We booked private experiences with the baby capybaras and then a separate private session with a couple of the adults -- and it exceeded every expectation. The babies were absolutely adorable, gentle, and so interactive. Getting that up-close time made it feel really special and personal. The adult capybaras were just as amazing. Calm, sweet, and fascinating to observe. The staff took the time to share so much educational information about the animals -- their behavior, care, and personalities -- which made the experience even more meaningful for my kids. It wasn't just cute photo moments (although there were plenty of those!). It was educational, hands-on, and thoughtfully organized. My kids were beyond excited and are still talking about it. If you're looking for something unique, family-friendly, and unforgettable, this is it. We will absolutely be back!

So check this out: *The staff are all super friendly!! I've never met an unfriendly person here! *The drinks are super tasty, and really very decently priced! *The kittens are friendly and too stinking cute, because why wouldn't they be? They're cats! *The kittens do rotate out; they're all up for adoption (Through a shelter or cat rescue, I believe) so you're likely to meet new furry faces every time. *It's all really easy to book; just book a spot online and show up on time. *Lots of parking and easy to find!

They…read morehad walk-in registrations available at 11:00AM so we ordered some drinks and waited before we were allowed into the cat play area. They had a lot of cats and kittens and every one of them were so cute! Pink collars were girls and blue collars were boys. If their collar had a flower on it, it meant the cat could be feisty if it's not feeling it. A time slot is an hour so you can hang out with the cats for that entire duration. They have a lot of wands and balls lying around. The room was very clean and I didn't smell cat or litter at all. They had a cat window into the other room and I guess that's where the food and litter were located. I had a fun time playing with the cats. Some were sleeping but a lot of them were being active and running around! You can't pick up the cats though but many of them will let you pet them. These cats are available for adoption! I am not local to the area and I already have two cats but if you're looking for one this place seems pretty good to get a furry friend! Nice cat cafe and I would come back!

However, due to Cindy's behavior, i stopped volunteering and visiting entirely. the lounge was once under investigation because of her behavior, and based on my experience, those concerns were valid. Cindy presents herself as compassionate, but she is manipulative, unprofessional, and often cruel. She talks badly about employees to others, slut-shames staff, dismisses sexual harassment, spreads personal and intimate information, and retaliates when employees or volunteers set boundaries. volunteers are guilt-tripped into overworking, and those who say no are treated differently. she also speaks disrespectfully about paying customers and regularly gives unsolicited medical opinions despite not being a doctor. when concerns are brought to her, she deflects blame, refuses accountability, and dismisses criticism. Cindy claims KCL is struggling due to lack of visitors, but the high prices, tense environment, overall mismanagement, and homeless camp in the parking lot may be why. i sent her a detailed message explaining my concerns; her response was dismissive and condescending, and she took no responsibility. the cats, staff, and volunteers deserve far better than this leadership.

I'm not sure if the chef's in the kitchen or are Italian or not but they have those recipes down pet lol. Being Italian I really appreciated the joy of having real Italian food, including desserts! The chocolate cake was amazing! And the tiramisu was different, but it was actually very good! Next time I want to try dining in, but I am sure the food will be just as good as it was for takeout. The weight was only about 15 minutes for me to get my food once I called it in which was to be expected since it was New Year's Eve. The scene is like a regular restaurant seating with tables for any size party as well as our area too!

I paid $23 dollars for a what was even smaller than a personal size pizza. They upcharge for the crust $4 - which is higher than most places and for the size of it - they should really not even offer it at all. I got a topping added, which was another $3 and it was so lacking in toppings I questioned if they made a mistake. For this price, I could have gone to their sister restaurant down the street and gotten a full meal! Just overall disappointing. Only good reason to back would be the bakery and gelato but that's it. Also, there is no way to submit feedback to the overall company so that's a shame.

It took a very, very, very long time for our sandwiches, at least 15-20 minutes, and they weren't busy, which made it pretty disappointing. If you plan to order in-store, expect to sit and wait. 2 sandwiches I feel shouldn't be almost 20 min. I'd probably stick to ordering bagels to go next time. I'd hesitate to get a hot sandwich to go, though, since it's a 15‑minute drive home and it likely wouldn't hold up well.
