Cat & Craft Cafe

Nestled in Vista, California, Cat & Craft is North County San Diego’s pioneering cat cafe, blending a craft coffee shop with a haven for adoptable rescue cats. The space is thoughtfully divided into two distinct areas: a cozy coffee shop serving expertly brewed espresso drinks with local Manzanita Roasting Co. beans, house-made cold brew, and fresh pastries, and an 800-square-foot, cage-free Cat Lounge where visitors can mingle with up to 25 foster felines for a modest admission fee. Designed with both human and feline comfort in mind, the lounge features separate ventilation to keep allergies at bay and large windows for coffee-sipping spectators to peek in. Partnering with local rescues like LYFF, Cat & Craft facilitates on-the-spot adoptions, having successfully found homes for hundreds of cats since opening in 2019. It’s a purr-fect spot for coffee lovers and cat enthusiasts alike, fostering community, compassion, and connection one sip and snuggle at a time.
