If you are a cat lover (or just have a soul), Kitty Cat Cafe in Peabody is a total must-visit. It's…read morea registered 501(c)3 nonprofit that shelters about 10 cats at a time, and you can instantly feel the passion Cora, Uri, and the volunteers have for rescue work. They've created a space that is the true definition of "mi casa es tu casa"--the cats basically own the place, roaming around freely while they rehabilitate and wait for their forever homes. It's so heartwarming to see them in such a chill, loving environment. What I appreciated most, though, was the educational side of the experience. They really take the time to highlight FIV kittens--which is basically the cat equivalent to HIV--and explain how they can live totally normal, happy lives with just a few standard precautions. Cora even touched on the biases that exist, even among vets, so I loved that I left not only feeling fuzzy from cat cuddles but also a lot more informed. Whether you're looking to adopt a new best friend or just want to spend some quality time with some kitties, I highly, highly recommend checking this place out and supporting their mission! As for food, you can bring in anything you'd like and if you're there for their tail thumping thursdays, you can also order delivery to it. They cannot serve food due to local laws and guidelines. They do have packaged snacks and drinks you can purchase to enjoy. In addition, they have merch you can also purchase. All purchases, including tickets, help fund the nonprofit.

The cats were adorable. The room is much smaller than it seems in pictures. 10 people max are allowed in the room which I personally thought was too much. I think something more like 5 or 6 is more reasonable, but even then with a new group coming in every hour this may be a lot for the animals. I like this model for cats to live in temporarily and then get adopted into a regular home. I honestly feel bad for the resident cats and wonder if all these new people all the time overwhelms them. I wish there was another room only they could go to when they want to. I wouldn't mind this type of set up at all. Overall, I still enjoyed the experience I just hope the set up is in the best interest of the animals especially the residents that live there. Honestly, if I were to find another similar cafe with a lot more room for the cats (and people) and a setup where they could leave the room to relax I'd probably go there instead. I just wish the best for all the adorable cats here!

The new Ansel Gurney café offers yummy eats and beautiful views if you get the opportunity to sit out on the deck. I recommend getting one of the panini's!!! Also, they have a shop inside called Strawberry Moon which has all of the things you didnt know you needed but you most definitely need!

I can see where it probably gets crazy in the Summer though. I ordered the greenery breakfast, a single pancake, 2 diet cokes, and a small milk. Everything was yummy. My bacon was a little overdone for how I like it, but no foul to them as I didn't specify. People kept coming in just for the muffins so, I was persuaded to get one to-go! Everything came to $38.87 which for me is a little pricey however, I would honestly come back and eat here again. I did try the muffin when I got home and it was yummy. I'd say of the ones I've had that weren't home made - it was solid. I like mine a bit more sweet however, their muffins are not dry and I can't tell you how rare that is. I would get it again and probably another flavor as well just to see.

They have the nostalgic 90s music theme of records we all love and you are immediately greeted by friendly staff. I also loved the familiar favorites on their menus with a unique twist. Not to mention at great prices! I stopped for a hot chocolate at first because it was pretty chilly in the morning. It was absolutely incredible. On the way back from errands I tried the Woo-Rito which I heard is a crowd favorite. It did not disappoint. I made a few exceptions..I did order it without the hot sauce but I added the spicy mayo and it gave it the perfect zing it needed. Absolutely love this place & love the staff. I'm a student from out of state attending a university & they make Woo feel just like home. Wish I would have come to this cafe sooner because it's absolutely incredible. 10/10 recommend.

Overall, it's a convenient lunch spot if you're nearby, affordable, easy but not necessarily a must-visit.

The interior was on the smaller side, brightly lit, with minimal decor. The staff members were friendly it seemed like they got a surprising amount of regulars, considering the shop is adjacent to North Station.

The Croissant was expectedly solid but the Cherry Glaze Cold Brew was delicious! Most of the syrup was sitting at the bottom, which worked well because I was able to choose the sweetness level of my drink. The cherry flavor was so strong and tasty. Would happily return to try their other beverages!
