    Wanted to pet some cats so we came here. What a fun concept of interacting with the cats, having some coffee, and just relaxing. I had a chai latte and it was a decent cup of coffee. But the most fun was getting to play with the little cats. I also bought some stuff to take back to my daughters as they are cat crazy. It's a little expensive to get in since you have to pay to play with the cats. But it's for a good cause

    Went there a couple of weeks ago with my cousins and had a great time! The place is very clean and there are many measures in place to ensure that every customer is washing their hands so that the cats remain clean. Truly appreciate that! The staff were very nice and took the time to explain the background of all the cats. The area was spacious enough for all customers to enjoy and their timeslots ensure that all customers have enough time without overcrowding the place. One thing I would say is that they don't have a lot of options for food and the food that we did get, we were not able to eat properly because cats would surround it and we would have to move it around. I guess that is expected being a cat cafe! Overall, a must visit :)

    I've gone to the Catfe several times but have never tried any of their food or drinks. I come solely for cats! Your visit really just depends on the personality of the cats when you visit! The staff always provide really good service. There's a handy handwashing station at the entrance. Lots of cat toy options to use. The ambiance is very casual, cozy, and clean. It's a little hot in there when the sun is out so beware--it's very exposed due to the large windows. You can easily cool down in shaded areas though. When I came at 1pm, a lot of the cats seemed really sleepy--it must have been siesta time! Most of the cats were really relaxed and didn't run away when you came up to them to pet them. One even sat in my lap for a few seconds before rascaling out. Overall, this place is great for my purposes--cat therapy lol. Not the best cat cafe in Vancouver though.

    In our search for a cat to adopt, I thought it would be fun for my husband and I to check out the Catfe and spend some time interacting with multiple cats all at once. (In truth, I thought it would be a neat experience, even if we didn't find any cats we wished to adopt). Online reservations may be done through their website, and spots can sell out fast for the prime time reservations. After arriving at the location and seeing the small space of the entire Catfe, I can appreciate their need to encourage people to make reservations. You can show up ahead of time and place your order of drinks/snacks that will be delivered to you once you are inside the cat portion. Personally I was hoping they would have more cost effective drink and snack options, but I didn't dare ask if we could go inside without paying for food. Each time slot is roughly 50 minutes long, and you are given instructions by the friendly "Cat Whisperer" on duty. They will lay out the basic ground rules for how to interact with the cats and be there to answer any questions you may have about the cats up for adoption. We went in the evening, and all the cats were either hiding/napping in the little cubby holes, or stretched out on the counters and very much used to human presence. The Cat Whisperer did his best to let us know which cats may be a good fit for us, but my husband and I both felt like this was not our preferred venue to look for adopting a cat. We probably came during the peak times and while the cats were napping, but we found it incredibly hard to get a good sense of any cat's personality, when so many humans were vying for their attention. It would be a great unique date, don't get me wrong, but my advice is if you are looking to adopt a cat from the Catfe, find a way to come during the slow hours, do your research on which cats are available for adoption (a list is on their website), and ask to see if one-on-one meetings are available.

    Such a cute cafe doing great work for Vancouver's kitties in need of homes. The interior of the cat cafe was well lit, cutely decorated, and had lots of space for cats and people alike. There is a cute boutique with drinks, food, and cat-themed gifts. The cats were a bit sleepy when we visited at noon, but we still got to pet them and even enjoyed some playtime. The adoption costs seemed high compared to other shelters and cat cafes I've visited, but considering you'd get a well socialized, healthy, and fixed cat, as well as support a great adoption initiative, it'd be well worth it.

    This was a great cat cafe! Went June 2022 Every city we go to that's bigger than home(anchorage AK) we look up cat cafes! This one is in downtown Vancouver over by the Costco. It's in a not so great mall that has little other to do but it's in a great location with lots of south side windows that let in a lot of sun! I made a reservation one day in advanced online thru their website. I think they were limiting the number of people in at one time. There were 8 of us total. They have a little shop where you can buy treats and coffee that you can bring inside the cat area with you. They have so much cute cat merch. Inside the cat room, there were cats everywhere! Some of them sleeping in the nice sun (who wouldn't be!) there were several playing with toys too. A few cats would jump right into your lap and one perched it's front legs up on my shoulder like he was giving me a hug! There was one lady working in the room and she knew about all the cats but was in there cleaning in case anyone had questions or something. They are all about adopting out the cats so I was happy to support that. It was about 13$ per person which is not bad! There were tons of sleeping quarters, shelves on the walls that the cats climb on and thru, and tons of toys! I feel this place has improved from the bad reviews that I had read(after I went) I feel they take great care of the cats and had a lovely set up.

    We've arrived without a reservation on a weekday and the clerk was kind enough to immediately check us in and explain how it works. We absolutely loved the experience! Some of the braver cats immediately came to greet us, while some sleepy heads took the time to wake up ~ but allowed us to kindly pet them! The staff brought our drinks inside the cat area and we enjoyed them while petting the little ones and seeing them play. We were surprised how clean the area was for a place that houses over 20 cats! The cats look happy and well taken care off :) Honestly I am a bit troubled by the negative reviews below. Some folks are complaining about the cats not wanting to play with them. We are talking about animals here! Common!

    **Catdads and cat moms beware!! This place is just too adorable!** I went here with my friend Lydia on Feb24th (Monday) and finally kept my promise. I kept my promise bringing her to Catfe and the day finally came. We both paid $10 for admission and my pal spent around $20 including admission, coffee and muffin. We had a blast since it was a slowest day of the week. Weekends are busy where customers are fully booked. Best part was playing with cats. Most of them were shy around people and few were playful. Great place to relieve stress. One tabby kept coming close to my pal and wanted bite of her food. They have toy mouse, laser pointer and other toys. The funniest part was seeing a feisty cat fighting with other cats and got food stolen by another cat LOL. We both had a blast here. We spent more than 2 hours it was more than enough. Like most visitors, we took tons of cat photos for memories. These cats really made us swoon. I wish we had a chance to feed cats too.

    Took my partner here for his birthday and we both loved it! The staff was really friendly and they were lots of cute kitties!! They have toys and beds and cubbies for the cats. We came early so they let us go in early which we appreciated!

    Super fun way to spend a rainy afternoon! We had a great time. Entrance fees go towards the cats. Food and drink prices are average. It's a great way to get to know a potential cat before adopting. We really enjoyed our visit and would definitely go back.

    I love cats! It's great that they team up with the SPCA to get all the cats adopted! The barista is a chill grad student and a cat enthusiast. I love that the drinks are all cat themed and the gift shop has tons of cat themed goodies available for purchase. I got a hot chococat and a cute ring. I was informed by the barista that a portion of the proceeds goes to the SPCA. In Hawaii, we have cat pop ups and those usually run $7 for half an hour, so the Catfe prices are great! It's $5 with a purchase otherwise, $8 for admission. I'm very happy that the cats are friendly and actually want to interact with you! If I lived in Vancouver, I would definitely adopt at least one or two cats or frequently visit. We have such a huge cat fan base in Hawaii, we are desperately in need of one. Thank you for reading my reviews! Let me know what I should try next!

    My first visit to a cat cafe. I am a huge cat and dog fan plus I am a huge rescue supporter. This place it is recommended to reserve your time online to go. It is $8 entrance fee or $5 with a purchase. Making online reservations are really easy and I definitely recommend it. This location is really cool because it is located in the International Mall right in Chinatown on the second floor. They have a few sweet kitty related treats plus a drink selection (non-alcoholic). When I came in I was hoping for a huge room filled with kitties. It was a spacious room but not filled with kitties. There were a few wandering a around or sleeping. Not bad and very different from what I expected. All of their cats come from the SPCA, a rescue and are adoptable. Every Thursday they get new cats. On the wall is are pictures and bios of each kitty. I am totally supportive of this idea. It gives you a chance to get to know a cat before committing to them. I love the idea and each entry gets you an hour play time. But I will put it out here, don't expect to play with cats for an hour. Most of them might not pay too much attention to you. Think of this place more as a place to go, sit down, play some board games, talk with some friends, chill with the option of the occasional to play with. Also consider the time of day, cats are more active at certain times so if you come during nap time then just expect to chill.

One thing noticeable about this restaurant is the lacking of plates. They used majority of their plates to serve the food on. However the food were served as finger foods and we were expected to hold our food in our hand. Somewhat strange. They also ran out of glasses during the party. The bartender couldn't even keep up with our drinks. Anyways other than the above. The event was a great event. I got the opportunity to try all four of their mocktails: - Blueberry Basil Lemonade - Mango Lavender Lemonade - Minty-Berry Sour - Pear Lavender Sour All their drinks were very fancy prepared and my favorite are the Minty-Berry Sour and the Blueberry Basil Lemonade. I also found that there is some inconsistency in the glass they serve it out of. The food was delicious as mentioned before. My favorite out of their finger foods were the grill cheese brisket. OMG that was really good. The other memorable items are the porkbelly and fried chicken. I think the fried chicken is one of their popular items on the menu served during brunch. The cheesecake at the end I got was very soft but flavorful. The cheeseburger slider was really good too. Overall I really enjoyed the food. The atmosphere and decor of the place was nice. The restaurant is very small. Because we were over 100 people, there was a wait for the 3 stalls in the bathroom. There was not enough tables and chairs for everyone to sit. I think the restaurant can comfortably maybe accommodate around 40 or 50 guests max. I will definitely be back again someday to try their brunch menu.
