As other mentioned this is not your usual kitty cafe. You get your drinks, go in and sit in what is similar to a living room. If the kitty's want to see you, they will come to you. We had an unfortunate situation where our barista forgot our drinks and snacks, but overall it was a good experience.

Today is International Cat Day (August 8). I am marking the occasion by reviewing a wonderful…read moresanctuary for cats that are ready to be adopted. It's called My Kitty Cafe. It is occupied by the sweetest rescue cats in need of loving homes and the cafe is staffed by friendly folks who are animal lovers too. Their furry feline friends are full of personality, some more energetic (Arlo), some more affectionate (Bailey), and some more sleepy (Mama cat Catronia). A visit here costs an admission fee to pay a visit to this feline cafe especially if you are thinking of adopting a rescue cat. Be sure to read the rules ahead of time. Don't disturb sleeping cats. Don't pick up any of the cats. Bring an extra pair of socks to wear while walking inside. The ratio of people to cats was good which made it easier for guests to get an opportunity to interact with cats that were in a playful mood. Visits are limited to 50 minutes. My timed visit was made easier since I was given a buzzer which buzzed to notify guests that their time was up. The resident fur-balls will be happy you paid them a visit. The cafe's partner is Purrfect Companions of Norfolk Cat Rescue who help rescue cats find furrever homes.

Literally the PERFECT place for board games…read more We came here as a group of 7 and there was plenty of table space. The owners/employees were super friendly and the food was delicious. They also had a lot of games, obviously. There is a small minimum spend, which is totally worth it. I was shocked and how much I enjoyed the food! Food - 4.5/5 4/5 - Buffalo Chicken Dip (not pictured) - this was so tasty and such a nice snack. Felt homemade and had a kick to it. I'd get it again, perfect snack for board games. 4.5/5 - Cookies and Cream Pie - Omg. A slice of pie that isn't a cake nor a cheesecake. Whatever the case, I loved every bite. Wasn't overly sweet, a nice size, and really hit home. Loved it and so did everyone in my group. Ambiance - 5/5 - Again, the perfect place and ambiance for board games. Proper lighting and space, and plenty of games. Service - 5/5 - Very friendly and quick! Can't wait to come back one day!

The staff working that day was super nice. She helped me take pic with a cat and also answered questions promptly. She was also very friendly. There are two admission and I chose the one that is $19.99 that includes a drink. There is no option for no ice and it starts at less ice. For sugar, you can customize for no sugar to 100% sugar. There are a number of cats there such as ragdolls, dex Rex, bengal, dsh etc This is not just a cat cafe but also a coffee and dessert shop. There are about 10 tables with chairs and the decor is super cute. PLastic covers need to be wear on your shoes when you go inside the cat room. The good thing about this place that the admission is good for the whole day and you can come back and drop in later until closing time and time certainly flies when in the company of the cats Highly recommend to check them out. The cats are so cute and they seemed to have different cats at times, cats that i haven't seen in my past visits.

My small-to-medium latte ($10.17, as shown in the photo) was nothing special, and the pricing felt more geared toward tourists than actual quality. I had assumed the charge included access to the cat room, but there's an additional fee on top. The service also wasn't particularly warm or welcoming. That said, the cats seem well cared for, and the space is clean and comfortable for them -- and at the end of the day, that's what matters most.

The way it works is you order drinks and pay (in 30 minute blocks of time) for access to the cat lair. We chatted with the owner for a bit, and it turns out many of the kitties are rescues that they're essentially fostering; and they're available for adoption. (They collaborate with local animal shelters on this.) So it's a fun cat cafe, and they're also providing an essential, humane community service. That's something worth supporting. My only tip if you visit would be: bring a change of socks. You're required to take off your shoes before entering the cat lair, and your socks will be covered with cat hair by the end of your visit!

The dogs in the room are from the owner or from the shelter. The guests can adopt the dogs/cats from the store if you want to bring it home. The owner was really thoughtful to help with adoption. The guests also can just get a drink or snack and sit outside of the room and watch the cats and dogs. If guests write some reviews on Google review, they will get some dog snacks to feed the dogs.

If you are looking for one of the most charming and thoughtfully curated experiences, The Vintage…read moreCat Cafe is a must-visit. We arranged to visit the cats as a treat and enjoyed a superb cup of coffee and lunch today. From the moment we stepped inside, we saw that the café has blended vintage style with modern comfort beautifully, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The cozy décor, soft ambiance, and carefully arranged seating make it easy to relax. Moreover, what makes this café especially unique is its thoughtfully designed, separate cat lounge; it offers a calm, enriching environment for its cats. We were able to completely unwind and appreciated their calming presence as we played with rod toys, introduced tube treats, and relaxed when they napped close to us. It was a happy and soothing experience. The Vintage Cat Café is an ideal spot for a leisurely lunch or a cozy coffee break because the menu complements the relaxed atmosphere. We thought that the culinary offerings were impressive, from expertly crafted coffee to a tantalizing selection of homemade pastries and hearty lunchtime treats, and everything is prepared with care and quality in mind. We recommend the spicy chicken wraps, particularly for guests who appreciate food that combines flavour with a hint of heat; these were delicious. Beyond the décor, the cats, and the food, what truly sets this cafe apart is the welcoming, knowledgeable staff who are enthusiastic about exceptional service and animal welfare. We found that their dedication is evident in every interaction with their customers, and this contributes to an experience that feels genuine and heartfelt. The Vintage Cat Cafe is more than just a café; you leave feeling genuinely uplifted, and whether you stop by for the coffee, homemade treats, charming vintage ambiance, or the one-of-a-kind cat lounge, you will have an unforgettable experience. We were planning our next visit before we even walked out the door.

When we got there, we immediate were ushered to the back of the cafe where the cats were. We went at around 4-5pm and the staff told us that usually at this time the cats would be sleeping so we could not really play with them but just watch them sleep haha. Near the end of the hour, some of them did wake up and so we did get to spend some time with them. We wish we knew beforehand so we could get our money's worth. As for the cafe itself, it was beyond gorgeous. Everything was photogenic, even their washroom! I got the caramel macchiato and it was delicious and I like that it was included with the price of playing with the cats. Sad thing I realized was that I think I am mildly allergic to cats :( but highly recommend for cat lovers!!

The idea is that you can book time with the puppies and help socialize them, giving them treats, petting them and taking pictures, etc. First thing that came to mind was downward dog with a puppy, hmmmmm. The dogs are part of a collab with a breeder where the puppies get to have some fun with guests here while the people get to smile and enjoy their company. The cafe is a work in progress where there will be coffees available at the front so you can enjoy their vibe without having to book a session and enjoy a latte while doing so. Big white fluffy dogs are definitely not available at Starbucks so this place should be a hit with dog-crazy Toronto!

There is a lot of tables for 2s, 4s, 8s, and the area right by the front cafe is somewhat closed off as well as a long wing on the side for larger groups. Along the walls are local artworks and trinkets for sale as well as store merchandise and other items. There is pizza, coffee, FUN! drinks, snacks, and baked goods at the front. During our visit, although we only had the drinks, many others had pizza, baked goods, etc. during their time hanging out and playing games. (They also offer a stamp card for drinks.) It looks like there are scheduled events for those that aren't as further afield as our group. For us, it was a nice stop between friends where we could meetup and hangout without travelling too far. Parking was plentiful. The service was great, the owners were both there and we were impressed by the quick service and help with the games. The game selection is moderate, they have all the classics and popular games like catan, wingspan, etc. as well as smaller box games like Sabobatage. Some games had copies as well so you don't have to wait too long for your favorites. Would visit again to enjoy games and snacks with friends again in this wonderful third space.
