What a fun place! I took my 10 year old daughter and her friend here for dinner and some cat fun. They had a blast! If your kids are under 15 (I think it's 15) they require an adult with them. This place has adopted out of 1600 cats since they opened! Each cat is adoptable. They are playful and friendly and super loved.

I absolutely love the coffee here! My favorite is the Salted Carmel Latte, but I have never had a drink I didn't like. I have never visited with the cats, but they are so cute and always seem to have a fair number of people come there to visit with them. They use Manzanita beans and house made syrups that are fantastic, house made syrups are one of my favorite qualities of an excellent coffee shop.

It was my daughter's birthday so she wanted to come here and have a cat experience. I made reservations for a time slot. We purchased a few items from their cafe while we waited for our turn in the cat room. Before entering the cat room we were given quick simple rules about the cats. My family enjoyed their time. The time slot is an hour but the time goes quickly. Love the idea that you get to meet and interact with a cat and possibly adopt there. The cats appeared well taken cared of and some playful while others rested and napped. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the cats in their care. Would definitely come back. My daughter loved it.

Fun place to see & play with cats, have a coffee & lunch. Unfortunately if your kiddo is under 7, you can only visit Thursdays at 4pm & Sundays at 9am. Or book the entire room for a birthday party. Our 3yr old grandson was disappointed cause we came Tuesday. The website only mentions this age restriction so when you make a reservation.

This is a cat cafe where you can dine in but also play with some adoptable cats. They also have some cat themed merchandise you can purchase, such as socks, keychains, pins, and tshirts. The cafe is located in a plaza, so parking was easy. At the time we visited (5.4.2025), all the cats have been adopted (not a bad problem!). The staff were apologetic about it, and they said they were working on housing more cats soon. The room where the cats would be in is separated from the cafe portion by windows, so you could see them even if you were there to eat. They offer toast, paninis and acai bowls, as well as the usual cafe drinks (coffee and tea based drinks). Some of the food and drink items have cat puns in their name. I got the toast flight (comes with three toasts which you can select yourself from all the options) and a latte. The latte was pretty standard for a cafe. The toast flight was much bigger than I anticipated as I only expected it to be half a slice of bread per option, but instead for the full slice, so it's definitely worth it! I got the avocado, the caprese and the elvis (peanut butter, caramel sauce, bananas and coconut flakes). The avocado toast was a little one note for me, but the caprese was really tasty! I'd definitely come back here for a quick meal if I'm in the area!

Cat lounge

Cute coffee shop with the best view (kitties!!) through the window if you didn't book a cat lounge session online. I'm not sure if they take walk-ins, we've always booked online. Friendly staff, decent coffee, their food options look yummy but haven't tried. I love bringing my laptop to get some work done here sometimes. Prices have gone up a decent amount for the cat lounge tho :(

Love this spot! Very cute concept and the coffee is really good! I got the brown sugar cinnamon latte and it was very sweet (might ask for 75% sweet next time) but very good! The staff is sweet and the atmosphere is so cute, entertaining, and kid friendly!

I always love coming here! Having a cat pass for the month so I can see the cutest kitties unlimited and discounted food & beverages. Their food is quite good. The best deal is the lunch special that comes with a half sandwich, salad, & a choice fruit or chips. My favorite is the club. I also love their açaí bowl! Everything always tastes fresh & delicious and the service is always friendly & welcoming. They have a lot of cat decor and accessories you can buy as well.

Meow!! This was such a fun stop and cool concept! My latte tasted delicious! The barista was friendly. My girls absolutely loved looking through the window and watching the kitties play. The ambience was quiet and relaxed. A few folks were doing work on their computers, reading books, and enjoying their drinks. I'd definitely visit again!

Brown sugar cinnamon latte

I had to drop my car off down the street from this place, so I walked over with no expectations. I am allergic to cats, but they have a separate area for the cats/cat adoptions through a non profit. The cafe is cat themed and there's a large glass barrier where you can see the cats on the other side. I ordered a brown sugar cinnamon latte and it was delicious! There's comfy couches, tables and a counter area to sit. I also ordered the chipotle chicken panini, which was full of avocado and not that spicy at all. I am so glad I didn't go to the Starbucks which was right near it.

Very spacious and cozy for studying! I'm personally allergic to cats :( but I didn't get sneezy or anything! The cats are all viewable from the glass and it's so fun to see everyone enjoy playing with them! It's not too noisy in here and the staff are attentive! I had their chai it was pretty good! There are multiple restrooms available and wifi. I've been here a few times to lock-in and study and it does not disappoint.

I Love coming here whenever I need a moment to just hangout with tons of adorable fuzzballs Good latte's and the sweetest company to relax or play with I highly recommend even if you don't go in the lounge with the animals you can hangout to study in the cafe side and occasionally look up and see cats running around doing their thing

Can we just go in to admire cats but not interact with them since I have a 5 yr old?do I still have to pay for reservations?

Hello, the kitties are in a separate room and there are huge glass windows. You can totally go, enjoy a coffee/tea and a bite to eat and watch them play from dining area. Best seats for viewing are the bar top seat right next to the window :)

To the owners, I can only bring my 3 year old during the kiddie hour? Or can I bring her and of course stay with her and pay two separate entrance fee for both my child and myself at any time or day I reserve?

Hi, children under the age of 7 are only permitted in the Cat Lounge during Kiddie Cat Hour or during special all-ages events. This policy is due to the liability requirements of our cat rescue partner. Now that we’ve been open for several months,… 

Do you have to make a reservation to play with the cats or you could just enter and pay the fee?

Hi! Reservations aren’t required, but recommended during busy times like Sat & Sun.

I've ordered from D'Liteful Chocolat three times now, and they've come through every single time…read more For Valentine's Day I picked up a box of chocolates for my girlfriend and she absolutely loved them the quality is on another level compared to anything you'll find in a regular store. You can tell everything is handcrafted with real care. If you're looking for top-quality chocolate from a local San Marcos small business that actually takes pride in what they make, this is the place. The truffles are fantastic and there's a great variety to choose from. Dayleen clearly knows her craft, and it shows in every bite. Highly recommend I'll definitely keep coming back.

Nice store located near Lake San Marcos. Parking is adequate. The store is clean, nice, decorated…read moreas expected. The staff is friendly. I got to try a Macaron making class and it was a fun experience. It was supposed to take 2.5 - 3 hours. The other party was late so we started about 10 minutes late and we went way over 3 hours. The class is very hands on. You get detailed instructions, and a template for the Macaron shapes. The instructor is the owner, and she is Cordon Bleu trained and loves making Macarons and Chocolate. She will tell you all about her schooling, background, experiences, and the history of the Macaron. The instructor will walk you through the process step by step, explaining why you have to be precise and follow each step completely and in order if you want to get good results. She also explains how you may need to add a little extra of an ingredient based on the humidity, the science behind it, etc. You make the Macaron shells and you also make Italian butter cream filling to put in the Macaron. You will get 14-16 delicious Macarons depending on how you follow the template design setup. Enjoy my photos.
