Hawai'i Cat Café is one of my favorite little places near my home that features adoptable, adorable…read morecats and tasty drinks and snacks. They have a great mission: They team up with the Hawaiian Humane Society to showcase cats and kittens that are available for adoption, and if you are vetted and selected, you can take your chosen cat(s) home for their new life with you! Even if you're not in the market for a new companion, you can go to the Café, get a coffee or Italian soda, eat a scone, and pet adorable cats. There's always a nice rotating mixture of frisky kittens and older cats, and some are napping while others are playing. There are toys in the room where the cats are so you can interact with them. I always recommend reservations but you can walk in and see if there are spots available. You get lots of time to interact with the cats and it's usually not packed so there's room to interact with multiple kitties. Please check it out--it's such a good cause!

Cute little cat cafe located in Pearl Kai kitty corner (get it?) from PowerHouse gym. They have 2…read morerooms - adults vs babies - for you to sit and mingle with the cats. $17 per person for 50 mins. Odd set up with the bathroom between both rooms but it works. Be careful, the cats like to escape the rooms when you're trying to enter/exit! Simple cafe style foods, a few chairs & tables to sit at while watching cats or eating/drinking. If you're prone to scents, I'd suggest you wear a face mask. Plenty of parking, friendly staff.

I want to start off by saying I appreciate Toe Beans mission and cause, my boyfriend and I have…read morevisited here about 5 or 6 times, because we love hanging out and playing with cats. We'd really love to adopt a cat. We have donated money to Pretzel the puppy and other kitties at Toe Beans who needed urgent medical funds. Each time is a gamble on how well the visit will go because sometimes the kitties will be sick, or tired, and not in the mood to be social. There have been visits where the kitties had runny eyes, sneezed out mucus onto us, and just wanted to sleep. Today was one of those days. I'm not saying this is the kitties fault or that I blame them for being sick, the play rooms are small and so sickness between them can spread easily. It is odorous inside the establishment because there aren't open windows and the litter boxes are inside the rooms. They do have air purifiers but it doesn't help much to be honest. Today we made an appointment to go at 11, which was the earliest we ever went, and it was actually busier than we expected. They had rearranged the furniture around in the adult cat room so I had to crouch until one of the other guests offered me a stool to sit on. Two older women who seemed like regulars came into the room about 10 minutes after I entered and one of them moved a large cat bed off of one of the 2 benches so that she could sit. Then they scattered a bunch of cat treats from a bag that they had brought in themselves over the floor to feed the cats. I had never experienced that in my other visits and it was honestly off putting, because it made the free treats that are given to us to get the kitties attention pretty much useless. It just felt.. wrong. There was a strand of cat mucus on the grey cupboard that I was sitting on, and I warned my boyfriend to watch out for it before he sat down. One of the older women said "I don't think you should sit there, it's their litter box". Before she and her companion came in, another guest had been sitting on the cupboard. I only moved to sit on it once the guest moved to sit next to her girlfriend on one of the benches and because the stool was uncomfortable. Also, in our past visits, people always sat on that grey cupboard. So.. I don't know why she felt the need to tell me that. My boyfriend said that the 10 guest limit might be a bit too many people to let in at once to play with the cats. I find myself agreeing with him after today. We were really looking forward to hanging out with the cats today, but those 2 older women who dumped their own treats into the room like they were feeding a feral cat colony and the stressed, sick cats who just wanted to sleep or only move around to eat treats made us leave much earlier than the 50 minutes we paid for. Again, I appreciate what Toe Beans mission is, but they should look into changing certain things, such as installing open windows to allow ventilation and cleaning the rooms more. And maybe taking "sick days" for the cats so they aren't forced to entertain guests when they aren't feeling well.

The cats also seemed happy and well cared for, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The biggest draw for me was the variety of cats. They have so many breeds that you don't normally get to see in person, including some exotic and rare breeds. There were around 20 cats, and it was fun seeing all the different personalities and breeds (though as cats are wont to do they were mostly sleeping in the afternoon when I went). The cats were friendly and so were the staff. You can also buy treats if you want to encourage the cats to come over and say hello. The price is okay for the experience, especially if you're a cat person.

They have a variety of foods, sourdough melts, hawaiian food plates, spam musubi, s&s Saimin, tater puffs (tater tots), cookies, desserts, shave ice, flat breads, croissants. We tried the kalua pig and smoked beef and cheddar sourdough melts, it came with sweeet onion chips or could upgrade $1.99 to tater puffs, just got the chips. The melts were great they take 10 min to make and they let you know at the front which is nice. Both were great not large portions, we thought by the picture online we could share it but glad we ordered our own. The fountain drink $3.99 was pretty large so glad we only got one of those. And they have sprunch - fruit punch and sprite! What's great is they have a little play dress up kids toys corner in tutu place for kids to play, there's a few tables inside to sit down and tables outside.

With the gelato on top, it almost felt like it was a dessert. Even though the restaurant was quite busy, we were seated right away. Our server was friendly, and our food came out within a reasonable amount of time. I really liked this spot for brunch and would come here again!

We found street parking across the street since parking in front of the café was limited. Jasmin welcomed us and pointed to the menu on the wall. We saw pictures of the food outside the window and the menu was written on a chalkboard stand. Her cafe is small, but very cozy with bright, cool looking furniture, and there were beautiful art work on the walls, and she had on some catchy Arabian music as well. We tried the Meza plate: Baba Ghanoush (smoky eggplant dip), Dolmas ( tangy grape leaves), Za'atar bread( spices, onions)- Jasmin said this was everyone's favorite, after the taste of this bread you guys, it became our favorite! It tastes super nice and it was flavorful! There was feta cheese, kalamata olives, and bread cut in a triangular shape. Jasmin told us to open the bread and grab the dips, and cheese with it. Every bite was a whole different experience! It was delicious! Jasmin said we had to eat the Za'atar bread, with the cheese on it and it was just yum! Jasmin let us try Saudi coffee, with sweet dates, and I also ordered the Honey Rose Latte. The Saudi coffee had cardamom in it so it's different from regular coffees. My Honey Rose Latte was good too. Jasmin asked if I wanted my latte sweeter and added more of the sweetener in my coffee. Even Ryan liked it too! The rose water gave it a nice touch. We also had the Turkey Panini~Jasmin's turkey panini was super crispy! There was cheese melting in the inside! You can hear the crunch in every bite! There were vegetables in it too like bell peppers, pesto, zucchini, and turkey meat. Ryan and I were really loving it! And for the final course, we had to try the desserts! We ordered two kinds of cakes, the sour cream poppy seed cake, and pumpkin spice loaf. These cakes were super moist, and not as sweet, which was perfect with our coffee. And there was a nice sugary crumble texture with it! So friends, if you are feeling adventurous and want to try something new, come on down to Jasmin's cafe at Mirage Arts & Coffee. She also does open mic nights, there would be live entertainment, belly dancers, so if you want to have a small get together, Jasmin welcomes everyone. Jasmin is a wonderful host. She will walk you through everything if you are not familiar with the foods, and she will entertain you too. This place will take you to another level, transport you to somewhere you have never been. So I do recommend you guys trying for the experience.

Not sure what her role is. (Although she seems to think she is the HHS police.) She seems to have major emotional dysregulation issues and will SNAP at people who are with a foster dog, or addopting a dog, that is sniffing at the three dog display cages in front, "DON'T LET THE DOG MAKE CONTACT WITH THE PUPPY!!!" (These three cages out front seem to be featured dogs they want people to notice?) Well perhaps they should put the cages higher up?? She also asks a lot of personal questions and follows people around the shelter, observing/spying as they view or interact with dogs (passive agressive much?!?!). If HHS was SO concerned about disease transmission, perhaps they should not have cats roaming loose inside the shelter, or FERAL CHICKENS flying and running around all over the shelter and DRINKING from the dog water bowls. After three encounters with this person in April and May, I don't want to go back. It's hard enough to be grieving and I don't need to deal with people who seem to be judging everyone who enters the shelter. I may check out the Ewa location instead. HHS leadership: the bizarre woman at the front needs to get some training on keeping her personal issues at the door when she shows up for work. GEEZ!!!
