Papa’s Cat Café - Columbia

The cats were great! I got some basic drip coffee. I loved giving lots of scritches. The staff was very

The coffee was delicious and the kitties were so cute, one of them came and laid in my lap and started purring. I enjoyed my visit very much and I can't wait to go again.

We drove two hours to meet a friend who lives across state and Columbia is in the middle for both of us. Both our kids love cats and we thought his would be a great place to visit. There was some mix up with the reservation and instead of them being understanding they just told us to leave.l and then even still charged my friend! We went somewhere else after having to google because neither of us know Columbia and the restaurant we ended up at confirmed they have heard a lot of stories that the workers here are rude. So I just want to leave this review to warn people be prepared for rude treatment and lack of empathy.

Not really a place for food though they do have a little. Mostly this place is for you to hang out with cats. It's great! There are always new kitties and there are always ones that will come up to you for pets or play with the toys around.

Went on a Friday morning as a walk- in. Thankfully they had room for us! (I recommend making reservations to make sure you can get in at the time you want since it seems this place is popular)The fee for entering the cat portion of the cat Cafe was reasonable and we stayed for 1 hour. There were around 10 cats in the main area of the cat Cafe and plenty of toys, ramps, and hiding places for them to play with. When I went, lots of the cats were in a playful mood and went Berserk with the feather wand. The cats in the main area were not shy at all, and many of them came up to sniff and demand pets. There was a separate room that you could go in (with the worker's permission) where they keep the new additions to the cat Cafe and other cats who are still very shy. These ones weren't very willing to play, but they also weren't hostile.This place is very kid friendly. There was a family of 4 when I went and the toddler was having a blast playing with the cats. Even the baby in the mother's arm seemed to enjoy watching the cats from a distance. At one point, a cat climbed onto a table nearby and sniffed the baby's face. It was a very friendly and cute interaction to watch.The food itself was pretty good. I had the Chai latte and Lengua de Gato (long crispy cookies with melted chocolate dipping sauce). They were both pretty good, and the chai latte was the perfect level of sweetness :)If you don't want to pay the extra entrance fee to enter the cat Cafe, there is a small bar stool area that has a large window overlooking the cat play area.Overall, an amazing place to visit if you're a cat lover. The worker's and cats are very friendly and you can tell the owners really care about the well being of the cats. As an added bonus, the cats are available for adoption!Kid-friendliness: Cats are very friendly and open to playing with younger children.
