Yes, it's a retail shop. Shopping is boring. Blah blah But this Harry Potter store was amazing! There are interactive installments like casting your own patronus, getting a picture in Hagrid's giant shoes, making a pretend call in a London phone booth (aka Minister of Magic entrance), watching Dumbledore's Gryffindor door swing around and getting a butterbeer from the cafe. We loved our visit and our purchases. Much better quality stuff than Amazon

I also like how the special drinks are related to the authors featured in the store. Staff is very attentive and friendly. My only gripe (not a huge one) are the hours during the weekday being so short (as of now, the place closes at 2 PM.) I could only go there during my days off and even then I gotta plan early. Other than that, this is a great place to support. I will definitely continue to go there.

They also have a little section where you can purchase jewelry, coasters and keychains just to name a few. There is some seating here to enjoy your coffee at. They have a few food items too, but I did not get food. I tried the Turkish coffee and an iced latte. The Iced latte was very milky. The Turkish coffee I really only got because it comes in a beautiful pot/cup. It is not something I would think I like but I was wrong. I liked it more than the Iced latte. I was shocked. Their cups they have here are cute as you can see in the pictures. It is a good vibes only place. If I am in the area I would deff come back and try out a different drink and give it another chance.

Even if I can't have my own cat, I'm happy to visit a cat café to interact with some cats and support with my attention and money. Maybe they have to close due to slow business is. There was only three people in my hour and two the next. The half hour sessions seem to be more popular with maybe a dozen people. I used to come here more often until I discovered Meow Parlour. It's much much cleaner and brighter and spacious. It doesn't bother me but Koneko cats tend to be older and less playful which may be not as fun for some guests. I find it calming to watch sleeping cats or just observing them roam around. Not sure when Koneko started offering drinks for all full hour bookings regardless of time. It used to be limited to their happy hour session which would end up being almost $30. This time, the drinks are included and a limited selection is included. Matcha, lattes, and mochas are $3 extra. I think it's fair. I got the oolong four season and was impressed with it. In general I don't expect a cat café to have good tasting food/drinks because the focus is on cats. I wonder if they cold brew all their teas because I saw the barista prepping batches of other teas. The long steeps can also explain why I think there's slight bitterness from the oolong, but it's very subtle. The oolong was refreshing and had an aftertaste and wouldn't taste diluted even with ice in it. Impressed.

Naturally, reservations required; you can make one hour or 30 minute session time slots for yourself online. Cute merch, a little 25 and under for me (ears on hats, that sort of thing), but hey- if you like something, I will not judge if you wear it. There are in fact three levels; my favorite was a pretty outside deck. The trees losing the occasional leaf captured all the cats' attention. No picking cats up, but if a cat jumped in your lap, you were allowed to feel the win! Lots and lots of petting went on, minimal swatting and hissing. No shoes allowed. Not sure about the coffee, just had a Poppi.

The person working at Whiskers even sat a cat in my lap, told me his name (Oscar), and said he was available if I wanted to take him home. Let me tell ya - I was very tempted. This guy was a sweetie! The cafe isn't the nicest place I've ever been. It needs some TLC and the coffee & tea is Keurig style. Just an FYI if you're going to Whiskers thinking it is as nice as other cat cafes you've seen, because it isn't. However, the primary purpose for its existence is to find these cats a loving home. If that's something you're interested in, then you should visit.

The only thing I would say was the bagel was like six out of 10 or seven out of 10 rating a little too soft even after a light toasting. But fresh. and they have a delicious pistachio croissant. Nice diverse crowd. Some tourists coming off Intrepid and Circle Line but mostly New Yorkers Check it out

They had quite the options when it came to either having like a lunch, breakfast, pastries along with coffee and lattes. We decided to go with chicken and waffles and classic breakfast of eggs, bacon, and potatoes. Everything was made fresh and didn't take long. Everything was good we enjoyed our breakfast and our shakes. I will definitely visit them again if I'm ever in the neighborhood to try their other menu options. Seems like a good chill out spot as well to eat at work or just read a book while you enjoy your food or drink.

I bought tickets for me and my mom online and getting into the cat café was very easy. Plenty of parking is available and the café portion of the storefront looks right into the cat room.

You must take your shoes off to go into the cat room, but if you dont have socks, there are some available for purchase. Definitely will return soon!

It's a very busy cafe because people love to hang inside... it's super cozy to lounge around in. But despite it being busy, the guys working behind the counter work quickly to get you your order. There are some coffee choices that don't have a dairy alternative option so take notice of that and ask questions when you order. They have oat milk and I always get that with my lattes. If I just want straight up espresso than obviously... no need to worry about milk! Lol. I always eye their pastries and bread but I have yet to get others... I've only ever gotten their sabayah here and I love it. Make sure you ask for it warmed up. Their lattes are pretty classic to how Yemeni cafes do it. If you're not used to Yemeni cafes, the coffee is strong and bold; has a great nutty taste to it along with it. All in all, a great place to lounge at but also doubles as a fabulous grab and go spot for coffee and some treats.
