I visited this place while I was in Michigan with a few friends, and it ended up being such a fun and relaxing stop! We came to celebrate my friend's birthday before continuing our day exploring Grand Rapids, and it was the perfect way to unwind. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, and you could tell they genuinely cared about the kittens. The kittens were so curious, playful, and adorable. Whenever one of them had a little accident, the employee cleaned it up right away and made sure the kittens were well taken care of. The only thing I'd love to see is a few more non-coffee drink options since I'm not much of a coffee drinker. That said, my friends ordered coffee and really enjoyed it. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend stopping by if you're looking for a cozy place to relax and spend some time with some very sweet cats!! :) read more

A must-visit if you're a cat lover or someone looking for a serotonin boost! Everyone at Happy Cat Cafe was so friendly and I was impressed by the cleanliness of the cats' room. The visit included a free water or can of pop but they also have a variety coffee/lattes and I saw a pastry case as well. In addition to spending time with the cats, the Cafe has merch like toys, stickers, enamel pins, cards, and other goodies for cats and humans. I definitely recommend coming here! read more

My family and I were able to add a family member a couple years ago from Happy Cat Cafe. Walter :) my cat nephew. The drinks are really good and the little fur babies are always so adorable and lovable. The only reason why I gave them a 4/5 stars was because when I go in and see the fur babies they're a little nervous. There is a sign that guests are not allowed to pick them up outside of the room but I still see people picking up the fur babies so that's my only concern. That there isn't someone there monitoring if guest follow the rules so that the fur babies are comfortable. But I know it's hard because there might not be someone available to volunteer. read more

They have option of 15 minutes visit for $5!! I think this is awesome! Specially if you just want to pass by or enjoy a quick cup of coffee with cute cats vibes! The place is so clean and neat. The staff are friendly. Cats likes to play (except when they are napping). Make sure to call first because they usually have private parties. read more

Definitely worth a visit. It's easy to find, easy parking, good drink selection, clean and, of course, they have adorable cats!

I went here because I was missing my cats while I was out of town, the staff here are so welcoming and sweet and the drinks are amazing! The cats here are very social and adorable and I love the cause that this cafe is going for. If I'm ever in the area again I will definitely stop by and give the cats some love again! read more

Happy Cat Cafe - Shadow, Treat, and Trick snuggling! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

The coffee was delicious, all of the cats were so sweet! There was a little girl that got there after our time started and she was chasing the cats around so they were a little scared after that. Overall it was a good time! If you have younger kids I would definitely recommend talking to them about how to play with cats before bringing them in- read more

So cute. I volunteered here during college and loved the experience + the drinks are awesome. If you're looking for a friendly place to go either alone or with friends (and see kitties) definitely support this cafe! read more

I've only been here twice but this has quickly become one of my favorite places in GR. Great coffee menu and fun merchandise for you or your cat. The reservation process is easy and user friendly. The cat lounge is spacious,clean and well lit with natural light. All of the cats are available for adoption. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. read more

As a general rule, I love cats. More than anything else. I also love coffee. Not more than anything else, like I do cats, but enough. Just those reasons would be enough to give this cafe a good rating in my book, but there is even more to love. I would come here daily, if not for the almost three hour drive. The service is good, and the cats are great. It may take a little while, but one of the cats will become your buddy. For example, I bonded with a little black kitten named truffle. I could not take him home, as my cat is quite a loner, and there is the drive, but I loved him. The cat room is quiet. That was surprising as it is often busy. I would strongly recommend getting a reservation. Walk ins are allowed, and I have done it before, but it is truly a good idea, if you wish to get in. The coffee is good, and the cats are amazing. Even if there is a few hours of travel, Happy Cat Cafe is truly worth it. read more

Pspspsps!!!!!! Guys!!!! Guys!!! So I would highly recommend going! Highly!!! A few things to add, book ahead of time or plan to wait! My wonderful fiancé made the funny mistake of, let's surprise her! So we did post pone it for the next day- THEY DID, however have spots for the later in the day! I would've gone twice if He didn't plan the zoo!!! I cannot say anything about the drinks, but pspsps the merchandise pspsps is worth checking out!!!!! read more

Disappointed in the service. Came her on a whim with my 2 year old and 9 month year old. I walked in without a reservation, and they wouldn't let my 2 year old in to see the cats. On the site, it says walk ins are aloud, and they allow ten people in the cat room at a time. There were about 4 people in the cat room. That's not ten people. We should have been allowed in. I drove 30 min to get here, and my daughter was super excited. Now, I am leaving with a sad daughter because they decided not to let her go in. THERE WAS NOT TEN PEOPLE IN THE ROOM! read more

My boyfriend and I booked an hour and only stayed 25-30 minutes. In the first minute we walked in he got scratched and hissed at just trying to pet a cat. Due to the other people in the room we weren't able to pet other cats for a majority of the time. When some other cats came up to us they weren't friendly. One was meowing in a very strange way and others wouldn't let us even pet them. We were able to play with some using the toys but we didn't feel comfortable petting any of them. We decided to leave early. read more

This place was a little different then I was expecting. I've seen other cat cafes where they lounge around the cafe while you have some coffee, but this place is different, you go into a small room with like 8-10 other people with like 5 cats that really want nothing to do with you. There was one really sweet older cat that was interacting with us, but there are signs all over advising if the cats are sleeping to not touch them. Well they were all pretty much sleeping. Then you add on the fact that people bring their small children in there and let them terrorize the place.... Overall it was a good thing to say we tried and the coffee was good but I think we would try a different cat cafe next time. read more

It is obvious that they deeply care about rescue cats. The basic coffee expense was normal to coffee shops, the experience was priceless. Absolutely recommended if you like cats! read more

Love the cats they are freaking adorable and sweet when you get the chance go see them !

I was so impressed with this place! Who does love snuggling kittens, right, buuuut this was not my first choice of activity. I went because a friend wanted to, and it ended up being my favorite part of our mini vacation. First of all, it was much more clean than I anticipated. They section the cafe off from the kitten area, and both are immaculate. Secondly, KITTENS! There were so many and, at least the time we went, they were super social and playful. The price for a beverage (of which there were quite a selection - I got the vanilla chai) and half and hour with the cats is really, really fair. Just tag an extra dollar or two to your normal Starbucks bill. I love that they work with the Humane Society. Cannot recommend this place enough! One suggestion might be that I wish one or two less people had been in the room for our section of time. read more

Came in yesterday and had the chance to play with some very sweet cats! My boyfriend and I enjoyed the first half of our hour without anyone else there but after that, it got a bit busy and the cats seemed a little overwhelmed. Unfortunately, some of the cats didn't get along and started fighting which wasn't the best but they eventually calmed down. There were two cats in particular (pictures) that loved being pet and that were very sweet! Overall it was a very enjoyable experience and I will certainly be back! read more

Fell in love with a cat here. Was the first to apply for him as he had been there for only a day, never got contacted and about a week later he was adopted out to somebody else. Only ever had cats pass away from old age, only have one cat and not even a call or email. Just handed out to someone else, I've been absolutely devastated that I wasn't even given a chance. NONE. No call, no home inspection, NOTHING. read more

Amazing! Coffee and cats, what more could you need?! Loved the drink selection. There's a ton of trinkets, apparel and cat items for sale. I recommend having a reservation for the cat room, luckily I got one day of. But they seem to book up really fast. It's the perfect vibe for a cat lover to study, read or relax! read more

I wanted to love this place. It isn't what we expected for the price. If you are a cat lover who wants to hand over a bunch of cash for a good cause, then go for it. I took a few girls from my youth group and was out $50 ($10 an hour each) There wasn't a "cafe," just a help yourself Keurig and some generic soda. If the price was closer to $5 a person or had a full service coffee bar, it wouldn't have been so disappointing. We drove all the way from Zeeland. Would have been better for us to hit up Starbucks at the Holland Meijer and head to the cat room at the Critter Barn (which is just a donation). read more

Happy Cat Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Really cool, chill environment. Plenty of cats to pet and sit with. Friendly workers who you can tell enjoy what they're doing. Always a pleasant experience. They have plenty of cats who need homes read more

I'm so happy we decided to visit! If you're a cat lover, don't even think about passing this place up. There were about 12 cats in the lounge when we visited and I feel like there was a cat for everyone's liking. There were snuggly cats, sleepy cats, playful cats, diva cats... The decor is ADORABLE!!! You get a free hot or cold beverage with your reservation and a free snack if you check in on social media. The woman behind the counter (I assume maybe the owner?) was very welcoming & friendly. They also have a gift shop and sell cat related items, along with shirts. I would definitely visit again if I found myself in the area. read more

It was nice. We had fun playing with the cats, and it was exceptionally clean. The "cafe" aspect of it is not impressive, and I feel like they could increase the perception of value by adding hot water and some nicer teas and maybe pour over or French press coffee with fresh cream; to me those are relatively cheap additions to their repertoire that would make a difference. Ditching the prepackaged snacks for some Costco muffins and baked goods, too. $7 for half an hour, $10 for an hour is a tad expensive but I like that they are providing a nice home for shelter cats and socializing them further. They have also placed 50 cats since they opened. For me, that's worth $7-10 and I get to have some fun too! They also have tons of cat related accessories, painting and clothing which are cute and not too terribly overpriced. read more

A wonderful experience. They have free coffee (decaf available), juice, and bottled water for customers. If you need a milk alternative I would suggest bringing your own because there wasn't one available. But they just opened yesterday so cut them some slack. There's logo merchandise you can buy. The cafe and cat room are completely separate. Kittens were adorable and so much fun to play with. I plan on coming back. read more

So much fun!!! It was such an awesome idea and I can see it getting more and more popular as the year goes on. I love that you can use a keurig to make your own coffee or have pop or juices. The cats were all incredibly friendly and I had to stop myself from adopting them all. Definitely recommend!! read more

Happy Cat Cafe - This was a brilliant idea that I see getting popular in the future. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Grand Rapids first cat cafe has been a long time coming but has been worth the wait! Working with Carrol's Ferral's, a local non profit cat rescue group, Happy Cat has healthy, friendly, spayed/neutered cats available to play with, with the hope that you fall in love and adopt one. The large cat room usually has between 8-12 cats that freely roam the table, chairs, benches and cat towers. You can come in and play with them, or simply read on your own, while they walk and sit around you. The cafe has an assortment of snacks and nonalcoholic drinks available for purchase for your visit. The cafe offers a lot of different events too, including cat yoga, which the cats walk around you while you do yoga, and, cat painting, where - you guessed it- cats hang out with you while you paint. It's a neat way to spend an afternoon and hopefully find a new friend to bring home! read more

This company is not to be trusted. Not only is it a far cry from the Japanese cat cafe culture they aimed to emulate, but they are outright liars. For starters, they spoke poorly about the company they used to get their cats from, Carol's Ferals, on Facebook no less. This shows utter unprofessionalism from the owner. Then, here is the worst part, they lied about their cat's being vaccinated. My friend's kitten just went to the vet and has had worms from day 1 and a form ready as soon as he said he got the cat from Happy Cat Cafe and said they see a lot of unvaccinated cats from there. This is a poor excuse of a business. Do not support these scam artists even under the guise of helping a kitten. read more

Loved going here to visit the cats and do yoga with them. Not sure how they are holding up with COVID, but definitely a must for any cat lover. Hopefully get to go back soon to visit! read more

This cat is a perrrrrfect place for cat lovers!!!! My boyfriend and I went here for a date because I love cats and it was just amazing! The staff was very helpful and nice, had a whole bunch of information on everything about the cats and where they came from. The cats were very tired today and were very sleepy but that was okay! They had toys for you to play with the kitty's and combs for brushing the kitty's. The price for actually going in were not bad at all. I liked how a free beverage was included with your purchase the coffee was okay, and the pop was off brands kind. The t-shirts are kind of expensive $20 for white T-shirt and $25 for the black, I bought one because I figured all of the proceeds go towards the kitty's. I also bought a coffee mug that was $10, and it was very cute as well as a $5 coin purse and a lady threw in a free sticker! Only thing that I wish was better was maybe just clean up the hair a little bit! Just a really nice place, you can adopt the kitty's and they have adopted over 70 cats! Would definitely recommend! Just maybe bring a lint roller! But they do need to remove the sticker on the bottom of their mugs, the sticker that says "Distributed by Five Below Merchandising Inc." read more
