They're not the best I've ever had, but having a great option is nice! I've had some dairy free chai and matcha lattes here and both were good! The cat room is accessible for $10 per half hour. This seems to be about the going rate for this type of experience now, though it feels a little pricey to me. (Maybe because I remember visiting a cat cafe years ago for $5 per half hour.) Both times I've visited in the past year, on weekdays, it wasn't crowded human-wise and there were plenty of cats! One visit, I mostly watched them and chatted with the attendant. One cat crept onto my lap and purred while I pet her on the couch. The other, there were playful cats about and my mini BFF and I were able to use some of the cat toys for most of the visit. Both experiences were great! The bathroom has been clean both visits. There are fun extras like cat figurines and cat ear headbands you can purchase. I know they do events here like yoga with cats, but I haven't been to any of those yet. If you sign up for their email list, they send updates with all the events they do and it's fun to see everything they put together! I enjoy cats, but can't have one of my own at the moment, so I'm looking forward to my next visit here for my coffee shop kitty fix.

I was very excited to try this place based off the photos, and it is very cute inside. I decided to…read moreorder the white razz, and unfortunately this was one of the worst coffees I've had. I didn't care for the taste, and I'm not sure if I made a bad selection or if the taste was off. The foam on top was an odd consistency and the bottom of the drink was gritty with coffee grinds. The concept is interesting, as they have a play area for kids with several tables nearby. Then they have a room with sliding doors to the side that is a quiet space. The space was wide open and nicely done, however it is so loud and all you can hear are the kids using the play space. The service wasn't particularly welcoming and I thought the pricing was high for the area. My medium drink was over $8. I can appreciate what they are trying to do, but I don't see myself returning.

This place was amazing. My sister and I went to have breakfast here back in July 2022. We came in…read morearound 11:30AM and they were SUPER busy. It's a pretty small space, a little cramped if there's too many people, but they have plenty of seating. You order your food at the register and they call your name when it's ready. They don't have waitresses which was fine with me. My sister and I took our food outside and ate. It was a beautiful day. We didn't see any planes land or take off but even if there was I would've been distracted by the food I was eating. Not sure who their cook is but it was like eating something homemade. 110% going to go back when the weather starts to warm up again.

My friend also got some of their cookies, which he said tasted great. I made a reservation for the cat room (30 minutes for 2 people was $14). We had a great time with the cats, and you are given the option to adopt them (price range for adoption was roughly free to $90) Place was super nice, and is a great place to stop by if you're in the area or want to play/adopt a cat.

He has been returned at least 3 times I know of, my cousin returned him once bc he came in a bounded pair. She had him for a month and he was bullying the other cat he came with, the other cat became scared, wouldn't eat, and was having bathroom issues. She also had many correspondences with Btown Meow about him over text with I can provide that show her trying her best to figure out how to make him feel at home, and bringing her concerns up over weeks. He was ripping chunks of fur out of the other kitty. He bit her 6 year old and also bit her toe and broke way through her skin, aggressively, not playfully. My cousin decided to return just him and now the other cat is FLOURISHING! He's happy and not scared, he's pottying right, and he's good with the small kids she has. They posted after she had to return him and they literally made a rude post about his return, and everyone was being rude in the comments about it. Fast forward this cat gets re-adopted to someone else, and guess what, after a month he's returned again! I commented nicely saying hopefully this time they will learn to get him in an environment that he can live in because he has aggression issues and they've deleted my comment and blocked me. This just shows they do not care about the welfare of animals but instead having good adoption numbers only. What a concerning situation. If a cat is aggressive they need to be in a home that can fully handle them, and the adopters or potential adopters need to be able to understand the needs of the cat. It is concerning they do not seem care about the needs of the cats they adopt out. I urge you to be cautious of this place. I've attached screenshot of my comment on their post today (plus their post) that has now either been removed or I just can't see because they chose to block me instead of having any accountability.

Service was amazing, even welcoming a flyer for a team I'm hosting to raise awareness for T1D. The staff was incredibly kind, and I will 100% be coming back in the future!

We got the breakfast burrito also and it was very good but feel like the secret sauce took away the flavor profile and didn't pair with the salsa well. Next time may get the breakfast burrito with no secret sauce and see if like better!

There's plenty of parking in the parking lot behind it. Every iced drink I have gotten here has been great. The hot lattes I'll admit were not my favorite. They had oil that rose up to the top of the drink and made the entire thing taste odd. It tasted old if that makes sense. I thought it was a one off thing so I tried it again and got the same result so I just don't get hot beverages here anymore. The baristas have always been very kind and attentive. When it's slow you can tell they are a bit bored so they keep themselves occupied but as soon as a customer comes in they're standing and willing to take the order. They are great. I highly recommend stopping in if you are ever in the area. I believe they're a chain as well so I'm sure you can find them all over Indy and beyond.

My husband went running so I'm chilling here waiting for him. By the way the bathrooms are clean as well. After trying my vanilla latte two times, I end up asking the young ladies to make me another latte because I wanted to try something sweeter and they did it for free and actually was amazing what they gave me. Thanks so much I was not expecting that awesome treatment. Place gets crowded fast and the girls move fast as well. Not disappointed at all... I give it 10 out of 10

I went in here to kill a few hours between things, and it was a pleasant time and a good place to…read morepeople watch. As far as drinks, I want to start by saying that their lattes are definitely the way to go. They are a bit sweet, so I would advise getting it with less pumps. However, I thoroughly enjoyed it :). After I had been there about an hour, I ordered some drinks to go for me and for some other people. The decaf cold brew was fine, but it could have been stronger. The matcha... bless their little matcha hearts. It was presweetened which leads me to believe it's a mix. It wasn't grainy, but it didn't taste like anything? The strawberry matcha tasted mostly like strawberry milk and the matcha flavor it did have was not good. There were so many matcha recipes on the menu that I thought it would be better. The hot plain matcha was also not great. There needs to be more of a tea flavor and it almost tasted artificial. Overall, I would definitely come back! I would maybe just skip over the matcha, haha.

And as of this week, they're offering reusable clay to-go cups starting at just $3 in several sizes. I'll be honest, I fully expected these to cost more! They're not only adorable and reusable, but also a more sustainable option -- and with 50% off your drink after purchasing one this week, it's basically a win-win! After this week, you can continue bringing your cup back for additional points/bonuses through the coffee shop, making this little $3 cup even more of a steal.
