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.

We finally got the chance to check out Kuya Jay's Ube Cafe in Somerville, Massachusetts, and it…read moreabsolutely did not disappoint! I can honestly say it's one of the best little cafes we've ever visited. I had never tried ube before, and for anyone unfamiliar like I was, it's a purple yam. I ordered the Banana brulee Cold Foam, and it was incredibly refreshing and packed with the perfect blend of flavors, topped with fresh bananas. It was absolutely delicious! The bread completely surprised me. It was evenly baked, incredibly moist, and somehow crafted to pure perfection. The ice cream was a treat as well, but honestly, everything we tried was phenomenal. We can't wait until our next trip to Massachusetts just so we can enjoy a few more bites. I also loved the purple theme throughout the cafe, although maybe I'm a little biased since purple happens to be my birthstone! One of my favorite touches was the owners' book, where you can see pictures and learn more about their story. It really adds a personal touch to the experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and we would definitely recommend this place for a quick snack, dessert, or beverage. There is some temporary street parking available as well. If you're in the area, Kuya Jay's Ube Cafe is absolutely worth a visit!

The wait wasn't too bad and the menu had a good selection of ube flavored drinks and treats. The spot is located in this public space with nice lighting and some seating. The area also does cooking classes and has some areas to study. I actually got two drinks to try both and they were tasty - not amazing, but not bad given the price. Overall, I didn't mind the experience, but I have seen some troubling things online regarding permits that deter me from coming back unfortunately. Drinks tasted fine though!

I had to not only count cats (jokingly of course) to ensure they weren't trying to take one but I also had to count kids since at least two wanted to start working here. There were 22 cats on the day we visited. There were no snacks available - which are advertised to be included with the picnic - but we were okay with the sandwiches we brought from home. The space is clean and cozy. It seemed like there were cats in every crack and crevice. The cats seem relaxed and happy. It's been less than a week and already three of them are asking when they can go again.

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!

You must take your shoes off to go into the cat room, but if you dont have socks, there are some available for purchase. Definitely will return soon!

Also, the interior design feels strangely sophisticated, but still a nice atmosphere making the spot a fun place to eat and work nonetheless. As for the service, despite it being peak lunch time, it was fast, extremely helpful and friendly, and very caring. As soon as my order was taken, I know my food would be made with great precision. And I can say with absolutely certainty that it was!! I ordered their versatile BYO bowl with kale, quinoa, chicken, sweet potato, chickpeas, avocado, goat cheese, and tahini garlic dressing. Take notes if you need ideas for what to order because it was absolutely incredible!! I worry sometimes that the flavors won't work together well when creating my own dish as a result of ingredients conceptualized individually of one another, but dragonfly's ingredients are made so freshly and are so packed with flavor that this was not a problem at all! Also, their extensive menu from the BYO option to their premade bowls, salads, toasts, smoothies, breakfasts, and drinks ensures that there will be something for everyone no matter your dietary preferences or cravings!! I highly recommend giving this spot a try (just be prepared for a pricey bill). Other than that and the odd vibes, I would say this place is great for meeting with friends, having professional gatherings, or relaxing and getting work done on your own!
