The first time I learned about the Cat Cafe concept, I immediately fell in love with the idea. Tally Cat Cafe is the first cat cafe I have ever visited and I found it to be pretty cool - but not quite what I envisioned when I first learned about the cat cafes springing up in other parts of the world. The best way for me to describe this is sort of like going to the humane society kitten room, but with a lot more modern seating and cat toy options - oh and generally agreeable/fun kitties/cats roam this space. No cats are at war like in many traditional pet adoption centers. I suppose I did not do enough research prior to visiting, since I had zero idea about the $7/hour fee to actually get to visit/interact with the cats. For some reason I pictured the sort of place where you purchase a beverage, sit at a random seat in the establishment, and cats may just be roaming around. Not the case here, heh. It is not unreasonably expensive but it is VERY helpful if you plan to arrive AT or near the TOP of an hour, or else you will do what I had to do- which was order two adorably decorated beverages and wait for 45 minutes. While you wait, you do have the entertaining view of watching the kittens play with the guests that are currently visiting (10 guests maximum at one time). But if there are a lot of people waiting to see the cats, then you might be waiting for quite a bit of time. Luckily they keep all visiting groups to a 1 hour limit - but we had the misfortune of only getting to see the cats in their playful, hyperactive state through the window for 45 minutes, because when it was our turn to finally enter the room, all of the cats were worn out and ready to go to sleep. So the group before us really lucked out. We still enjoyed our time in the cat room but had far less interaction with the cats than the previous group. One perk is that Tally Cat Cafe gives out loyalty cards, so since I earned two stamps from my first visit, I only have a few more visits to go before I earn a free one. A reward that I might not be able to reap unless I have company in town and another reason to go back. Lord knows I don't need another meowster running around just yet!
Such a fun experience! Love the cafe and before entering the cafe to be able to watch the cats Lattes, wine in a can, and craft lemonades were all delish. We visited as part of my daughter's 10th birthday celebration and had the best time. We loved the space, ability to interact with all of the cats and kittens, and it has a great mission. My only regret is my girls didn't push harder to adopt a cat. But when we're ready to adopt again, this is where we'll go.
When we found out there was a cat cafe in Tallahassee on our way to Orlando, we HAD to stop and were definitely not disappointed! When we first walked in, there was a super cute photo area, and the coffee was super good! They even made a cat in the foam! The cat area smelled surprisingly pleasant! I guess I assumed it would smell like cat litter, but I was wrong. The staff was super sweet, and the cats were to die for. I hope I will be able to stop again some time!
I've been to my share of cat cafes, including some in Japan where the trend originated. Tally Cat has a nice cat area. It's spacious and has a lot of toys for the cats. All the cats were adorable and it's great that you can adopt them. The owner told me that they usually do more than 4 adoptions a week. The cafe part of Tally Cat is lacking. There are not many food options and the drinks are limited. I got a cat design in my drink but it didn't exactly come out right. I feel like once this place expands upon the cafe aspect, it would be a really great experience.
Would recommend this to anyone who has had a bad day! Be careful though,y wife and I almost walked out with a new cat to take care of! The coffee is delicious and the moscato I had was great! The staff and the cats make any day brighter!
We just went to this cat cafe and it was a lot of fun . They had some super sweet cats and the staff was nice. Our cat-inspired cappuccino was really cute.
Cutest little café! Everything about this place makes me want to go back. Delicious coffee and amazing presentation (see photos!), friendly staff, and obviously all the benefits of being around and interacting with kitties. Great as a relaxing solo outing or fun date idea. You can also access the café/kitty-viewing-area without the admission fee if you just want a nice place to grab a drink and hangout (they serve alcohol, too!). You can tell the owner puts a lot of thought into this place. Professional photos of their cats cover the walls, wonderful small business to support if you are in the area.
Really cute place! My daughter made reservations for our group of six. The staff is friendly and so are the cats. We were there for about an hour, had our tea or coffee that we purchased and got to play with the cats. Although we went in late afternoon and the kitties all seemed tired and were sleeping most of the time. It's a great place for anyone looking to adopt a cat in Tallahassee area and a great way to support a small business.
Adorable kitties, delicious and artful drinks and cute merch- plus an IG ready wall! What more could you ask for? Adoptable cats! Love that they've saved so many sweet felines since they opened. It's a must see when you visit tally. Make sure you get the Burmese if you're a Nutella lover like me ;*) ***make sure you make a reservation ahead on the weekend
Delicious drinks, friendly staffs and cute kitties! Also a great place for studying! I can sit there for hours and not get distracted at all! If you don't like this place, it is your problem : )
After losing one of my cats unexpectedly, I decided my wife and I needed to visit the tally cat café to help with the grieving process. We decided to get coffee - it was really good. I was actually surprised expecting sort of mediocre hotel coffee but it was on brand for Lucky goat and the espresso was very good. The prices are excellent. The donuts looked really good but we didn't have any. The variety of cats was spectacular! Different ages, different sizes, different looks, different personalities - it was really great, there was something for everyone. My only complaint was that there were two unsupervised children. They were about 12-year-old girls who had no concept of personal space. It really helped us to process our grief and loss. Thank you tally cat café. Highly recommend.

The sweetest place for your cat fix or adoption question. This is a lovely place to hang out and read while enjoying the company of loving feline friends. There's also a lot to choose from in terms of beverages. Pleasant employees who can tell you about the cat and the café. Come visit if you just need some time to relax and unwind surrounded by cat love or to adopt one of these adorable critters. read more

My first time going to a cat cafe and it was a success. The Tally Cat Cafe is a great spot. They have an awesome drink menu and everything is very affordable. They have something for everyone - coffee, teas, hot chocolate, cocktails and more. You can either drink your beverage in the lounge area or bring it in while visiting the cats. But beware, the cats enjoy the drinks and the straws so guard them with your life! The cats themselves were very sweet. They are rescues and up for adoption. The staff is very informative and great at telling you about each kitty. We brought our 3 year old daughter to the cafe and she had a blast. She really enjoyed her hot chocolate and loved all the kitties (don't know if it was always mutual). I would recommend making a reservation in advance because the slots do fill up. It was a really fun hour visit and I would recommend checking them out! read more

Serotonin boosting and caffeine filled experience. All the kitties are adoptables from the Leon county humane society and there are pins, shirts, totes, mugs, stickers etc for sale. Staff was really helpful and informed about the kitties. We even got to see a kitty get adopted!! read more

A bit of a disclaimer before I begin: I do personally know the owner and one of the baristas, but I will as always do my best to remain impartial and unbiased in my review. I have been excitedly anticipating the opening of Tally Cat Cafe for quite some time. The concept of a cat cafe, where one can enjoy coffee or tea while in the company of shelter cats looking for their forever home, is in my mind both novel and refreshing, exactly the sort of establishment missing from the Tallahassee caffeine scene. In a city largely comprised of stressed out college students, a comfortable space to relax while surrounded by potential new furry friends sounds like an ideal place for taking a break from studies. When I later heard that Lucky Goat would be supplying the coffee and training the baristas for this location, I knew I would have to drop by as soon as they opened, as Lucky Goat supplies the best cup of joe in town. I am thrilled that Tally Cat has exceeded my expectations. The staff's commitment to the cats cannot be understated, and though the space doesn't yet have that lived in, homey feel that one typically associates with a good cafe, you can sense the love that went into creating the cat room and crafting the cat-themed menu. The drinks are phenomenal - nothing less than the best Lucky Goat has to offer - and I look forward to trying the 'Russian Blue' next time I swing by; I'm told that it, "...tastes like breakfast in a cup," which sounds dangerously addictive. It's also worth mentioning that the cat room and dining area are both separate and impeccably clean, so one needn't worry about whether the cats have washed their paws. I hope that Tally Cat continues to provide the same excellent customer experience and quality coffee in serving the Tallahassee community for years to come. read more

This is a super cute little place! It was a little hard to find, as it's tucked away in a shopping plaza. They serve a pretty good variety of coffee and tea. They also have a small selection of pastries. The main attraction, however, is the cat playing area. There were several cats inside & they were so fun to watch! The cat room has tons of trees and toys for the cats to play with. They all come from the humane society and are eligible for adoption, which I think is a great concept. It's important to note, however, that it costs $7 per person to go play with the cats for one hour. It's best to book your time slot ahead of time, especially on the weekends, as it gets crowded. My friend & I went on a Friday night & were unable to get in. Nonetheless, we still had a good time watching the cats through the glass. Overall I like the concept & I think this is a great service to provide the cats and the community! read more

I love this place!!! They serve good coffee, and have vegan pastry options! For $7, you can spend an hour in the cat room, and who doesn't love to play with sweet kittens?! All of the cats are also adoptable, and I love that they have helped give so many cats homes. Before Covid, they also hosted all kinds of fun events like cat yoga and movie nights. A cute, fun, quirky place for a date or just to relax and cuddle some kitties!! read more
I just absolutely love this place. I've been but once, and I really admire what they are doing 1) for the cats that are there looking for a loving home and 2) for cat lovers all over Tallahassee. Upon walking in, you notice an enclosed room where the kitties are all kept, and the front area is a seating area where you can look into the separated cat room. Lucky goat coffee is served here along with some great pastry choices!! It is then up to you if you want to bring your food and drink into the cat room. I was just so excited to see the cats that I brought my pastry and drink with me, and ended up leaving them for some time because the cats just took up all of my attention. The Tally Cat Café is very clean and orderly. They provide lint rollers when you get out and hand sanitizers, too. The bathrooms are well kept and tidy. Everyone that was working there was super friendly and chatted to us for some time about the cats. It's obvious that they, too, believe in the mission of the café. read more
