Love the giant cat mural painted on the building, perfect for photo ops! Get a coffee or cold drink and enjoy the company of cats that are available for adoption. These furry creatures are friendly and sweet. I fell in love with Leo. This is my happy place to go to when we are in San Diego.

I cannot give this place enough praise! Such a great place to go and have great coffee and play with the cutest cats. Such a good idea, the cats can be adopted too. This place is truly amazing. Will definitely return again.

A perfect place for some kitten cuddles and coffee drinks. The coffee is great, but the cat room is the star for sure! Great staff too. Go cuddle some kittens, you won't regret it.
