This is the first cat cafe I've ever been to and I had a blast. Plenty of kitties. They do sell treats separately and majority of the cats are up for adoption i believe. They did sell food and beverages, I got and egg waffle and a savory pancake, not bad but not great. Their staff is pretty on point with timing. You can book your time slot in advance and there's a new group coming in every 45 minutes. Place was clean and cozy. read more

The cafe itself is adorable and the cats are well-behaved. It's clear the staff truly love and care for them, and that part of the experience was a real delight. Unfortunately, the smell in the cat area was overwhelming and hard to get past. For a space with so many cats, the ventilation is incredibly poor, and there didn't appear to be any air purifiers in sight. It made it really difficult to relax and enjoy the experience, which was such a shame given how charming everything else was. I'd love to come back if they address the air quality. It's the one thing holding this place back from being truly great. read more

My daughter and I enjoyed the cat cafe. There were about 13 cats (5 were kittens and all adopted). I recommend making reservations online ahead of time. It got pretty crowded when we went, but going into the cat lounge was organized, since you get a time slot to go in. You can wait in the cafe area and grab a snack. The drinks were a bit diluted. Overall, the facility is clean and the staff were all very nice. It's a fun place to go on a rainy afternoon! read more

My boyfriend loves cats and we have a dog so I thought it would be fun to surprise him with an outing to the cat cafe. Clever name. We had a great time playing with the cats. There were at least 25 kittens and cats and the workers know all of their names. The cats we spent the most time with were extremely playful and friendly. The environment was very clean for 25 plus cats. The room had a rock climbing wall and a wooden jungle gym for the cats to climb. Some cats enjoyed running on their own hamster-like wheels. My favorite cats were Avery and Mushroom and my boyfriend's favorites were Stinky, Snowball and Sunflower. Avery was definitely one of the favorites as at the end of the hour we put paw print stickers by our favorite cat. Many of these cats and kittens are up for adoption. I had a sparkling orange beverage which was okay but I definitely didn't go for the food. Lots of couples were there playing with and cuddling with the cats. It was a fun time and relatively cheap. For one hour for the both of us was around $43.00. You need to reserve your spot beforehand, but you can pay there. read more

A lovely place for cats and humans to socialize. Clean well kept and not smelly at all considering there are about 16 cats. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. The cats and the kittens are adorable. I would certainly recommend this place if you are interested in adopting an animal that has unfortunately been dumped by its owner for whatever stupid reason. The cats in the kittens are friendly and adorable. read more

First time going with my kids. They had a good amount of cats and kittens there. They allow you to purchase treats to give to the cats which is a fun experience. The store itself was clean and organized. I gave it three stars because I wasn't too happy about the safety of the cats. Their rules are clearly stated on the wall to not pick up or chase the cats. Unfortunately I saw toddlers, their parents and an older child handling the kittens and bringing them over from one place to another against their will. I even saw one kitten trying to run away and hide under something because it kept being carried/chased. There was no staff inside at that time so no one said anything to them. This cafe is suppose to be enjoyable for people but at the same time it shouldn't be a place where animals are stressed. Please be more strict with your rules. Thank you. read more

Super cute play café in the Bayside neighborhood. The place space is spacious and clean with a variety of toys. There's a slide, climbing slope, jumping ring, etc. My two toddlers enjoyed the kitchen sets and the slide that goes straight into the ball pit. I had a caramel macchiato and it was well made. The space is lovely and a good high out for exhausted parents who need to get the kids out of the house lol. The staff (one of the owners) is super nice too! definitely worth visiting and a good price compared to other place spaces near Flushing. read more

I came here a few times on different occasions and have been surprisingly impressed during each visit. The first time my partner and I stopped by because we wanted a snack and drinks. Parking was amazingly easy to find. We got their egg waffles to share, and I got their matcha yuzu drink, while my partner got their caramel macchiato. As a non-coffee drinker I'm always happy when cafes carry a good amount of tea options and they even carry Harney & Sons teas!! My partner really liked their caramel macchiato since they use For Five coffee beans. Apparently it's a local coffee roaster and is bomb.com. The egg waffle was pretty good. Got a nice crisp on the outside and I like that they're not too sweet. As someone that grew up eating egg waffles from OG famous food carts in Manhattan's Chinatown their egg waffles passed my taste test. Another time I came here with my 4 year old niece for a Halloween magic wand and potion making event with Ms. Rita. It was super cute and both my niece and I loved the activities. With the event you also get access to the play area. The play area was clean and I like that you're required to take off your shoes and to wear socks. I went up and down the slide a few times with my niece and gotta say even as an adult I had a blast sliding into the ball pit. My niece got hungry so I ordered her egg waffles and a smoothie. She liked them both and even finished the whole egg waffle herself! I know I will definitely come back here especially with my little nieces and nephews. It's a great space to hangout with them and grab a nice drink and snack at the same time. read more

Espurresso Cat Cafe - Coffee, egg waffle, matcha - Cafes Near Me - Bayside, New York

I took my almost 2 yo daughter here today on a Monday and we had the greatest time ! We parked on the side street and it was very easy to find parking. You check in when you get there and once you enter they have lockers for your things and a shoe rack for your shoes . It's a cozy little place but it was perfect so you don't have to be chasing your little one all over the place. There are places for adults to sit while you watch your child play. We played for an hour and a half and there were a few kids playing too [2-4 yo] but not so many that it would be hard share the space. There was so much to play with. They also have a step stool in the bathroom so she can was her hands comfortably and a changing station. Afterwards, I ordered a delicious iced latte and muffin and got her nuggets with apple sauce. I brought my own food for her as well and she was able to enjoy both. They have high chairs and there's plenty of space for many families to enjoy. We loved it , I wish I knew about it sooner but we will deff be back! read more

Espurresso Cat Cafe - The cafe/bakery - Cafes Near Me - Bayside, New York

Had a birthday party here with the Gold Package. I would give it 3.5 stars if I could. Pros: Cute Cozy Fun for kids Clean Gives you enough time to decorate Accommodating Cons: -No staff to help you during the party: There was one girl behind the counter for coffees the entire time. Tipped her for the coffees and additional 18% gratuity which is in the contract. I wouldn't mind tipping the staff member if she had only helped during the party like handing out pizzas. Luckily I had my sisters there to help me with the party or else I would have been on my own. Other than that the kids and the adults had a blast which I think is important! read more

I wish I lived closer but we live in Astoria and still hop in the car to spend some time here. My son is 19 months old and loves this place.

I visited this cafe a few months back and did not feel comfortable morally supporting this business. I was excited to come for the first time to this cafe and purchased the unlimited time session but when I arrived there were a few things that I didn't like. First I understand that some cats in these cafes are rescues and are being rehabilitated for adoption, however many of the young kittens there were visibly sick and sneezing and were not separated from the other cats. I didn't feel comfortable that these clearly sick cats were able to handle and roam around the other cats, but also spread the sickness among all the other kittens. Throughout the time I was there multiple kittens were sneezing uncontrollably and there was only one volunteer there that was not watching or knowledgeable about the cats or supplies there. One kitten had a hard piece of stool stuck in its butt, and was clearly there for a long time and was fused to its skin. I was able to find napkins and tried to clean him up but it was really stuck and i did not want to hurt the kitten. We asked multiple people including the staff outside and the volunteer for any wet wipes but nobody knew or cared where they were. One employee tried once and when they couldn't get it just said don't worry it'll be fine, put the cat back down with the other guests and cats in the cafe area and left. This made me feel really bad to support a business that treated its cats so poorly. read more

Recently opened in July 2021 (previous owner/business was Play Date Cafe). Highly recommend for all caregivers! If you're looking for a clean, friendly, fun spot for your toddler to play 1.5 hours, book a session here 10am, 12pm or 2pm. They do thorough cleaning in between. My daughter is 2.5 now and this was such a breath of fresh air for her to be able to play in a different environment and socialize with some others. She had an amazing time and we will definitely be returning soon. For me, it was relaxing to sit on the viewing high stools, sip on a cup of coffee carrying my newborn while watching her explore. Very reasonably priced food/drink menu for adults and kids. Street parking was easy. read more

While the play area is small compared to other play places (Funzy, Nana's, jungle adventure, etc.) what it lacks in some of the bigger play structures, it makes up for with books, board games and toys. It has bigger cafe space with a wider food and drink menu than other play places we have been to in the area. Some of the toys could use a dusting and some of the corners and floors could use extra padding but it was safe. There is a big slide and very small ball pit area with dress up outfits with pretend toys next to it, a section for infants with seating, and a big shelf of toys. The bathroom in the cafe section is nicer than the one in the play area but both are clean. If you decide to order food, it is served on cute kid friendly plates. Milk, pouches, juice also available for sale. read more

We started coming here when it was a different name/owner. It is a great spot because you can watch the kids play and they cannot get out of the place or your view. The staff are friendly. The drinks and food are good too. I usually get a smoothie. It is a little pricey for everything but very convenient and makes for an awesome playdate in bad weather. It is kept very clean! read more

Only 1 other child already there BUT there was alot of dirt and hair on the floor already. Toys are dusty and after 30 mins of playing... my hands felt so sticky and nasty. Will not be going back. read more

Just had the pleasure of having our daughter's 1st birthday party at Cupkins Play Cafe and we can not express enough how amazing of an experience we had. The owners went up and beyond to make sure that my vision came through. They were organized in communication and planning. The place was set up so beautifully and our guests really enjoyed the specialty coffee's and drinks. All of the children (from ages 1-9) had a blast! Looking forward to coming here again! Highly recommend this place to all the mommies who want to sit back drink a cup of yummy coffee while the the kids play. See you soon, Cupkins. read more

Espurresso Cat Cafe - a table with a birthday cake - Cafes Near Me - Bayside, New York

The hours are always different and if you don't follow them on instagram you don't know if they're open or hosting open play. They also open late in the morning and close early which is inconvenient for a play place geared to toddlers and preschoolers. I want to like this place so badly but they're never open when I can go. read more

My son has come here two times to play and we recently had his 3rd birthday party. It is a wonderful, safe, and fun place to be! There is ample activities for kids to do including a rock wall, slide, ball Pitt, kitchen area, and blocks. They even have a little area for crawlers to hang out. Parents can either go in the play area or sit by a little bar and watch their kids play. There is a great menu with lots of delicious options to eat and drink. I needed to reschedule my sons party and the owner was very sweet about it. Highly recommend this small business women run place. read more

My grandson's third birthday party was held at Cupkins Play Cafe. The owners were most accommodating and lovely .

There are many coffees, smoothies and kid treats to snack on, as well. They have lots of safe activities and are cleaning and sanitizing. Lots of good energy all around.
