The Cat Cafe

The Cat Café is Southern California’s first cat café and a beloved haven for feline enthusiasts since opening in January 2015. This cozy spot combines award-winning, locally roasted coffee from Café Virtuoso with the company of friendly, adoptable cats from The Rescue House, creating a unique experience where visitors can sip delicious drinks, enjoy pastries from Bread & Cie, and cuddle with potential furry companions. The café features a thoughtfully designed space with a separated cat playpen—complying with US food service regulations—where guests can relax, attend yoga sessions like "Cats on Mats," or simply unwind with the cats. With a mission to find forever homes for its feline residents, The Cat Café offers a welcoming atmosphere for coffee lovers and cat adopters alike, complete with a menu of local treats and a photo-worthy giant cat mural, making it a purr-fect destination in America’s Finest City.
