I am in absolute kitty heaven 😍You can set up reservations or walk-ins (depending on the day and time) to play with the cats. There’s plenty of coffee options to choose from, and there’s a mini kitty shop where they sell pins, shirts, hoodies, socks, coloring books, earrings, and more!There’s a separate cat area where you can spend time with the cats, and a cafe area with tables and chairs a huge glass window to watch them.The play area was very clean with air purifiers placed in various parts of the room, and the owner Kim, popped in a couple of times during our 1 hour visit to scoop from their kitty litter.Overall, I had a great first experience, and I’ll be back for more 😸

So happy to have a cat cafe close to me! I love that you can go there as a cafe in a room separate from the cats, so I stop by sometimes when I’m near there but don’t have a reservation. The chai latte was delicious and the cats were so much fun! They also offer merchandise that cat lovers would love. It’s great that the cats are adoptable as well!

Loved my time at this cafe ! I came here with my friend after making an appointment and had a great time. All the cats are so adorable and fun to play with/watch! A great activity to do in the area that isn't just going out to eat. I didn't try any of the drinks but they seemed fairly priced and offered a variety of options ! The employees of the place were also very kind and hospitable. I would definitely come back and recommend.

If you’re looking for a 10 out of 10 pawsome experience look no further than our furry friends at the cat Lady Café. Whether you are serious about adopting, or you’re just looking for some thing relaxing to do for an afternoon, this place has exactly what you need. My favorite aspect is definitely the cats, but the wonderful staff, and the sparkly lemonade is always The best part. A wonderful local business providing necessary resources, and a little bit of cat tastic therapy!Kid-friendliness: This is a perfect place to bring your children. Extremely family, friendly, just be mindful that the cats like to be quiet and calm. I’ve seen kids do really well here, and as a result, lots of fur babies finding forever homes.

Sooo cute!! Snuggle with adoptable cats while drinking coffee in a charming space. The owner was also incredibly helpful when we made a mistake ordering our tickets online, so I’m very grateful to her for that assistance! It’s purrfect.

I’ve been to this place atleast 6 times, probably more, and it is one of my favorite places in town. They offer coffee (I recommend the s’mores latte) and some baked goods, as well as water and lemonade, and their cat lounge is so lovable. They recently got some new kittens in, and they are so adorable! Love this place so much! Weekly visits are like cat therapy.

All cat lovers in the area must visit The Cat Lady Cafe! Parking at the Commerce Center is easy (and free!), then just follow the signs through the hallways toward the back of the building where the cafe is located. The cafe itself has a limited drink menu and isn't the best coffee ever, but we all know the stars of the show are the cats, not the drinks. (There is oat milk for all my fellow vegans though, yay!) There is merchandise (apparel, stickers, etc.) available for purchase, and reservations are affordable and convenient to book. The cat lounge itself is relatively small, but the cats are healthy and happy with a clean space, tons of natural light pouring in, so many toys and places to snooze, and lots of love. The passion behind this project is obvious, and I am so excited to watch the cafe continue to grow with our community!Parking: free parking lot with ample space

This isn't exactly what we pictured when's coming to a cat cafe. The cats are kept separate from the dining area, and it costs $6 per person for half an hour. The actual shop is cozy and the man working was incredibly nice, even though his wife wasn't in to make drinks. In the end it wasn't exactly what we were looking for, but anyone who does better research than us is sure to love it! haha

Staff was very friendly and helpful in selecting drinks. Coffee was really tasty with oat milk as a non dairy option. They accept tap pay from phones and cards making service easy and quick. They were very informative about their mission for the coffee house.Kid-friendliness: We had about 4 children ranging from ages 5-15 with us. There is a tabletop video game in the back sitting room. The kids were able to play on it while we waited for our drinks. If you can’t get a scheduled time to visit with the cats you can still observe the room through the windows.

Kim and team have done an amazing job with this place! It is an excellent addition to the Michiana community. The cat room is comfortable, and it’s a great atmosphere to hang out with the kitties.
