    Kitty puddle!
    Jonathan B.

    I absolutely love what they're doing here! Giving people a slice of peace in their lives when needed, giving cats interaction time, and getting them adopted. While the prices are a bit steep, and the food and drink quality itself on the cafe side is nothing special, the cause is a good one and won't leave you feeling regretful about your time and money spent here. I have the incredible luck in life of being both "a cat person" and "an allergic to cats person". A cat cafe gives me the out when I'm not visiting friends or family who have cats that I can interact with. And there was even an employee at this cafe who set me up with a Zyrtec out of pure kindness and no obligation at all when I showed up unprepared on a whim. Absolutely worth your time to come by and restore a little simple joy into your life.

    We all miss the Winston location, but we were happy to visit in GSO to see and pet the cats and kittens they have lounging around and awaiting adoption! The catpuccino was pricey but also good. Staff was friendly, and the venue was clean and aesthetically pleasing with all the cat decor! And of course, the cats were a large army, forcing us into surrender to pet and scratch them in only the correct places, as referenced on the chart!

    The website is very clear in their expectations, prices, times and policies. Please read before you book. They have a waiver you complete (not tedious at all). If you have on socks, you can wear your socks. If you have on shoes, they have shoe covers. Be mindful to not let the cats escape. This is the cutest concept. Their cafe is located in the back and separate from the cats. You can tell the cats are well cared for and have a loving environment. I enjoyed my Americano coffee while the kitties frolicked about. The policies in place are to keep you and the cats safe. I really loved the decor and the cats are so well behaved. I will definitely consider adopting from them. The coffee barista was so friendly. You could tell the other ladies were very knowledgeable. We will definitely return.

    The café drinks are all very good, the ambiance and atmosphere is very inviting and relaxing, and the cats are all around a joy. The staff are very inviting and friendly, and happy to assist! Very good spot to visit and work, even just sitting in the café.

    A cat's purse one of my favorite sounds in the entire world it immediately lowers my blood pressure makes me feel content inside. My little guy wanted to visit all the cats at the café so for a small fee you can purchase some time and go in and play with all the cats. This is a nonprofit organization and it helps to find homes for cats that would otherwise be neglected and left to die on the street or euthanized. The cats were all clean, which is nice, and there are a lot of fun spaces to chill and just watch them in their own environment. There is a café in the back where you can snag a coffee or something

    We had a great time at Crooked Tail Cat Cafe. It was a random stop on our drive but a pleasant one. We spent $7 per person for half an hour with the cats. We met sweet adoptable cats and the space was clean and smelled amazing. We ordered coffee from their vegan menu and spent some quality time with the cats. They give you a rundown on the house rules and have you sign a waiver before you enter. The staff was kind an knowledgeable about the cats and the coffee was great too. We would certainly recommend stopping by if you are in town.

    I always love visiting cat cafes in new cities or towns that I visit. This one was very nice and clean inside, the employees/company really take good care of their cats. They have a cafe attached in the back, which is where you go to wait before your designated time slot is ready. I got a crème brûlée latte and it was good! Their cafe also has a mini shop of goodies you can buy like socks or shirts or trinkets. I would recommend this place. It was probably around $11 per adult I believe? Fairly priced!

    the best experience! i came from california and needed some cat TLC. i recommend this place to all kitty lovers! also ordered a caramel hot cocoa:)

    This place is always a pleasure to walk by and even better to pay the small fee to enter for 30 minutes to and hour time spans or more. The fee is to help foster the cats that are there up for adoption. And there is a cafe in the back to purchase drinks and maybe snacks to bring to the front while you can enjoy the cats. There were quite a lot of cats and some kittens there that seems mostly at peace, friendly and playful with people entering the cafe. I've heard some people complain about the place not smelling well but I can tell you that they place smelled very clean and not like a liter box or a bunch of cats. Pre COVID times they would have events to do yoga or other activities with the cats, but has been put on pause for the time being. I am very tempted to add to my family of a cat and two little dogs when I visit here for the cats up for adoption. You can play with them in the mean time and help them with the costs of sheltering them there. It was very worth the small fee.

    Cute Buddy was playful after his nap

    We had so much fun there. Buddy was under the table napping but he was so kind for letting us pet him. A few cats/kittens don't like petting pass their neck though so I recommend just softly rubbing/patting their head. It would be nice if the cats have a spicy or sweet level on their profile on the overhead TV that has their bio, I love that addition of their bio by the way, it's such a great idea. I have suggested to one of the workers there that it would be so great if they sell cute little cards or pictures of the cats name and maybe more of their bio, like their favorite thing to do or Fave food or treat. I would've definitely bought one of Buddy's picture for sure! His white mustache is so distinct, cute, and charming! He's so playful for a full grown cat~! I'm such a fan! It would be great if there was a warm light to the place, a cute snack/treat dispenser would be such a nice touch too, I know I would've spent money on it, but I hope that these ideas helped, it'd help thrive for sure!

    I really enjoyed my visit to Crooked tail café. It is very booked out Saturday so I just went by myself. I spent an hour. The kitties are very well taken care of . The visits were well planned and there was enough room for people/ cats to interact comfortably. They encourage adoption so I am planning to go again to meet a few same old and potential new cute kitties

But today was the day! As soon as you show up, you know this isn't your typical coffee shop. The outside of the place looks like it could be an Inn in the neighborhood (which who knows maybe it was at one point.) The vibe inside gives off quiet workspace/library, and definitely gives off the lobby of an Inn (think Gilmore Girls.) There was some people scattered around but I didn't take a deep look inside since I was just passing by. I ordered my ice vanilla latte. The first thing I remember realizing was that it wasn't very sweet. Which is not a bad thing, sometimes they can be made really sweet other times they can be not so sweet. This latte was in the middle. I could taste the creaminess from the oat milk too. I would definitely check this place out again and try out some of their other drinks that they offer. I would even like to stay in and work inside and see more of the environment inside.

I remember the vibes were pretty welcoming. I have gone once since then but during the day and the vibes were pretty chill and low-key but nothing too crazy. Just a typical experience but also a really good college outing memory. The matcha I had from there wasn't particularly my favorite but they used to keep their espresso machine up at night during the performance, I'm not completely sure if I remember correctly if they sold liquor or alcohol but the drink that I did have from there the first time I went was pretty good. The ambiance is pretty normal for greensboro, I feel like almost every establishment you walk in, there will be cracked floors but I just remember the staff was pretty awesome and as far as pastries, they had a pretty good variety and gluten free options and other food sensitivity options. I believe a few years ago, I recall an episode of "Catfish" where Nev and Max also visited this place so that was pretty interesting to experience that but honestly a pretty decent place.
