The Witty Whisker Cat Cafe is a whimsical place, with lovely cats, delicious treats and delightful activities. We have enjoyed several iterations of Painting with Kitties and live "Mewsic," which are always fun. We just attended "Purrfect Vibes," a Sound Bath presentation in the Cat Lounge, a most relaxing and enjoyable experience. We look forward to many more visits to this enchanting cafe in the heart of St. Augustine. read more

Great place! I have been to other cat cafes and this one is great because you don't have to pay for encounter or be around cats, if you don't want to. You can just have a drink and see cats from the other room. It was helpful because our toddler was entertained. We did want to come inside to see kitties but we didn't make appointment and the wait was way too long for us. Ambience is super friendly and cozy. The only criticism is they didn't have decaffeinated espresso so we just had a tea. They also sell few things for kitties and some other cat themed items. read more

How can I give petting cats anything less than five stars? Me and my sister made the trip down to St Aug to visit this place since we had followed them on Facebook for a while. It exceeded expectations! The cafe: the girl working explained that they can make anything that Starbucks can, which was helpful since the menu is very plentiful! I can't speak on the quality of the drinks since I didn't end up getting one, but they did sell cute cat cookies which were yum! The general environment: so cute, so cozy. They make a relatively small location feel quite cozy! There is a nice area outside of the cat cafe with a few tables and a couch in case you don't want to pet the cats the whole time. They also have a super cute cat themed shopping area with pins, cat toys, stickers, mugs, and other fun cat items. The place is extremely well taken care of. The cats: most importantly, of course. Such sweet sweet babies! It did cost $12 per person to visit the cats, which I had absolutely no problem paying. People who complain about this get a major thumbs down. The money supports the cats, and that is what you are here for. Cats are not cheap to take care of so please be considerate. The cats were a great mix of kittens and adults. When one cat walked away, another cat would walk up! You will never be bored and the 30 minutes goes by very quickly. They even have a handout sort of thing where you can see little bios of all the cats so you can identify them. There is up to 20 cats in the room at once! Today it was 19. The staff: second best to the cats. Both girls were so amazingly friendly and even came to hangout with us in the cat room at the end! One of the girls answered all of my questions about the place and they all knew the cats extremely well. Overall, an absolutely amazing experience. So worth going to visit and pet the cats. Please shop the items or get a drink, these type of businesses deserve the support! read more

Staff is very friendly. The facility is newly remodeled (very well btw) and I couldn't even tell there were 20+ cats because it smells so clean and fresh. My wife wanted to go here for her birthday, and she's loving it. I am literally sitting in the cafe playing with cats while writing this read more

We just spent a heavenly hour loving on the sweetest cats at the Witty Whisker. We were more than happy to pay the $12/person admission fee to go into the immaculately clean cat room, knowing that the proceeds support the work the cafe does to care for and adopt out these lovely pets through their partner rescue. The cats were so sweet and obviously extremely well cared-for. The nice thing about the cat room is that the cats can choose to be in there to socialize or they can leave through a little kitty door to go into a private space away from people. That means that the 10 or so cats available really WANTED human connection! While we didn't eat, we did have fun shopping in their adorable gift shop and my husband - a coffee aficionado- really enjoyed his espresso prepared by the warm and welcoming barista. This was a highlight of our day in St Augustine, and will be on our to-do list for every future visit! read more

When you visit cafes like this, you are PAYING TO SUPPORT THE CAUSE. Please understand the proceeds from admission price, etc. is to go towards helping, feeding, etc. for these cats. It was a beautiful thing looking at all the plaques they have on the wall with how many cats they've help get adopted! I absolutely love this idea of having a community cat cafe that helps people find their forever fur baby! I highly recommend coming here to support a great local cat rescue cafe!! TIP: BOOK ON THEIR ONLINE WEBSITE!! Ambiance: 10/10 When you walk in, you'll see the cat lounge and all the fur babies, you'll have to check in with the barista to see if they have availability for the cat lounge if you didn't book online. Sometimes the spots fill up pretty quick! There's a big window from the cafe looking into the cat lounge where you can watch the cats. I learned the hard way & didn't book an online reservation so we could not go inside the cat lounge due to it already being fully booked! We decided to hangout in the cafe area, ordered coffees and a few sweets to just enjoy the atmosphere. Food: 10/10 Drinks were great! I ordered a limited time Chocolate Strawberry latte and my husband ordered a mocha latte. Cute homemade sweets were available to purchase, we got a brownie bite and cupcakes which tasted homemade with love! Service: 10/10 Service was great, they were friendly and greeted us with a smile! Even though they broke the bad news to us that we wouldn't be able to go inside the cat lounge, I believe they expected us to be mad or upset because I feel as if people lash out at the employees here due to not getting their way... When I said no worries we'd still like to order coffee, they looked like they had a huge sense of relief off their shoulders which I'm happy I could provide that to them if that was the case. read more

This was a great cat cafe experience! Lots of cats and helpful information about them. I never felt rushed. The iced mocha was amazing and the staff readily answered all of my questions about the St. Augustine area. Would definitely go again! read more

Walked all the way from the main area of Saint Augustine, or the castle, the distillery, the trolley rides are. Was disappointed to find out it was $11 per person just to sit in the cat lounge. I would've happily bought something from their café with me and my six guest. But to pay $70 to pet the cats and then feel obligated to buy from the café as well that doesn't sit right with my wallet. read more

This is a cute coffee shop with even cuter entertainment. The coffee was amazing and the kitties were gorgeous. I spent my time just letting them walk around and sipping coffee. I love that the walls are decorated with previous cafe goers that got adopted. These kinds of places do something very cool where they create a community space for both cats and cat lovers. Really awesome to just know that you're around your people, cat people. And the evidence of the community it helps is all over the wall. I love this place, can't wait to come back. read more

We popped in with our two kids before we hit the City of Saint Augustine for the day. It's a cute cafe that has a bunch of cats and kittens. It's a $10 donation per person to go into the cat lounge and you can spend as long as you want there. Since we had a lot on the agenda, we spent about an hour there to get our cat fix. You're welcome to get something from the lounge such as coffee, tea, pastries, or something other to drink before entering the cat lounge. The staff went over the rules prior to entering and I went in with my kids while my husband hung in the cafe area. My kids and I were in awe of all of the kittens and cats that were there. There is plenty of play and relax areas for the cats to explore and be entertained. Some of the cats were curious and loved playing with the people that were there. Everyone of all ages will enjoy and have fun there. read more

Was visiting for the first time and left super disappointed. Walked up to the register and it seemed that the barista couldn't care less about having us there. Told her it was our first time and she was not helpful in explaining how anything works. Let alone that you have to PAY to pet the cats. We were just planning on stopping by, have coffee and playing with the kitties for 10 mins or so. She never mentioned the fee until the iPad was turned in our direction. I thought the coffee was $48. It was $11 for the 3 of us to sit with the cats for an hour. I feel that a good ambiance was not built to feel inclined to adopt the kitties. doesn't seem that getting the cats a good home was the focal point of the business. read more

Awesome setup and a cool area to hang with cats and even adopt if you want! Definitely check ot out!

It was very clean and well kept up. The coffee was Amazing and the cats were very friendly and playful. I took my two girls and I didn't think I would enjoy it, but I really did and will go back again. There were lots of toys to play with the cats with. Fun times. Sweet Cats! read more

The allure of a "Cat Cafe" is obviously the cats, however, our experience was awkward and off putting before we got inside the cafe by an employee greeting my family at the door and telling me to move my truck due to it being too large and obscuring the view of the little patio table outside of the cafe. Not a great start. When then are told that in order to actually pet the cats, it's $11 per person. We ended up getting a Chai tea and some ice blended coffees. While the price wasn't bad - about $6 per drink - the drinks weren't blended. We ended up watching the cats through a window from the cafe portion, missing out on the fun that is the actual Cat Cafe. Imagine that Narcos meme of Pablo Escobar standing by himself all alone. That was us while being talked down to by the Cat Cafe staff. read more

Whether you're a cat lover or just need a relaxing activity for the day this place is a must! For those who have never heard of a cat cafe, it's exactly what it sounds like: cats, and coffee! You mix the environment of a coffee shop: warm, inviting, and cozy, with the best animal on earth, cats! Witty Whisker brings in cats of all walks of life that are avaliable for adoption. You get to meet the cats, play with them and get to know them better. You don't even have to adopt a cat you can just come to play with the cats. It's 11 dollars per person for an hour, so it's cheap and fun. In the cafe area they serve hot and iced drinks, pastries, and other goodies like treats to give out to the cats. Overall, very fun and relaxing day. Highly recommend! read more

My husband and I came to St. Augustine for a weekend getaway and I needed some kitty love and The Witty Whisker met my needs for the day! Everyone was so nice and the kitties were the absolute sweetest and friendliest I've met! I fell in love with one tiny black kitty that I wish I could've adopted! Such a cozy set up for cats and humans alike. You can even purchase treats and cat nip to share with them all. Enjoy! read more

f you love cats this place is a must! It's really not too far from downtown (I would still recommended biking or driving) and is such a relaxing experience. They have a large menu of snacks, coffee and wine! My husband got an americano with almond milk and I got a Cabernet, both delicious! We spent about 2 hours here on a rainy afternoon and it was so cozy and fun. They have so many sweet cats with tons of toys to interact with them. I wanted to take so many home and tbt good news is you can! They offer adoptions at a super reasonable rate. Everyone that works here is so sweet and knows the cats well, it such a pleasure to get insights on the cats personalities. When you enter you first pay a flat fee for entry to the cat area (you can just get drinks and watch the cats from outside their enclosure if you would like) and you can bring your drinks into the play area. 10/10 highly recommend!!!! read more

This place is amazing. Saving kitty cats and making great coffee. What is better than that. I wish I lived here.

Such a cute and relaxing environment to hang out with the cats, even though we have cats at home we've always wanted to experience the cat cafe.

You are also able to purchase cat treats which was pretty awesome!! read more

Oh MY puurrrrfect goodness! The ladies working the shop are friendly and fun-tstic! And then there are all the furbabies!!! It's a $10 donation to go into the cat lounge, they also have a wonderful coffee and tea selection, bake goods and tons of cat swag items. Crazy cat lady- count me in! I ordered a pumpkin spice latte and I got a cinnamon cat on top of my foam! lol~ it is the little things that make me happy! I chatted with the ladies and showed off my kitty pictures and eventually made my way to the lounge. Taco- a black cat with a nipped ear and a little white spot on his chest greeted me, he came over to be pet and then promptly laid down and exposed his belly to me~ yes, I am a cat whisperer. Next up- another black cat, named Dragon. Followed by a slightly skittish black and white tuxedo girl who was leaning into pets but swishing her tail violently like she was agitated. Mixed signals be damned- she wanted lovin! A cutie little tabby was very playful with everyone, chasing the feather stick and eventually allowed me to pet him (?). There were others- sleeping in the window, bathed in sun. Sleeping in the doll house- converted into cat lounges. I think there were ten cats. Rose- who was sleeping in the window was such a dear. After almost everyone had left the lounge- she got up and climbed up my chest kneaded me, head but me and nose kissed me!!! Purring all the while. She tempted me~ Adopt, don't buy. And stop in for some pets and playtime. read more

Great experience the employees really care about the cats too! Great coffee too this place was super cute to visit.

5 stars because this is also a cat lounge. Make a reservation and for $10 you can spend an hour with the cats - all adoptable. This is a great way to socialize the cats. All the cats are used to people. That doesn't mean all want to be pet and let and pet. You just have to know when a cat is done getting affection. Some sleep through it all. Some play with you. Some just didn't you fascinating. The cafe has some drinks and coffees. I'm not familiar with St Sebastian Winery but appreciate the Cafe is serving local. We had espresso which was fantastic. My mom tried the rose espresso which she said was just like having a rose petal in her espresso and it was very good. If you love cats or are missing yours while you're on vacation this is a great place to grab a latte or a glass of wine (and a cupcake) and give these sweet cats some time and affection. read more

Pro tip: buy a bag of cat treats and all the kitties will be your best friend!! This place was so fun. I try to go to a cat cafe every time I visit a new city. There were 17 cats in the room so there was no shortage of cuddles to go around!! They even had some kittens!! Staff was friendly and helpful, but they give you space when it's time to visit the cats, which is nice. They have snacks, coffee, and alcoholic beverages available for purchase too! read more

Cute cafe that we drove by when we were on our way into St Augustine. We looked at reviews and it was positive. We noticed you have to make a reservation as well. Of note, it's $11/person! Wowza! That's ridiculous but I'm hoping those funds will go towards a good use. The cats were all sweet, fairly chill and very well cared for. The kitty litter boxes are in a separately attached room which is awesome for minimizing smells. So yeah, we spent $55 or so for a family of four to enter and play and two small bags of kitty treat and small bag of organic catnip. I didn't try any beverages sadly because we had spent so much already. The front lady was pleasant and chitchatted. She seemed miffed though when I didn't tip. Very chill cafe and all things cats! read more

If you are a cat lover, but can't have a cat for whatever reason, this delightful cat cafe is perfect. There are two rooms. One for desserts and sips, and a large playroom with beautiful cats. There is a $10.00 per person charge to play with the cats. Children of all ages will love it. If you are out for a meal, consider coffee and dessert here. You may find the perfect kitty to adopt. Will definitely be back. TV read more

Their hours showed 8 pm closing time on Yelp. Got there 10 minutes to 6:00 pm when they told us they were closing early at 6 and that we only had 10 mins to play with the cats. My son was so disappointed so we decided to take the 10 mins since we drove all the way there. They still charged us $10 each for 10 mins and we couldn't even order a drink. When we entered, we could only pet one cat because all the other people were with the other cats. If you want to spend time with cats or want to adopt a cat, go to a local shelter instead and save your money. The smell as you enter is also not enticing at all. It smells like an animal shelter so you probably won't want to order a latte or drink of any kind. read more

A purrrfect experience. The coffee is yummy, the cats are friendly, the space is beautifully set up and very clean. I was surprised there was absolutely no odor in the cat lounge at all! I did fall in love, but I live many states away, so everyone should go check out this this kitty Arkansas!

The bad reviews of this place are obviously from those who are not pet people lol. My boyfriend and I stopped in the Witty Whisker Cat Cafe at the beginning of our day in St. Augustine. The cafe is quiet, clean, and the menu is pretty large. I ordered an iced earl grey tea and my boyfriend got a mocha cappuccino and both were delicious. The staff was very friendly and they were quick to tell us how the cat lounge works so that we were not confused about it. We paid for the cat lounge but sat in the cafe to drink our drinks first. The cafe has windows so you can see into the lounge and observe all the furry friends. After our drinks, we went in and immediately fell in love with all the kitties. Every single one was friendly (no scratches, biting, etc). There was no animal smell in the lounge and each cat looked very clean and well taken care of. I was very impressed by how healthy each cat looked. They are definitely loved! Of course, if there's a specific one that you fall in love with - good news! You can adopt them! The prices to adopt seemed to be pretty steep (around $150 or more) but I think it would be worth it to give a furry friend a safe home. My boyfriend left with big smiles on our faces. Coffee and rescued animals is an amazing mix! We will be back for sure! read more
