If you are a cat lover (or just have a soul), Kitty Cat Cafe in Peabody is a total must-visit. It's…read morea registered 501(c)3 nonprofit that shelters about 10 cats at a time, and you can instantly feel the passion Cora, Uri, and the volunteers have for rescue work. They've created a space that is the true definition of "mi casa es tu casa"--the cats basically own the place, roaming around freely while they rehabilitate and wait for their forever homes. It's so heartwarming to see them in such a chill, loving environment. What I appreciated most, though, was the educational side of the experience. They really take the time to highlight FIV kittens--which is basically the cat equivalent to HIV--and explain how they can live totally normal, happy lives with just a few standard precautions. Cora even touched on the biases that exist, even among vets, so I loved that I left not only feeling fuzzy from cat cuddles but also a lot more informed. Whether you're looking to adopt a new best friend or just want to spend some quality time with some kitties, I highly, highly recommend checking this place out and supporting their mission! As for food, you can bring in anything you'd like and if you're there for their tail thumping thursdays, you can also order delivery to it. They cannot serve food due to local laws and guidelines. They do have packaged snacks and drinks you can purchase to enjoy. In addition, they have merch you can also purchase. All purchases, including tickets, help fund the nonprofit.

Its very cute inside, has inside dining which you will probably want to utilize because these croissants make a mess! Lol Definitely worth a look while in federal hill for a sweet early treat!

I recommend taking a wee stroll around the garden just outside the building. They did a great job revamping the business located inside. The new Ansel Gurney café offers yummy eats and beautiful views if you get the opportunity to sit out on the deck. I recommend getting one of the panini's!!! Also, they have a shop inside called Strawberry Moon which has all of the things you didnt know you needed but you most definitely need! Crystals, candles, plants, accessories, and so many smelly goods!!

I enjoyed the experience and interacting with the cats was very fun. The cat combo that comes with…read moreabout 10 treats and a little blanket covered in catnip was worth it. The cats were adorable. The room is much smaller than it seems in pictures. 10 people max are allowed in the room which I personally thought was too much. I think something more like 5 or 6 is more reasonable, but even then with a new group coming in every hour this may be a lot for the animals. I like this model for cats to live in temporarily and then get adopted into a regular home. I honestly feel bad for the resident cats and wonder if all these new people all the time overwhelms them. I wish there was another room only they could go to when they want to. I wouldn't mind this type of set up at all. Overall, I still enjoyed the experience I just hope the set up is in the best interest of the animals especially the residents that live there. Honestly, if I were to find another similar cafe with a lot more room for the cats (and people) and a setup where they could leave the room to relax I'd probably go there instead. I just wish the best for all the adorable cats here!

Both the cornbread muffin and quiche were tasty and fresh. Comes with berries and yogurt as a side. Note these are kids portions. They also have a nice selection of smoothies and ice / drip coffee (no espresso drinks though). Kid safe utensils and plates are also provided. The play area has a variety of toys and books to entertain little ones. There is a warm and inviting ambience and everything is neat and organized despite all the kids. Worth a visit if you are in JP with your kids and need a breakfast or lunch spot for them. Make sure you check their hours though. I believe they are closed Mon and Tue.

They have the nostalgic 90s music theme of records we all love and you are immediately greeted by friendly staff. I also loved the familiar favorites on their menus with a unique twist. Not to mention at great prices! I stopped for a hot chocolate at first because it was pretty chilly in the morning. It was absolutely incredible. On the way back from errands I tried the Woo-Rito which I heard is a crowd favorite. It did not disappoint. I made a few exceptions..I did order it without the hot sauce but I added the spicy mayo and it gave it the perfect zing it needed. Absolutely love this place & love the staff. I'm a student from out of state attending a university & they make Woo feel just like home. Wish I would have come to this cafe sooner because it's absolutely incredible. 10/10 recommend.

One plus is that they do have some gluten-free options, which is always appreciated, so it's definitely doable if you have a gluten allergy. Overall, it's a convenient lunch spot if you're nearby, affordable, easy but not necessarily a must-visit.
