Aristocat Cafe

Perfect start to Mother’s Day! My husband was worried about this and thought we would be sitting at a table and cats would just be walking all over the table and being in the way. That was absolutely not what happened. They have the cats in a separate room and you can go in the room and play with the cats or you can sit outside the room and watch the cats from your table.

The staff was welcoming and courteous, and the shop had a huge variety of different teas, coffee drinks, and little treats. You can also buy cat treats and catnip to give to the cats while you’re visiting them.

Obviously, the best part of the entire experience was the 10 or so cats that were in the loft. The cats were friendly, playful, and inquisitive. Everything you would expect from well socialized cats.

I can’t wait to do this again!

A beautiful and calming space with a large menu of tea, tea lattes, and coffee drinks. They also have a rotating selection of baked goods that are locally made. The cat room is clean and has a lot of space for the cats to relax, nap, play, and hide if they want. If you’re allergic to cats, you can still enjoy the cafe space since it’s completely separate from the cat room. Check out the cat murals in the bathrooms!

An awesome experience that is well worth the money. The coffee is brewed fresh and hot, and they have a pretty insane selection of different teas to choose from. They have about a dozen cats that you can pay to play with for an hour at a time, which is well worth the money. They have lots of toys, and the cats are all well behaved.

Wish there were more stars because I would rate 13 out of 5 for sure! Thank you so much Amanda for your hospitality, caring of our furry friends and delicious beverages! I can’t recommend more highly and can’t wait to return many times :)

Such a wonderful place to go and enjoy a great cup of tea! I am an avid cat lover so this was the perfect place for me! The only downside is the cost to see the cats, however I understand the need to supply them with food and litter! You can always just sit in and watch the cats from their viewing window which I think is also very nice! The cats were all sweet and unique. The cafe provides them with plenty of climbing and sleeping areas. Plus they can hide away if they are not feeling up to humans! I wish I could have took a couple kitties home! The ladies running the cafe were also very friendly and personable. They really know their stuff and have the best teas. I will recommend this cafe any time someone asks for something fun to do!

I cannot speak highly enough of Aristocat!!! We have gone a few times and have loved every moment of it. I'm not a huge cat person (mostly due to allergies). However, I have loved being able to watch the kitties play in their room and not sneeze!

The tea is so delicious. The owner has so much knowledge and passion for tea. The service is fantastic. I am so so so excited to have such a wonderful place in Harrisonburg!

It was a great experience and something I would recommend to anyone who loves cats. The cats were cute and many let you pet them, the staff was very nice and helpful, there was a lot of drink options, and even the other patrons were friendly. You can tell that the people who run this place deeply cares for the well-being of the animals and work hard to ensure a good life for the cats! They also sell really cute stickers, caps, and more! It is well worth the time and money to visit, and if I lived locally, I would easily become a regular customer.

New favorite cafe in town! I've only been once, and I LOVE this place. The space has a nice and inviting design, great for hanging out in to do work or chill. The two owners (who seem to be the only staff right now) are friendly and helpful. And the drinks are AMAZING! I got a lavender cold brew and loved it. Lots of stuff on the menu looked great, and they have weekly specials, so I'll be going back alot :) I'm not a cat person, so I'll just go for the cafe... But if you're feline inclined, you can make a reservation to spend time in the cat room. Everyone I saw with the cats seemed to enjoy it!

Great wifi, clean (gender neutral) bathrooms, handmade baked goods, high quality tea, fun company.

Cats are viewable from the cafe, separated by glass (allergy friendly).

PAwesome addition to the community - Thank You! 🐾

A fantastic addition to Harrisonburg! The café space is gorgeous, with a wide selection of tea and coffee, local artwork, and a pleasant atmosphere. The kitty room is any cat lover's dream! The cats have an amazing space to climb, play, and lounge around. I also appreciate that there's a cat door for them to escape to the back room if they get overstimulated; and décor to hide in if they're feeling shy.
