Nabi Cat Café, located at 2255 The Alameda in Santa Clara, California, is the Bay Area’s first Korean-inspired cat café, blending a passion for rescue cats with a cozy, cultural twist. Founded by sisters-in-law Christine Hedeen and Ailee Kim, this charming spot opened its doors on March 18, 2025, after a successful Kickstarter campaign, offering a haven where visitors can sip Korean-inspired drinks like tiramisu lattes and cotton candy-ade, munch on waffles and pastries from local bakeries, and interact with adoptable cats in a relaxing lounge. Partnering with Town Cats and San Jose Animal Care Center, Nabi—meaning "butterfly" in Korean, a nod to street cats—aims to ease shelter overcrowding by fostering and finding forever homes for its feline residents, all while providing a calming escape for guests. Operating on a timed-entry system (one hour with a complimentary drink included), the café runs from around 8 or 9 AM to 6 or 7 PM, with student discounts available and a vibrant atmosphere enriched by the founders’ Korean heritage, making it a unique destination for cat lovers and coffee enthusiasts alike in the heart of Santa Clara.
