What a cute cafe! There's not a lot of parking in the lot but there are other spots. There's a decent amount of seating inside on the cafe side. The cafe is so cute, so pretty, and comfortable. To see the cats, you do need to buy a time slot either through a reservation or if you're lucky, an available walk in time. The boba I got was pretty good and I would come back to hang out with the cats. They also have little cat themed snacks you can purchase! I think it's so fun to see them play and hang out with them. I really enjoyed the option to hang out on the cafe side without booking a cat side ticket. They also have merchandise you can purchase that help go towards taking care of the cats. Their little store is super cute and has a lot of cool cat themed items. And you're supporting the cafe with your purchases! Staff was very nice and patient. They were good about cycling the appointments through and helping everyone. I recommend for a casual hang out, cute cats, yummy drinks, a sweet treat, small groups, and just a fun experience! read more

Make a reservation in advance! I see a lot of reviews that have reservation woes, but that's something to expect from most cat cafes. This place is lovely! They're very nice and very protective of the cats' safety. The experience and the food/drink is very worth the price. I visit Columbus about three times a year, and I visit Kitty Bubble during at least one of those trips. read more

Kitty Bubble Cafe & Bar - Kitty - Cafes Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I've been here before for the cat yoga and had an amazing time. The cats were friendly, the litter smell was not overwhelming and the vibe was super cute! Because of this, I told my husband I would love to come back! Today we had a reservation for cat yoga and my husband mistakenly only booked one ticket. Mistakes happen right? No. We asked if our reservation could be moved to another day or even if we could just have a 'store' credit to get boba or whatever. Also no. I reviewed the cancellation policy and from what I saw, the website says "$5 cancellation fee if less than 24 hours." Apparently that's also not the case, that doesn't apply to special events, which you have to click on the reservation to see this, it's not on the main booking page. All this to say, what was a fun outing for some friends and I had now turned into a sour date day and I think I'll stick to goat yoga. The front desk staff was very nice and I'm sure he didn't make the rules, but it's still very unfortunate. read more

My husband and I were passing through Columbus, OH on a road trip and I found this very cute boba tea cafe online! I saw their website recommended reservations to visit with the cats, but we weren't sure what time we were going to be coming by, so I left it up to chance if there would be availability. We arrived in a Sunday around 1:30pm and they didn't have availability until 4:30pm. Oh well, still got some delicious teas and saw the cats through windows! The service was very friendly. The decor is adorable inside the cafe and where the cats are. You can view the cats from a stand-up bar areas, in bubble windows at the booths, or outside with their floor-to-ceiling windows. I got a 24oz Meow-go Passion Fruit Green Tea with bubbles/boba and my husband got the 12oz Catnip. They both are really good! The Meow-go tea has passion fruit seeds in it, and the Catnip tea has real strawberries in it. What I noticed is that the cafe's playlist has explicit tracks, meaning no blockage of curse words. I noticed one or two children around the cafe and with the cats, so that seemed a bit off putting a family-friendly location would have explicit tracks playing. Perhaps something for the manager to reconsider. Even though I didn't get to visit with the cats, I'm glad I was to support a business that supports cats. :-) read more

The mochi donuts are delicious and the staff are very friendly. Definitely get your tickets before hand if you're wanting to check the kitties out. We didn't had to wait awhile. It was well worth the wait. We took home a bonded pair! read more

This place is so fun, so cute inside and the drinks make it even better! My sister and I first went here about 2 years ago as something to do for a Friday afternoon and we had so much fun playing with the cats and enjoying our delicious bubble teas! Fast forward two years and she know has a 1 year old daughter (unfortunately you do need to be 6+ to be able to play with the cats) but she enjoyed them from all the fun bubble windows and we enjoyed our bubble teas just as much! Looking for a fun activity to do or somewhere to take your kids for some alternative good fun and maybe adopt a cat! Looking no further than this adorable little spot! read more

Super friendly staff + cats makes an amazing bubble tea cafe! The ambiance is uniquely feline as they have a cat adoption facility next door. You do need tickets to check the cats out and no children under six. They also serve some libations if that's your thing. The bubble tea is excellent. I tried their seasonal ube bubble tea and now it's all I think about. If you're a fan of bubble tea and cats, this place is right up your alley (cat). read more

Kitty Bubble Cafe & Bar - Checkout counter - Cafes Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Kitties, bubble tea, and macarons. Great concept cafe where you can go for a sweet treat and pay to play with cats (per half hour or hour) that are up for adoption. The cafe menu is small, serving mochi donuts and macarons and a handful of specialty coffees. Everyone who works here clearly has the best interest of the kitties in mind. The cat side is really clean and colorful. Signs with the cats photo and names hang on the wall and various toys are available to play with. It's a sweet place doing a sweet thing for the cats. read more

I just can't! The cuteness overload is too much! Coffee and kitties together?!?! I found this place by accident and had to stop in to see what it was about. Our barista was so sweet and helpful and just the idea that every cat is adoptable? Incredible. We had the Thai Tea and it was perfectly crafted. The cups even are high quality and that just goes to show the care they have in every facet of this establishment. The bright and inviting atmosphere makes me wish I lived here so I could come back again and again! read more

If you love tea and cats, this is the place for you! It was such a cute little cafe with a kitty theme. Next door, they have cats that you can lounge with and they are all adoptable! You could make a reservation online - walk ins are available depending on availability. They kitty area was pretty busy when we went though. They also have cute merch and kitty inspired drink names! I had their Pink Toe Bean and it was absolutely delicious. It wasn't overly sweet and the bubbles tasted freshly made and had the perfect consistency. read more

The best part of visiting this sweet little cat cafe is seeing how well cared for all of the cats are. Everywhere you looked they had toys, cozy spots to sleep, and plenty of big windows to check out the outside world. They do a great job limiting the number of visitors they let into the cat area at one time, and it is spotlessly clean. Staff was super nice and you could tell they really care about the cats. They work with Colony Cats and they have had over 170 adoptions to date. Cat area reservations can be made online in advance and they offer a limited cafe menu of sweet treats, bubble teas, and canned adult beverages. read more

Worked great to see how our kids interacted with cats. It did NOT have a cat smell at all.

An uber-cute, small space packed with friendly felines ready to be adopted. This cat cafe clearly draws inspo from its South Korean counterparts, as cat cafes are incredibly popular in Seoul and haven't quite had the same grip on the US quite yet. The decor and color scheme is cutesy and fun, and this makes for a great experience for cat lovers! read more

Kitty Bubble Cafe & Bar - Cat - Cafes Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This cat cafe is quite possibly the cutest place I've ever seen, and luckily I have reason to be in this immediate area every Sunday. The tea menu is varied and everything I've had so far has been great. The prices for drinks here are significantly more expensive than other bubble tea places, but I'm going to tell myself it's either for the sake of the cats or the employees earning more? The macrons sold here are supplied by Mjomii and are top tier. However, I would be absolutely thrilled if there were a few more options for pastry case items. If you were hoping this was a cat cafe where the cats are just hanging out in the main area, it's not like that. They're in a separate room, $15 for an hour or $10 for 30 minutes. I haven't gone to see the cats yet, but you can see them from outside or through several windows inside the cafe. They have lots of toys, everything looks impeccably clean and the staff seems on top of making sure the cats are cared for and safe. read more

Actually made it in, with a reservation on a weekday. And: it is awesome. Baby K was the driving force, of course, and she was a bit disappointed because by the time we got there after school the cats were pretty played out. But you could pet them, and some would play a little. Lots of kittens, super cute. Great setup with toys, towers, etc. Great guidance and advice from staff (the owner maybe was the one in the cat room?) Half an hour was plenty for the two adults; Baby K would have stayed longer. We got drinks outside while we were waiting, and they were pretty good. Also macarons, which were also good, though they are the type with frosting instead of ganache. Prices are maybe a little high, but reasonable for this type of thing. We will definitely be back, maybe on a non-school weekday first thing in the morning (I think they open at 10.) read more

The boba tea is very good! You can change the sweetness level, ice level, milk preference. The macarons are great. It's gorgeous inside. And you can make appointments to join groups to meet the most adorable cats! It's very fun and very cute! The ambience is very Japanese cafe and it's such a vibe! read more

Kitty Bubble Cafe & Bar - The order station in the cafe. - Cafes Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

If you love cats, bubble tea and adorable cafes almost too cute to believe, you're in for a treat. The new Kitty Bubble Cafe is literal perfection - or dare I say purrfection - in absolutely every possible way. The decor, theming and details of both the cafe side and the cat room side are lovely, kawaii and kitty-themed. You may seriously want to coordinate your outfit before you visit - it's that kind of place. I'm not saying I did that. Okay fine, I totally did that! The bubble tea itself is delicious, adorably named and served in perfect, cat-eared cups. We highly recommend the Brown Toe Bean (black milk tea with brown sugar boba and a delicious milk cap). And best of all, with a reservation that you made online ahead of time, you can hop over into the cat room side to enjoy your refreshment with feline friends who are living their best lives in the most adorable and cat-friendly setting imaginable. My kiddo and I loved absolutely everything about this place. The cat room rules are cat-centered and not visitor-centered; no picking up the cats, no petting the cats who are relaxing up high on the cloud platforms because they are clearly opting out of visitor interaction, and no running or bothering the cats. We loved the old cat cafe in Clintonville, but this one is simply spectacular. Every detail of the decor and theming is gorgeous. Talk about Instagrammable. We will definitely be back! read more

I've only been here to try a drink but it's such a cute place! The staff is very friendly and patient and the area is divided into two sections. One to spend time with the kitties (adoptable cats from colony cats) and the other if you just want to have snacks and a drinks. The cafe only side has little bubble windows so you can see some of the cat antics next door. I love the decor and just peeking into the cat playroom you can see that the kitties have lots of enrichment toys, towers bed etc. I tried the silver tabby (coconut and taro) and got it hot. It was REALLY sweet. I would've preferred it less sweet and maybe less artificially flavored? (Not sure if that's accurate). They had mochi donuts and macrons for sale as well! read more

Overall the experience was good, but this one seemed to be missing something. Others we have been to had a more cozy feeling and the cats were more friendly. The cafe area was nice and they delivered your drinks to you if you were with the cats. However there wasn't anything my kids really wanted (hot chocolate would be a good addition). The parking lot is small and shared with the other businesses nearby. We did have reserved tickets which I would recommend as a group came in and weren't able to get into the cat area. read more

This place was SO CUTE! And attached was a kitty café where you could pay to play with cats. I went in since I had a craving for bubble tea. The selection wasn't huge, and I should have probably tried the milk tea but I got some sort of peach tea that was alright. The bubble were blue which I wasn't expecting, so that was fun. I loved the cups and the vibe of this place. I mean, what a BRAND! The service was good too. Quick and the guy who took my order was friendly and explained the options which was nice. read more

My sister, nephew and I visited by appointment on a recent Saturday. We each chose a bubble tea ($20 for 3-seemed a bit pricey) and we're ushered into the cat room for our 30 minute session. In my head I imagined more cats. Like cats everywhere. It was lacking a good cat to visitor ratio. We had a good afternoon but I won't be a regular. read more

One of my favorite places in Columbus!! Before Kitty Bubble opened, I saw their design plans on their Instagram. It was pastel pink and blue with adorable dreamy, custom-made, cat-themed furniture. When I came here for the first time, I was shocked that it looks almost exactly like those design plans! Even if you only visit the cafe, the decor alone is surreal and adorable - but you can also see the cats through windows without a reservation. I believe they have 20 cats at any given time, which cycle through as they are adopted (yay!) In the cat room, each cat has their own nameplate, featuring a picture and a witty bio describing their personality. As mentioned in other reviews, the cats always have access to a separate room, where they can do their business and get a rest from human interaction. This option for the cats really shows how much Kitty Bubble cares for their cats comfort and choice, and also prevents a smelly cat room. Despite there being less than 20 cats in the room at any given point, there are always plenty left to entertain by their own choice. I highly recommend making a reservation in advance, especially if you want to come with a group. Spots fill up fast! I also recommend coming earlier in the day if you'd like to play with the cats at their most energetic. But coming later in the day is still a great time, just more relaxed as the cats get tired. As for the menu, they have several very cute cat-themed drinks, as well as alcoholic beverages, macarons, and a sandwich option. You can only eat in the cafe-side, but they can bring your drinks to you in the cat room. I've only tried a beer, a tea drink, and the macarons. The macarons are delicious, and although the tea was a bit sweet for my taste, it was still delicious. Definitely recommend trying these out, especially if you have a sweet tooth. I'd also like to address the rules they have in place because I've seen so many hateful comments: the rules are here for a reason, and they are clearly expressed on the website and upon entering! In addition to being posted on the reservation page online, an employee will give you a run-down of rules and expectations before you are able to enter the cat room. As long as you (and your child) follow these, there will be no issues! I've also been here twice in the presence of rowdy children, and an attendant may indeed remind of rules, but I have never ever seen them be less than kind in addressing these. Being an enforcer of rules always sucks and makes you the bad guy, but I truly believe the employees here do so with tact and always with the best interest of the cats and other guests in mind. TL;DR - This is an adorable, cat-centered cafe with an important cause! And most of the negative reviews are from people who are upset they didn't read their own reservation. Highly recommend!! read more

Tip: Make a reservation online and ahead of time! They were booked up the whole weekend but we were able to get in on a Monday. The process is easy and explains how the tickets and timeslots work. When you arrive, check in at the cafe counter. They will announce the timeslot, go over rules, and then let people inside. I was a little worried about the amount of people in my timeslot, but the room is quite large and everyone had reasonable space to socialize with the cats. You can bring cafe drinks inside. There are pictures up on the wall of each cat that is up for adoption and an employee is happy to explain the adoption process and give more info on a specific cat's personality. Overall we had a good experience here! As far as special events/offerings, they do paint your pet event that includes time with the cats. This is done on the Cafe side, which we got to see setup when we visited. They also have a cat yoga session that is done in the cat lounge. read more

It's a fun concept. We stayed in the cafe side as the up charge to play with the kitties for a half hour or hour really didn't fit in with our plans for the day. The cafe americano was a good deal for a 24 ounce coffee. The bubble tea had a lot of different flavors and a hint of carbonation. The popping bubbles helped the flavor tremendously. The staff were extremely helpful in explaining the menu. The large windows into the cat's domain provided ample entertainment. read more

Cool place. You can buy coffee and beers and other drinks. They have macarons. I think the have a ham sandwich. Not a lot of food items for a cafe but you can take your coffee or drink to the separate area where the kitties are. Pretty cool concept where you can interact with the kitties and maybe adopt one. They work with the wonderful cat rescue organization called Colony Cats and dogs. All kitties are for adoption. You must make an appointment. Appointments can be for 30 minute to an hour. The kitty area is pretty cool. Lots of toys and little hiding places and places to climb. Pretty nice of your a car lover. A little disappointed that they don't have many vegan food options but overall a good experience. read more

Most Important: If you want to play with the cats you need to make a reservation. The cat lounge area is super clean. The cats are pretty relaxed. I think they've had their fill of people petting them. However, they do enjoy it when you use the strings and ribbons to play. All of the cats circle around for that action. The cats have a place in the back where they can hide from the humans. So the ones out front are ready for interaction with people. They have cans of Kitty Paw and other various alcoholic beverages you can drink in the cat lounge. There are also various tea and coffee mixtures that looked pretty delicious. It is a cute place. Super clean. Will definitely visit again. read more

Are you kitten me?! Kitty Bubble Cafe is a cat cafe that just opened in Columbus a few months ago and I'm about to be a regular! I love their layout + aesthetic with plenty of room for the kittys to play including lounge chairs & cat wheels! Plus they have yummy drinks and macaroons treats to try! The entire space was very clean and not litter box smells. If you have a kitty appt and purchased drinks, they will bring your drinks to you. Although the macaroons must be eaten outside in the café. They also have windows so you can watch the kitties if you do not have a kitty appt and are only enjoying drinks and food. Our drinks were provided in a reasonable amount of time. There are different kitty appt options and you can even choose to stay there for the whole day especially if you work from home, you can bring your laptop and be surrounded by kitties for the day! During my Kitty appt one of the sweetest 1 year old came into my lap and would not get up I wanted to take her home so badly...although I wasn't sure how my cat would react I'm hoping to come adopt soon! If you're a cat lover, you MUST check out!! read more

The Kitty Bubble Cafe is so fun! You get to play with cats and have a beverage (bubble tea or beer!) -- at the same time or separately, in the cafe! Every patron gets a half hour in the cat area, but be sure to reserve a spot beforehand; it gets very crowded. The cafe and play area are so cute and etherial.

This place is fantastic. Moved here from the west coast 1.5 years ago and this was THE best iced latte I've had, by far; the lavender oat. Was NoT expecting that from this place.

Update: we went in to meet the cats! It was awesome! They all seem very happy and have lots of space and the ability to leave the room which makes them a lot more relaxed and acting more natural which is good for them and also good for figuring out which cat might fit in in your household too!! I see a couple negative reviews from people saying there are too many rules about meeting the cats -- to be honest these people just seem like the regular nightmares those of us who work in customer service know well so it's pointless to even say anything lol, but I do want to say that I think these rules are in place to keep the cats and kids safe, and shouldn't feel oppressive! Don't let that stop you from coming to meet the cats here! read more

A great atmosphere, very bright colors and comfy seating. Service is relatively quick even with there not crazy huge staff. There bubble tea is pretty good quality so is the coffee. They have a lavender oat latte and it is honestly the best latte I have ever tasted. Probably why most people are interested on going are the cats. The cats are in a separate room from the room where you order your drinks. While they do provide walk ins if not at max capacity, your best bet is to make a reservation. Especially if it is a weekend, your best bet for a walk in opportunity is a weekday when it is less busy. When it comes to how the cats are treated. They are under very nice living conditions. The cats are not forced to interact with the humans, because kitty bubble provides a separate room with cat door. So the cats can disappear into them if they do not want to get involved with humans. You are also able to adopt a cat at kitty bubble. Overall it is a great facilities with great drinks. And great staff who you can tell cares about these cats. Definitely recommend. read more
