Went here for Mother's Day and brought my mom as it was her gift. She was very excited to see the cats. It was our first time and we had no idea there was reservations. As people left, I asked if my mother could go in for just a couple minutes for her Mother's Day gift to see a cat quick. The worker without any sympathy said no. As a first time guest, this will be our last time. We will see other cafes with kinder employees. I suggest hiring more friendly baristas. Unfortunately my social medias will be sharing this story to my followers and influencer pages. Looks like Mason's cat cafe will be getting more business.

Love this place. I had a bananas foster coffee which was one of the best coffees I've ever had. But the kitties were adorable too, and this is a great idea!

Probably one of the best cat cafe I've ever been too, and I've been to a few! The drinks are tasty and the cats are CUTE! If you stop by definitely say hello to their resident cat Meowrville Wright, he's a sweetheart.

This was my first experience at a cat café. Café wise, they have a great selection of drinks and some small pastry items. They have seating that is free from cats so you can go for a normal cafe experience. As for the cat part, it was cool seeing all their different personalities come into play. There are definitely some cats that will try to steal your food. Overall, it's a fun and charming café.

Took my friend and had a blast. Drinks were delicious and kitties were obviously adorable.

Awesome people work here, and they are so friendly! We frequent this place very often with the kid’s. Our daughter recently adopted a loving, cute, playful and energetic kitty. Our new family member is very happy, and so are we! Thank you Gem City!! 😺💚

Staff was amazing - they helped me with a friend who uses a wheelchair & explained all the rules & options. Space is adorable and set up for cats but humans are comfortable too

Love the vibe and even if you can't get in to love on some cats (you need to make a reservation) you can have looking at them through the glass. And the coffee is good too but they lose points for not having more vegan pastries

Cats and coffee?!? What is there not to love? Their adoptable kitties always love your company.

Don’t ask the owner to share any recipes on social media … interested in their bakes, which they hashtagged with well-known recipe-sharing Instagram profiles, got me blocked for some reason from their gemcitybakehouse Instagram account. Maybe a blessing.

Loved their special turmeric latte, and cats are so cute. Need to book in advance to get into the cat room. Wasn't sure where to park at first but it worked out. Stairs to get up into house, my mom was able to get up with help. Definitely will return.

I had high expectations going into this place and I still wasn't let down. Great time, especially for a fun and casual date.

I've been here many, many times for the food and drink, which is always on-point, and it's nice to get to watch the kitties while reading or working at my table downstairs. I usually get a coffee drink, but their other options like their bubble-teas are also delicious! The staff are always super quick and helpful. I have only gone into the cat room once, but the process was easy, and all the cats were playful and well-cared-for. The room was so clean that even as a person with pretty bad cat allergies, I was hardly bothered even with being in there for the full hour. Definitely stop by if you can - I recommend reserving a spot online because it can sometimes get a little crowded during certain peak hours.
