Reviews for Alley Cat Cafe in Ithaca, NY
I loved it here! The cafe had really good calm vibes and the food and drinks were nice, and the cats (my favorite part) were... really cute and fun :) the staff was also very nice Read more
So much joy!! Friendly staff. Loved petting the kittens, they?re very sweet and a smart idea to have two energy-level rooms to... choose from. Reasonable prices as well and good drinks. They have a clear mission and I feel very good supporting them! Read more
The very definition of vibes, the low energy room is nice and chill your going to have to work for the cats to play with you. If... you go to the high energy room, you won't be disappointed either. Aside from the cats which is priced at $5 per 30 minutes, thecafé itself offers a variety of baked goods and hot or cold beverages, that are worth the price for an stay. Read more
This was my first time going to a cat cafe, so I suppose I had high expectations which may have affected my experience. Our... visit was just okay. The food (Jaguar) and drinks (Cat Lady and Dirty Chai) weren't spectacular. I'd give 3.5 stars if I couldin the optimism that this was an off day, but this is what I didn't like. First, there was clutter. There seemed to be piles ofrandom stuff (not merchandise) here and there both in the restaurant area and in the seating areas. A mop and bucket should notbe visible to customers unless actively being used... and it shouldn't ever be propped up near a food counter. The big, grungysink/drain directly behind the counter should not be visible either. Guys, just put a tapestry, screen, poster, whatever. What Idid like was the vibe. I liked the local artists on display. It was a chill place to come get some laptop work done, enjoy yourcoffee, or visit some cats! Read more
This is a must visit place. Great vibes and ambiance. Variety of coffee and tea selections. If you are into Cats - spend time... with for $ 5 for 30 mins. Make sure you reserve a time they get booked very fast. The cats are amazing even though I?m not intoCats ! Beautiful place in a nice corner. Read more
What a great little cafe! You can socialize and adopt cats and kittens while enjoying a great cup of coffee or some snacks, or... even lunch. Such a caring staff and group of volunteers. Read more
Okay, this place is 5 stars to the power of 12 because cats!, but I could only choose 5 stars. The food, drinks, and atmosphere... are decent, but let's be honest you're here for the cats. And they are the stars. They shine in the two rooms, one for calmerand one for more lively. They have a range of ages and so many are excited to see you. One kitten even rested on me! Of coursethere are some real characters, like one who constany hogs a bean bag and looks dead if you don't watch it breathe. Anotherdoesn't give a darn about anything except the window. Hope you visit these royal babies! Read more
Pistachio latte was amazing. They had a nice selection of drinks and the cats were adorable. $5 for 30 min with them.
