Whenever I come to Plattsburgh my first stop is to the Kat.The atmosphere and coffee is out of this world

Really cool concept of a coffee shop, nice ambiance, love the support of local artists... terrible coffee. I strongly recommend that the baristas be trained on the importance of grind, temperature, and milk-to-shot ratio. Every time I take a chance on getting a latte here (hot or iced) it tastes like dirty water, and I inevitably throw it out after barely making a dent in it. read more

Food was very very tasty. Service was very nice. It looks very cool inside. Great place to come if your in downtown Plattsburgh.

Coffee was good, service was good. Cinnamon roll was oldish (not sure how old but at least a day or two. I would recommend this for a quiet place to work or to chat with friends. read more

Amazing atmosphere, great staff, expansive menu! I got a smoothie and it was absolutely worth it. They also have an outdoor seating area and cool artwork inside read more

Drinks are ok. They do fun things like group chess games and the place has a great ambiance. Both homeless, students, and rich folks hang together. read more

I am a long time customer and I go there quite frequently. I like to patronize them instead of going to the commercial coffee shops. I raved about their banana cream pie latte for the first three times I ordered it .I thought it was the best latte ever until suddenly last week when I ordered it I could tell right away on my first sip that it did not have espresso in it ! It had old Burt coffee in the place of the espresso! I can tell right away because I am an espresso connoisseur and former barista. This was extremely disappointing. For the price of a latte I deserve real espresso. Now After talking to my friend who also frequently goes there she told me that the same exact thing happened to her ! She was served old coffee in place of her espresso in a latte as well. She is also a former barista and knew right away . Very disappointed. The staff is friendly but I can't spend my hard earned money at a place that would do that . I guess it's back to the mermaid cup . read more

Cool little place to grab a breakfast treat and or a latte or cappuccino. Super friendly service. Highly recommend!

My girlfriend and I were served by Dylan and Durgan. This is my first time here and I've heard a lot about it. It definitely lived up to the all of the amazing things People have told me. I was recently in San Diego and this place has the same beautiful artistic feeling as most of the restaurants there did. I highly recommend the French toast latte. read more

Koffee Kat - delicious - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Plattsburgh, New York

Very dirty place, just go to Chapter One, where they give at least a new cup for every drink unlike the "in house"unsanitary mug that is used this establishment. Unsanitary place with no sanitizer for their dirty dishes. Soap and water lol. read more

Super cute spot in Plattsburgh that served very good (strong) coffee and decent baked goods. Great atmosphere and service in a super cosy spot with a lovely back patio. They also sell some homemade artisan and local products that I wish I tried. Most importantly, it's a GREAT joint to stop for real coffee on the way from Montreal to NY that is not a fast food place on the highway. read more

Koffee Kat - a coffee shop counter with a variety of items - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Plattsburgh, New York

See all

Any place that lets me walk in, order non menu stuff and then play their funky striped outta tune piano is gonna get some love. They painted the wall in local arts and crafts, their coffee is tip top, and the choice of places to park your hind quarters is of excellent variety. I recently checked out their outdoor garage/fireplace/ area during the week long mid march heat spell and it made for a very satisfying afternoon. ATM is on site in case you're of the plastic generation.Every shot puller here is friendly and funny and willing to play around with the menu, should you ask. Good deal if you ask me. read more

Koffee Kat - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Plattsburgh, New York

See all

We stopped in while taking a short walk around the town before our hour long trip back home! One thing I want to mention is that the place is cash only! There is a ATM if you need one. I didn't know even after glancing at this place on yelp prior to our trip! Luckily, I had some cash on me from my frequent lottery ticket purchases. The place definitely has character and it really cute, a good hang out spot for locals. I got a mocha, hot because man it was quite freezing out there today! It was pretty good, not overly bitter or sweet. There was all sorts of local products and art to buy on the walls that we looked at while waiting for a short time for the cup to be prepared. Next time we are in town, we will surely stop in for coffee and a milkshake (he doesn't like coffee) and maybe I'll challenge him to a game of chess, he will beat me for sure but it would be fun! read more

in the one time i've been, the latte was overpriced and took way longer than it should've to steam my milk. enjoyed roaming the store with my girlfriend to look at all the art and stuff, but as this is a coffee shop i feel like The latte should've had some taste or urgency to the creation. the art in this place is carrying the 3 stars in my review. Chapter 1 is better. go there. read more

Friendly. Wonderful tea made fresh. Awesome wifi Desperately needed wifi to upload files to cloud

It's hands down one of favorite places in plattsburgh to visit everytime I go something new catches my eye weather's it's the menu or art work or music this local business is a must stop spot can't miss my favorite thing on the menu there is the peanut butter milkshake they make read more

Paying this much for a cup of coffee it's kind of ridiculous. I'll just make it at home

It's fun, eclectic, social, political, musical, community. Oh and they have great coffee and pastry too read more

Koffee Kat - two people sitting at a bar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Plattsburgh, New York

I really enjoy Koffee Kat. I love going to coffee shops and coffee house, not only for the hot delicious beverages, but also for the atmosphere. I start right off by saying yet again that I'm not a coffee drinker and stick to hot chocolates and steamed milk. So look to others for reviews on their coffee. I do absolutely love the hot chocolate and steamed milk! I usually order a French vanilla hot chocolate because it's my favorite. At Koffee Kat there is a few different ways to go about this particular drink. If I decide on actual hot chocolate I have a choice of hot chocolate made with white chocolate or regular chocolate. From there vanilla syrup is added to make it a French vanilla. Lastly (but not always) the server adds whipped cream if desired and a chocolate covered espresso bean (white or regular). The end result is a wonderful drink that's bliss. The other way they go about making my favorite drink is by using steamed milk instead of hot chocolate. So this way it's made with steamed milk, vanilla syrup, and if desired, whipped cream, and a chocolate covered espresso bean. This way is also very tasty. One of these drinks is sweeter than the other, but I unfortunately don't remember which. In addition to the superb drinks, the shop also offers the usual coffee shop eats: cheesecake, scones, muffins, biscotti, croissants, etc. I think they may also offer sandwiches as well. Aside from the food and drink the Koffee Kat has a most comfortable atmosphere. The shop is styled with a contemporary funky look involving lots of yellow and purple and several funky lights. Several small round tables with chairs are scattered throughout the shop and a coffee table and big couch is in the back past the counter. Also, there is a patio at the back of the shop. There is some local art displayed on the walls that is also for sale. Finally, Koffee Kat also offers entertainment. To the right of the counter there is a chalkboard with dates when local bands are going to play in the shop. I've been there during one such event and it was very enjoyable. The music wasn't even what I usually listen to, but added greatly to the overall coffee house experience. In addition to the bands playing there, the shop also offers wireless internet access. Unfortunately it's not free wi-fi. I've used it before and the signal quality is fine and it doesn't cost too much. In the end I highly recommend Koffee Kat to anyone that wants a great beverage, to just relax, or who is seeking some evening entertainment. I would even suggest this place for a date. Enjoy! read more

This is the go-to cute and kitchy coffee place DT. They ONLY ACCEPT CASH, so be prepared to pop to the ATM next door if needed. Here you will find free wifi, a hipster, casual and relaxing atmosphere (where you won't be bothered if you nurse a coffee for 4 hours), and good coffee. Koffee Kat is super fun in that they are all about supporting local artistry. They feature local artists work in the cafe (jewelry, paintings,bags,etc) for sale, and also host local bands on the weekends. The food and coffee are well made and vegan, lactose intolerant and picky customer friendly. The staff is really sweet and easy going. I ask a lot of questions and have peculiar requests when ordering, and they are consistently accommodating. This is a great place to go to meet people, study or relax. The interior features bright and fun cats on the wall; with ample seating in the cafe, and a back patio area. You can feel good about supporting a local business, and enjoying yourself simultaneously. read more

Went to Plattsburgh on a day off from work. It is such a cool place! It reminds me of the cool little coffee houses in downtown San Francisco...the walls are painted in bright colors, it has bright decorations, cool paintings, etc. It's a fun atmosphere. I don't know how good the coffee is, but I had a strawberries and cream frozen thing and it was good. They don't accept credit cards. Sad. read more

Great coffee -- I go for the cafe au lait almost every time. They steam the milk and let you add your own java from the daily selections. The decor is funky and fun. Lots of art work all over the place. This is a great place to hang out and chat with an old friend for hours. Free wi-fi! They could, however, do a little better job of keeping things cleaner. It's a little dingy. read more

The type of coffee shop you feel good about supporting... The kind where the barista is sitting at the bar reading when he's not waiting on anyone, where you can sit and talk with someone and not be constantly straining to hear them, one that isn't a cookie cutter duplicate or a chain, but at the same time, isn't overly pretentious in the quest to be unique. The cold brew was good, and that's the extent of my food/beverage review. One star off for not taking plastic - I understand (for reasons I don't understand) that it's part of being "indie" or what not. But seriously, get Square, get Apple Pay, get something - the ATM on the wall, not a good look. read more

This is a cute coffee house that I did not expect to find in Plattsburgh. Their concoctions are pretty inventive and inexpensive. I had a chai latte and their espresso beans are above average for making a capp at home. They also showcase local artists with jewelry and artwork which I like, and they also have music nights not sure if that's weekly or not. read more

This is a cute little coffee house in a perfect location. I enjoy stopping by here during the afternoon to get a great smoothie or hot cup of tea. There aren't many really good coffee shops in town. And by good, I mean local and tasty. This beats Starbucks anyday! It's nice that they also display and sell local artist work on the walls, as well as business cards and flyers on the corkboard. read more

Love this local coffee shop. Great place to hangout and get your caffeine buzz. The back deck to go outside is lovely on a nice sunny day. Staff is always excellent and friendly. Filled with beautiful art. Great vibes. Oh and the book store is right next door. Win win read more

Great coffee and really cool vibe inside. The clerk was really helpful as I was only getting a cup of coffee, self serve, and he saw me waiting behind others in line. Instead of making me wait while he made their drinks he acknowledged me and cashed me out so I could be on my way. He absolutely didn't have to do that but was grateful that he did. Thank you!! read more

I was pleasantly surprised to find this in Plattsburgh. It's a friendly, colorful coffeehouse with cool seats, sidewalk tables and a fabulous little patio. I had a delicious French soda, while my mother had a cappucino and my brother had some vegan cookies. The selection of scones and drinks looked delightful and service was friendly. They also sell local art and have live music some nights. If I lived in town, I'd definitely be here all the time. read more

Quick Tip: they only take cash. This place fits right in with downtown Plattsburgh. They have a wonderful array of coffee and expresso. Vegan cookies and soy milk are available. They are extremely friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming along with the free wi-fi! read more

Love this long-standing coffee shop downtown ... and right next to the used book store?? Heaven!

They spelled Cat wrong! Agh!! Yikes, what a blunder! I've been emailing and writing the owner for weeks trying to alert him to the mistake with no prevail. I feel so bad, and think the spelling error (Kat-Cat) should be fixed immediately. I'm highly allergic to both cats and most coffee products so I have never entered this establishment. But by the looks of it from across the street, I believe the place could hold anywhere from 30-60 overweight customers at any given time! Love this place! And if anyone knows management, please alert them to the spelling mistake! read more

Good coffee but I feel like I'm going to step on a dirty syringe walking into the place.

I really enjoy the atmosphere and their coffee and drinks are great but the only downside is they do not accept credit/debit cards which often turns me away as a college student who rarely carries cash and I really wish they would change that soon. Other than that a great place. read more

ended up at koffee kat the last day of a business trip to plattsburgh. wish i had found it earlier in the week. great atmosphere great service great leather couch great veranda w a great view (and in the summer, i bet great greenery!) oh, and great wifi (which is why i found myself there in the first place.) "do you have free wifi?" the barista responded, "yes...with a purchase and a smile." i liked that. :) stayed for four hours...never bugged once. ill be back for sure. read more

Coffee is expensive and sour. Service is terrible. Starbucks is for once cheaper, and better. You'll be expected to pay full price, even if you bring your own mug. On the bright side, the shop itself is nice to sit in, and typically has a pleasant vibe. If you're going to play Scrabble with a friend, bring your own coffee. If you're going to grab a cup to go, Delish, and Smooth Moves are both close by, and sell much better coffee for less $$. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect when I stop at this cafe to grab a cup while heading home from Montreal. The coffee was good and strong. If you're in Plattsburgh looking for a good cup of coffee this is your place. The pastries weren't that good however. read more

Great atmosphere, very chill. I visited on a slow afternoon, and the gentleman working was attentive and fast. He was very courteous and talkative. After I came it got busy, and he quickly got orders out to them, making their coffee. People were pleased and so I think the service is great. Coffee was strong (I think mine was coconut cream! Yummy!) Local coffee, I believe, very strong! Great place! read more

Koffee Kat is an excellent little place to have a nice coffee, a smoothie and chill with a good book, play chess or just chat up good friends or make new ones. The staff is very friendly and the paint colors of the shop are very warm and inviting. They have this really cool alcove type spot out back which must be really cool to just sit in and sip your drink in the hot months...we sat out there yesterday...a little chilly but that's okay. We also had this excellent carrot cake...we stayed until the evening and they had live music with open mic poetry. They get a crowd for these nights of 20 something's. When I go back to Platsburgh I am definitely stopping here. read more

Oh, the memories of the "Mind Sweeper"...KK sustained me during my 5 years working in Plattsburgh. Still recall the former location further down Margaret St. Loved the bigger space when I passed through a number of years ago to a conference in Montreal. Great coffee, ambiance, art, and conversation! read more
