy, heathy and well adjusted floofs! This is a must try in downtown Gastonia!

My boyfriend surprised me and took me here and it was the best day of my life! All of the cats are so sweet, calm and well cared for. Highly recommend! The staff was also extremely nice and helpful.

What a wonderful place! I went there for the first time yesterday, and it was absolutely amazing!
The coffee was delicious, and the cats were adorable. One even came up to me and sat on me! Friendly staff, friendly cats, good coffee, this place has everything good in the world!

This place was pretty cool. My friends wanted to go and truthfully it's not something I'd get excited to do, but it doesn't cost much and it helps kitties find loving homes. I think it's great for people that can't have pets and also good therapy too. I have 3 sweet cats at home, so it was like sitting at home for me, but it was really nice and clean and cute. The lady up front was very friendly. Overall, I wouldn't mind spending $10 and am hour of my time here again.

Coffee was great and cats were adorable and so friendly and well loved. My kids loved the muffins and playing with the cats.

I took my children to cool beans tonight and we all had a wonderful time. Will return. The woman running the place was very nice and the drinks were great. Such a nice place!

This was such a neat experience and so close to home! The owner is very nice and the cats are precious.
We ordered an Irish creme Frappuccino and 30 minutes of play time with the cats, and it was well worth it!

Went to grab a quick coffee and for our son to play with cats for a few minutes but were informed that it was $7/person and $2 kids for 30 minutes with the cats. I personally feel that it is too much to have a coffee with cats around. Then we got our coffee and I think the barista forgot to put the coffee in either of our drinks. We had a latte and an Americano with an extra espresso shot and still couldn’t taste any coffee flavor. There was a good bit of other customers in there and the barista was by herself so we just left.

Great coffee, affordable used books, and cats to pet and play with. I couldn’t ask for much more in an establishment. This was my first visit, but I have a feeling I’ll be spending a lot of time getting caffeinated and petting cats here 😁
