“ An absolute treat to get to spend an hour with the kitties at The Region Cat Cafe. The staff was wonderful and kind. We appreciated their help and kindness. The kitties were fun and playful. Some snoozing but what a great way to get your kitty fix. ”
“ A hidden gem in NWI! So many sweet cats, all of which are available for adoption. They have lots of cute cat trinkets, mugs, tees, and other novelty items! A HUGE drink and food menu that will be sure to fill your tummy and quench your thirst! My kids and I will absolutely be back. ”
“ What an adorable place! Everywhere you look is cat themed sayings on the wall or cat decor on the tables... but so well put together and not tacky! I want to try every drink and every food item because it all sounds delicious. (Nutty pumpkin latte? Yes please!) Upstairs you can view the cats from a birds eye view and play cat themed games or look through cat themed books. If you want to pet the kitties it's 11/pp and is for 50 minutes with entry at the top of the hour (10 ppl at a time). We'll definitely be back for that sometime. So glad we got to come visit. We were out this way and happen to be looking for a place to sit down for a cup of coffee. Wish Google would include them when searching coffee though... it doesn't come up and is the best in the area for a great cup of joe! ”
“ We had a bite to eat upstairs while watching the cats play and then when we were done we went and played with the cats which was amazing. The staff was so friendly and the place is so cool and to top it off they have really cool merchandise! Will definitely be coming back. ”
“ This is a great way to get to meet the adoption cats. Great little place staff is very friendly, so we're the cats and kittens if you recently lost your fur family member. This is a place where you can meet the cat or cats and play with them. Lunch was good. I highly recommend stopping by it will ease the loss of your fur family member, but also comfort you in adopting the next fur family member to make new memories with. Stop in ”
“ This is my favorite cat cafe I have ever been to! They had a lot of cats, but the place smelled great and was very clean. They had lots of fun and silly merchandise, and the cats themselves were wonderful!! Very well-behaved, sweet, silly, and just an all-around great time! ”
“ Well this is the cutest place ever are you kidding me!? The staff is so friendly and accommodating. The lemon rice soup is fantastic and the lattes are great too. I will absolutely be back here often. I didn't go into the cat room today, just observed from the loft while I work but even that was just so fun. I highly recommend a visit. ”
