Took an embroideries class here one night and it was so much fun! Staff was super friendly, coffee was great, & the cats were adorable. Would totally go to another one in the future!! read more

Yesterday I took my cat obsessed teenage daughter to The Caffeinated Cat Cafe in Grover Beach, and it honestly could not have been a better experience. The location is super cute, warm, and inviting from the moment you walk in. This was our first ever visit, and their website did a great job clearly explaining how everything works. We made a reservation, paid $16 each for a 50 minute visit, and it was absolutely worth it. Kayla, who was working the front desk, was friendly, helpful, and welcoming, which made the experience even better. We started in the kitten room, and the time flew by so fast that we never even made it to the adult cat area. The kittens were incredibly playful, social, and engaged, and it was very clear they are being well cared for. If you love cats, enjoy good and inexpensive coffee drinks, and want to support a local business with a great mission, I highly recommend checking this place out. It was such a fun and memorable experience for my daughter and me, and we will absolutely be back. read more

Such a cute place and experience for my niece. We were instantly welcomed upon arrival and got to see all the adorable kittens for adoption. They also served coffee and packaged snacks to enjoy while hanging out w the cats. Their gift shop had lots of cute cat stickers and little trinkets. Definitely I'd return if I was looking for a cat to adopt , such a great cause while getting a yummy caffeine fix!! read more

Love this place and the fact that I get to hang out with adoptable cats and kittens. It truly is reasonable to charge for the opportunity. The fee goes to support feeding the cats, litter, rent, electric and water bill and all the other bills that we experience in our own daily life. I've been coming here since it opened in Dec 2024 and I will keep coming. Great workers who care about the cats and the people who come and visit. read more

This was a super fun experience! My daughters especially enjoyed the kittens. I think the defuser was a great touch on the kitty side and something missing on the adult cat side. The staff were so friendly and the cats all seemed to really be living their best lives! read more

this is the best cat cafe I have been to so far. The cats were so happy (who wouldn't be with that catio!?) and the vibes were immaculate. The cool ocean breeze on the catio while the cats played/napped, it was awesome. I also really loved all the cat related goodies in the store but had to restrain myself lest I go buy too much. read more

Such a cute spot to just sit and relax with kitties! It can be quiet but can also be a little rowdy depending on the moods of the cats or activities you choose to do. There are plenty of events happening throughout each month to do with the cats as a single, couple or group! Highly recommend visiting and supporting their advocacy in helping to get these cats adopted asap! The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful with all the questions you may have. Plenty of drinks and snacks to choose from to enjoy before going in the cat room or in the cat room. SHOES OFF when stepping into the cat room btw. They have socks available to use if that makes it more comfortable for you as well. I love this place and it took a long time to kickstart this program and building so I'm so glad that it's up and running and doing so well. Keep supporting local! read more

They turned my two year old away after him having been there three times already and they said "no children under 4" even though it's be his fourth visit. The inconsistency is ridiculous and it sucks to hype up your child for the cats and then be turned away. In response to the owner commenting: my child had gone in at 6 months, 9 months and 1.5 years. There was no attempt at being dishonest about his age and there was no mention or signage at the times of visiting. You could just apologize for the inconvenience and the misunderstanding and be more consistent with your rules in the future so situations like this don't occur. read more

The cats are great, the staff - not so much. At least my dollars went to a solid cause despite the vibes being off. Don't worry though, the cats brings the vibes all day. read more

I was so excited to hear that the Central Coast/SLO County finally has an amazing spot like The Caffeinated Cat Cafe! This adorable place offers delicious coffee, a variety of drinks, and snacks, while giving you the chance to spend time with adorable, adoptable cats. The cats have a spacious, enclosed play area filled with toys, climbing trees, and plenty of cozy nooks. This place makes for such a fun and relaxing experience for both the cats and visitors. It is a wonderful place to unwind, support a great cause, and maybe even meet your new furry friend. I can't wait to come back, and bring friends along!! read more

Fun session playing with sweet kitty cats! Sign up online to reserve your spot--they only let up to 8 people in at a time so the cats don't get overwhelmed. They do have regular coffee and snacks and a few pastries, but I wouldn't count on eating breakfast there. You're really there to play with the kitties! And you can adopt them too! Definitely a fun time! read more

What a fun experience! However, if you are looking to adopted a cat, do not simply ask "are your cats available for adoption?" Like I did. Because then you and your daughter fall in love with a cat and then make an inquiring to adopt one, you are told there is a two cat minimum. This information would have been great to know when I asked my original question. read more

We had a great morning at the caffeinated cat Café. The people working there were very sweet and kind and super helpful. We made a reservation ahead of time and we were the only ones there. The facility was exceptionally clean. Three out of four of us had cat allergies and it was so clean that none of our allergies kicked in. The facility has two rooms. One room for adult cats and one room for kittens. It was fun being in each of the rooms for different reasons. They had a senior old man cat that was so sweet and then they had brand new kittens as well. You can't pick up the adult cats, but you can pick up the kittens. You can pet the old cats and they can sit in your lap if they come to you. We went at 10 AM and it was perfect. The cats were awake and playful. We read online that if you go later in the afternoon sometimes the cats are all asleep. We ordered a couple of coffees and those were also really good. We had a great time and a great experience with our young nieces. Highly recommend read more

Have been to other cat cafes. This was the cleanest one I've been to. The cats were loving and engaged. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Plenty of treats and drinks and gifts to shop before you go in. Didn't smell wasn't dirty. My daughter loved it and didn't want to leave. Would come back and have already started recommending to friends. Ty read more

This place gets 5 stars just for the idea. (Cats and Coffee). We walked in to a nicely decorated coffee shop to check this new place out. We were greeted by a very friendly person behind the desk. All the reservations were taken up so make sure to reserve your spot online. You can walk-in if all reservations are not filled. You can come in and pay for a coffee and drink coffee if there is a seat available in the lobby. Watching through the glass is free with purchase. The coffee drinking/viewing area only has a couple tables and is quite small but it works. In order to socialize with the cats in the cat room you will pay an admission fee. The fee is to help with the cost of the care for the cats. There were about 6 cats there at the time. All cats are adoptable so they had just lost a few due to adoptions. They do plan on getting more. Admission $18 13 yr old $15 2-12 yr old Come check out this new cat coffee shop in Grover Beach. read more

We were on a road trip driving through Pismo Beach and happened to spot the Caffeinated Cat Cafe- deciding to stop in on a whim. It ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The owner who checked us in was kind, fun, and welcoming right from the start. The space is thoughtfully set up, with one side for older cats and another for younger ones, and we loved getting to spend time in both areas during our hour visit. The cats are clearly well cared for, relaxed, and loved. There are tons of toys, climbing structures, and enrichment, plus a little Rolodex-style menu with info about each cat's personality, which was such a sweet touch. We were really missing our own animals while traveling, and being able to unwind and love on these sweet rescue kitties was exactly what we didn't know we needed. It's also wonderful to see that all of the cats are up for adoption, making this not just a fun stop, but a meaningful one too. My only suggestion would be to have a larger selection of drinks or snacks for visitors to purchase- but that truly is a tiny detail. Highly recommend to anyone looking to relax, recharge, and spend time with some truly special cats. read more

Had such a lovely time with the kitties here at the Caffeinated Cat Cafe! :) Very clean, cute cat merch, kind employees, tasty drinks, and very sweet cats :) read more

Spend a Purr-fect day in Grover Beach at this cat cafe! The employees were so friendly and truly cared about the cats they are fostering. There are two rooms of cats. One with kittens and one with older cats. All were so sweet and loved the attention. The cat rooms are beautifully decorated and well cleaned. Our hour flew by but we will definitely return on our next vacation. The gift shop is stocked with boutique items. There is a generous selection of beverages for purchase, including kids' juice and milk. Admission is very reasonable compared to other cat cafes. We can't wait to visit again! read more

I LOVED this cat cafe, the people working were so sweet and friendly, you can tell the cats/kittens are very loved here. If I could stay here all day I would! I've been to a couple cat cafes and I will be coming back to this cat cafe every time I'm in town read more

I have mixed reviews on this place pertaining to bringing young kids. I'll start with the positives. Lots of parking! That was a pleasant surprise and so important for businesses. Second, it was extremely clean like sparkling clean. I was surprised how clean it even smelt with having cats in there 24/7. Lots of cute cat items to buy and the food and drinks looked super yummy. With that being said I reserved a spot for my 2 year old, 4 year old and myself. For 30 minutes it was $39. I understand businesses need to make money but most places wouldn't charge for a 2 year old. There were only 4 cats and only one came out briefly 5 minutes max. You can't pick up the cats and you're told to just let them come to you. We tried to be respectful of that rule but I honestly just felt like I paid $40 to sit in there and tell my kids not to go up to the cats. There was a worker sitting in the room the whole time and I felt like it would have been nice if she would have tried to get the cats to come down and interact, told us their names, or even what toys they might like. The only thing she told us was to give the cats some space. We found some coloring books, which I had to ask if those were for customers. Again we only had 30 minutes so I felt like with kids that should have been something we were told when entering. We got to go with the owner to see the cats in the other building. That was very nice and she told us we could pet them which they did so we ended on a good note. I might come again with just my 4 year old and give it another chance. There are limited times for young kids and I'm guessing we came at a sleepy time but I was just hoping to have a little more interaction with the cats, especially with these cats being up for adoption. read more

After being displaced by the Palisades Fire we were grateful to find an Airbnb in town to gather ourselves. I accidentally stumbled upon the CCC while searching for somewhere to connect WiFi.

Ps- you can further support their work by purchasing merch and treats! read more

Great experience. It is so cute and clean. The cats are so well taken care of. We felt welcomed by the staff.

This was a great new experience to do with my two kids (ages 10 and 7) and felt so great giving some kitties some extra love for a good cause, while seeing all the different personalities of the cats. It really was a great learning experience with teaching young children to be patient and calm to gain an animal's trust. There is an adorable gift section and quick drinks to grab before heading in. People should remember that these are cats and foster cats to be specific. Don't expect them to be super cuddly and frisky on cue to entertain you and they due take a few minutes to warm up. But they are all adorable and they have a variety of toys that you can tell the cats enjoy and makes it easier for you to interact with them. read more

Overall odd experience. I walked in and mentioned I was waiting for my husband. They informed me it would be $13 for 30 minutes and $16 for 50 minutes. It was our first time at this establishment so I asked more information and they explained that it is to pay for rent and cat supplies. That was fine with me, so when my husband came in they asked us if we would be paying together to which I said "is it per person?" as that was not explained when I asked for more information. After paying $26 just to look at the kittens, they told us we needed to wait to because it was to busy. We had just payed to see that cats and kittens, then were not allowed to use our paid minutes to see what we had drove 30 minutes to see. Odd? They then asked us to take off our shoes. Again, I didn't care so much until we walked in and the floor was extremely dirty. I am not sure why we would be asked to take our shoes off if the reason wasn't to keep the area sanitary. While we waited to play with the kittens we met some of the adult cats. Most were timid and scared. When we got to play with the kittens we fell in love with an orange cat that we had driven to specifically meet. After asking about adopting they let us know it was $175 for the two orange kittens and we could not adopt just one as they are brothers. I 100% understand this, other than the fact their website said it was not mandatory to adopt both. Super uncomfortable and confusing experience. -Jared's wife lol read more

Thirteen bucks to pet a cat. Of course she doesn't tell me that until AFTER I buy a drink, food, and leave her a tip. I felt tricked.

I am a total cat lady and I was so excited to hear about the new cat cafe. The kitties were super sweet & they have an adorable cat themed gift shop! Love that we have a place like this in Grover. read more

If you love cats, be sure to not miss The Caffinated Cat Cafe! It's a great space to meet and hang out with kitties looking for their forever homes. The cat room is clean, light, and open.

They have fun special events such as movie night, yoga, and crafts. Make sure to book a reservation. They fill up quickly, especially on the weekends and their special events. read more

It was our first visit but we will be back to support and a unique thing to do for Valentine's Day. We have many kitties already so weren't looking to adopt but can spend money and spread the word! Our friend we took with us DID adopt a bonded sister pair however. Cozy and fun to enjoy some kitty snuggles and playtime and help with socializing. It would be a great place to bring a book and sip on a warm drink. read more

Had an enjoyable experience viewing the cats. Was frustrated that I could not pick up or really touch a cat unless it was beside me or I went to pet it. The visits are well organized and overseen by an attendant in the room. One troubling aspect was that one of the cats that was up for adoption was coughing the whole time I was there. I felt so bad for the cat and asked the owner and she said the cat had been seen by a vet and was on the road to recovery. However, it coughed and seemed sick. Did not think this this cat belonged with others or with the human being in this room. Please just keep healthy cats there. read more

I decided to visit have some coffee and check out the cute kitties. I walked inside and headed over to a comfy chair to sit down and enjoy my coffee. Withen 30 seconds a beautiful little girl kitties came over to me and started rubbing up against my calf. Then she proceeded to jump in my chair go aroundy back and then settle herself at home in my lap. I adopted her the next day. After one month she now the queen of the manor. It's like we have been friends for years. So check out this place but beware...you may end up with a best friend. Ron read more

Such a welcoming vibe and staff, the cats were all friendly, especially the kittens! Definitely coming again

Loved our experience here! The self service coffee and beverage bar had a great selection, as did the snacks and pastries. We enjoyed hanging out with the cats and getting some play time with the many wands and toys available. The room was extremely clean and had air purifiers. I like that they limit the number of people so everyone has space and to not overwhelm the cats. There is also an area for the cats to escape to when they were done socializing which I appreciated as well. You can tell this cafe is run with all the right intentions to the cats and cat lovers. Overall, a wonderful experience if you're looking to adopt or just want to relax with a cat buddy on your lap. We'll definitely be back. read more
