    Gingerbread latte

    Went to have coffee and play with cats. They take the shelter cats and give them a fun place to stay until they are adopted. The whole room has tons of cat toys and places to hang out. It's $10 a person for an hour in the cat room. Would definitely be back. I hope all the cats get a nice home they were all so sweet. Reservations to play with the cats are highly recommended.

    Absolutely love this place! The kitties were a little skiddish, but a few broke out of there shells and were the sweetest fur babies!! My happy meter is full!! The pumpkin muffins are so amazingly soft and flavorful. The espresso is strong and delightful! Whenever I return to Indiana for a visit I will make this a for sure stop of mine.

    We had a really good experience here at the Black Forest Cat Cafe. We adopted 2 cats and they've been a dream!! The staff was really friendly and informative while we were there. The cat room was clean and the man working in there knew all of their names, how long they had been there, etc. I think it's so great that the cats are around so many people and other cats, before they are adopted. In my opinion, this makes them more social and less skittish. A couple things that could be improved upon... If there is a cat you want to adopt, you have no idea whether or not someone has already put in their application to adopt them. Which means, if you fall in love, and someone has already put in an application, and they get approved, you don't get the cat. :( The second thing being, getting into the cat room. It's a little confusing. There is a tablet near the door of the cat room, but we weren't sure if someone would come over to sign us in, or if it was to sign yourself in, or if it was for the waiver, or if it was to make a reservation. There was no one standing there to tell us either.

    My toffee crunch iced latte with oat milk was incredible!!!!! The espresso was not burnt and smooth! The inside was clean and so cute! Cat decorations everywhere! They also sold car themed jewelry and other items. The service was great and I was greeted instantly! They were helpful and kind when I was ordering! Highly recommend this place! The cat area is separate from the rest of the cafe. You have to have a slot reserved which is $10 for 55 minutes. They do walk ins but they are often booked. You can book on their website!

    Coffee!

    Purrrfect pet petting and tea sipping paradise, convinced my buddy, who also couldn't believe The Loving Cafe cooked vegan food fit for a carnivore, and even though he didn't need to get up close with cats I was smitten with the grown up kitten collection. Not only that the menu! It is huge! Take a good scratch round the drinks and food, plenty of quality brews too, this is divine feline time and fancy feast for humans. I was waiting for an afternoon date with Conjure to do the cherry bean stuff and happily mewed to a Blue Moon. They layered it! That's one tail flicking pretty concoction that even with only a Chicago latte to compare to was totally winning for my morning. I love a simple mix of flavors done right. Matcha isn't for everyone nor my everyday but this makes a good reason to pad around Fort Wayne more often. My buddy was basic with caramel forward espresso that was very easy to drink. It's great to see the many other high reviews are not just catering to Garfield bias or cheap sugar centric glasses. I can easily recommend Black Forrest to all Toms!

    Another great visit today! Friendly staff, inclusive environment, clean cat room, great vibes. One of my happy places!

    Absolutely love this place! The staff is super friendly, they have great snacks (my favorite is the toasted roll with butter and jam, but the bacon avocado roll is also nice) and drinks (hot chai ftw!) including some nice limited time specialty drinks. It's always clean and the outside cafe fits the kitty theme well. They have photos on the wall of all the cats they've adopted! The cat room is awesome and pretty cheap for an hour visit, and you can take your drinks (just not food) in either you. But you can also just grab a snack and watch the cats from the cafe through the window table setup. The cats are always well taken care of and the staff is always excited for arrivals and adoptions, they'll tell you anything you want to know about the cats inside. They cater mostly to older cats, to find them homes, though occasionally have kitten days. A great place to go unwind! Kid friendly too, so long as there's a guardian and the kids are kind to the kitties.

    Firefly Coffee House - The sausage gravy for the biscuits was phenomenal! Absolutely delicious & only $8!!

The outside patio is huge and most of it is covered so that's a win. There are garden beds and planters everywhere, so you don't feel like it's in a strip mall at all. Parking was a bit weird since there were only a few spots out front but lots around other businesses. The coffee was good. The smores latte was the fall drink I tried and it was pretty sweet! Almost too sweet to drink a large one. My friends got americanos and they loved those and said the coffee flavor was great. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Would definitely come back!

There was a really nice flavor of sausage, instead of the flour base that most restaurants choose to use. The biscuits were an interesting choice and weren't bad, but that gravy was the entire reason for their being. At only $8, I will definitely be back to get more! The service was fine, considering the food is brought to you, but nothing more. The ambiance was very much a coffee shop's ambiance, which is a good thing. I look forward to being on this side of Fort Wayne again so I can chow down on more sausage gravy!!

The environment has a slightly industrial feel with just a hint of coziness, which gives it a modern but still comfortable vibe. I ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese bagel. It was alright -- nothing special, but given the size and volume of the place, I don't necessarily expect everything to be made completely fresh to order. It did the job. The service was also just alright. My interaction with the barista/bartender was brief and unfortunately a bit stale. She wasn't rude, just not particularly warm or memorable. Overall, it's a convenient place with a lot of options, but the experience itself was pretty average.
