A Sanctuary Cafe

We had hot drinks and a butter croissant and sat up front just watching the cats from a distance, which still adds a nice feeling. They have a great selection of books on cats and other nature topics. They will serve hot drinks in real ceramic cups if you ask, a nice feature, and they compost! My one complaint was my extra hot latte was not.

All the cats here are super healthy, friendly, and clearly well-loved♡ $40 / hour (includes $10 café credit) easily book online. Totally worth it! Don’t forget to try their cat-shaped macarons! Just a heads-up: no picking up the cats, no flash, and no feeding : )

There are 3 separate aspects of this cat cafe (cat lounge, cafe, bookstore) and each requires a separate review. * cat lounge: The core service of this business.

Despite the limited room, they allow multiple groups in per session. During our visit, there were around eight people in the area with us, not including staff (with staff there were 13) making it difficult to move around without tripping over items on the floor. For the price we paid ($87 for two people), I expected a much more comfortable and engaging environment. The biggest issue, however, was the staff. From the moment we entered th

Great place for a cup of tea and relax. My 2 years old couldn’t go into the cat area, but had fun in the observation cafe. It can get pretty busy. One of the cat did look stressed out more than others. I appreciate this store for what they are doing. It can be a challenge in Boston.
