It was a great experience. Nice and quiet atmosphere, cats were nice and came right up to you, and they seem well cared for. I highly recommend coming up here yourself to see how it is rather than taking the bad reviews’ words for it. My friends and I loved it.

This is a cat Cafe as the name implies. You schedule your time and sign a waiver right online. You can pay that way too or you can walk in but you may have to wait for your scheduled time if busy. We were early for ours but got right in. Barista brought our drinks and we got to sit and interact with the cats. They are up for adoption too! Ton of fun. Will definitely be back. Should definitely check it out.

I came with my sister today and it was so cute. The employee was extremely sweet and we felt bad for her she had to deal with a really rude family. Like why are you here with 10 kids knowing they won’t behave. Excluding that it was amazing and the matcha is to die for

I wanted to love this place but after seeing how terrified the cats were because of all the screaming children, I couldn’t help but feel sad for them. The worker in the room was trying her best to get the kids to quiet down and be gentle with them, but the parents were not parenting as they should have been. I think this should be an only kids 12 and older thing for the safety and sanity of these poor cats. These are living beings that are sensitive to noise and have boundaries of their own. I feel the customers are not considering this when dumping their children there and letting them run wild. Not only were they visibly irritated and trying to hide from these kids, almost all of the long haired cats had mats in their fur. I have a specialty cat myself and they require a lot of care for their fur. I love cats, and I want to see this business be successful but I care more about the animal’s wellbeing than getting photo opps with them. I got one cat photo before the loud children came in and they started hiding. Please consider raising the age limit or offering a quick educational session before allowing children to interact with them!

I love this place more than anything, but the music is horribly loud with the hard floors. It is an echo chamber and way too loud. I can’t imagine the older cats like it either because my senior kitty hates loud music and noises. Cats are so sensitive. Please turn it down because it breaks my heart to think the older unadoptable Scottish folds and other cats you have there need to live with such loud music every day. It would be one thing if it were fully carpeted with frequency absorption on the walls, but I’m too sensitive for the loud environment, and I worry the beautiful cats you have there wish it were quieter as well.

5 stars for Malu Cat Cafe, owner and the staff, especially Lacey, is very kind and helpful.
However, my review will go in detail about our experience with the 3rd party BBR org (Bottle Babies Rescue) for cat adoption. So for you people that have high hopes, I wish you luck. Not claiming this would be also your experience but feel free to write your own review.
TIMELINE
-Sep 12 we went here and fell in love with Felix. He CHOSE us and approached us. He climbed on my shoulder on his own and started purring
-Sep 17 We applied on the petstablished website and chose a random cat as none of the adoptable kittens in the Cafe are in the website. They were “on hold” due to something, like eye infection going on
We then visited him 1x a week for the NEXT 6 WEEKS
-Oct 11 they were out of hold and I changed the pet in my original application to Felix
Somewhere in between, we were told that Felix needs another cat so either we adopt 2 or we should already have another cat. NOWHERE on Felix’s paper said he had that requirement. He didn’t have the * on his paper like some cats do which meant you needed to adopt as a pair
We let them know we will be taking ownership of my MIL’s cat soon since she’s in the middle of moving.
-Oct 17 we reapplied completely per Laceys suggestion. Felix was the ONLY one left who was not adopted yet out of the kittens that were out of hold… Clearly at this point, the org lady was just looking/waiting for someone else besides us for some reason
-Oct 18 we were told by Lacey (never heard from the org/adoption agency) that we need to fill out vet info. So we got the cat to the vet to get fully updated on vaccines etc. All results are good no issues. Emailed the info right away.
-Oct 21 I emailed BBR because we’re worried we haven’t heard anything official from them, the ONLY news/updates we get is from the cat cafe.
CHECK PICS and tell me that response was kinda rude and she was annoyed. Also if they were busy why did they take on 9 MORE kittens?? We saw them at the café while Felix is still there
-Oct 30 we heard from cat cafe that Felix has been adopted the day before…. We’re so sad, but kind of expected it.
Our biggest thing is COMMUNICATION sucked so bad on BBR’s end. We NEVER got any news even after Felix was already adopted. Clearly in her email if you check out the pics, she says “if another applicant is approved, you will receive an email alerting you that he has been adopted”. Well that did NOT happen.
I’ve checked daily on the application website, my email etc, and nothing. Just basically ghosted. We don’t care as much if we were not picked. But LET US KNOW and just deny our application or something. At this point we’re going to look for another place and hope the process and experience is way better. We don’t feel comfortable trying for another kitten because we’ll be dealing with the same org lady.
To the Cat Cafe OWNER – – – I would suggest you find a better org to partner with. You seemed really nice when we saw you once and I know the whole adoption decision is out of your hands but the café should have a say I would think on who would be great adopters. Especially when we heard multiple other people did the same thing we did and visit cats they were interested in adopting for weeks. We had a great time with the cats and Felix especially but we spent triple the adoption fee going there weekly…
In the end we’re super heart broken we basically didn’t even have a chance. It was all up to 1 org lady that NEVER met/talked to us. I called the vet multiple times and no one ever called to verify our other cats info or her status, temperament etc. Also very weird she thinks a 6yr old cat is old.
I totally get they are volunteer ran, but she doesn’t get to make that excuse when a) there was like 5+ cats that got adopted besides Felix in 3 days after they were out of hold and b) ok so why take on 9 more kittens when you clearly can’t even handle the load?

Very cute and clean place . Staff are friendly and the cats are so sweet and adorable. I have visited a handful of times and will definitely be back !

Great place to come at the end of a long week to relax! The cafe drinks are great and a nice bonus to hanging out with the cats. The staff is amazing! Shoutout Lacey, she is very passionate about the kitties and will let you know everything you need to know about each cat! The non resident cats come from a shelter and you can adopt them while you meet them! Love this place and will be visiting again.

So 1st I just have to say they did a great job on this place, it looks really nice. What a great idea. All the cats are gorgeous and very unique options. Super fun and friendly. The cafe girl was super sweet. We paid for an hour for 5 people which was I think $12 a piece and $7 for half hour. Didn’t expect that but its a good cause. So its worth it.
The cats LOVED playing with the kids. They almost had more fun than the kids. (8, 9, and 10) Almost every cat got involved playing the while time we were there.
My only 2 minor gripes were a lot of the cats had eye infections….. they need to be treated immediately. Other than that they were well groomed and very interactive.
And my other minor gripe is the guy staff working in the cat room kept harping on the kids playing with the cats “dont do that, dont move to fast” etc.. when the cats were really enjoying them and having fun cuz they were playing with them with all the toys. It was nice to see even the fat old cats playing.. I know he was just doing his job, probably just looking out for the cats but it felt like he was more annoyed at the noise with the toys.. so not a deal breaker just a noted mention.. I can see how they would need to keep control over kids being in there it could get dangerous and stressful for the cats! I know some kids might not be as well behaved l, so rules are good! And we respect them.. just relax a little and let the cats and kids have fun IFFFF they aren’t doing anything wrong. =^.^=
Lol we over all had a really nice time. We will def go back.

Very disappointed with my visit. The hostess told us we needed a reservation, but right after that, she let a white couple walk in without asking them for one. It felt unfair and unprofessional. We won’t be coming back.
