    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!

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    This was my third visit. This time I included my parents. We had a great time. Will come back again, next time I am in St Augustine.

    Amelia was super friendly and gave us great recommendations for us to go to while we're in town visiting! It was super nice to get to spend some time with some furbabies and put some new places on our to-do list!

    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!

Everything is thoughtfully designed to create a cozy, welcoming environment, but the real highlight is, of course, the capybaras! Getting to observe and gently interact with these calm, friendly animals made the visit feel truly special and unlike anything else in the area. The staff was wonderful as well--kind, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the animals and guest experience. They made sure we felt comfortable, explained everything clearly, and helped make my wife's birthday feel extra special. What really sets the Capybara Café apart is how peaceful and joyful the whole experience is. It's not just a café visit--it's a memory you'll talk about long after you leave. Perfect for couples, families, or anyone looking for something truly different and meaningful. We couldn't have asked for a better birthday experience. We'll definitely be coming back!

We rolled in on a ridiculously hot day just 15 minutes before their 3:00 PM closing time. We were celebrating my sister, so we ordered a bunch of fun drinks and sheepishly asked if it was okay to just finish them while they closed up. They didn't just say it was fine--they made us feel completely at home! Here is why you absolutely must stop in if you are in the area: The Drinks: We had a blast tasting everyone's orders. My Lavender Lemonade was completely on the money--exactly what I needed on a sweltering day! The Amazing Staff: Ashlynn was an absolute doll. She was so sweet and accommodating, even at the very end of her shift. Above-and-Beyond Hospitality: The owner, Mike, is simply awesome. He came over to chat, found out we were celebrating my sister, and hooked her up with a free refill! But the magic didn't stop there. We mentioned we were having a party for my sister later, and Mike went out of his way to give us bagels and this marvelous butter-flavored cream cheese that was literally to die for! He even packed up some extra so we'd have plenty for our bagels later. I cannot wait to come back to St. Augustine just to stop by this wonderful place again. I absolutely love it here. Please make sure you add it to your itinerary (just remember they close at 3 PM!).
