Espurresso Cat Cafe
Lawrence, Kansas
Espurresso Cat Cafe is a coffee shop on Massachusetts Street in downtown Lawrence, a few blocks from South Park and the University of Kansas campus. Opened in July 2023 as Lawrence's first cat cafe, it serves locally roasted coffee, tea and baked goods made in-house, with vegan options daily. The adoptable cats and kittens come from the Lawrence Humane Society and live in the Purrlor, a plexiglass-walled enclosure with its own ventilation, so the cafe itself is comfortable for people with allergies and the bar seating looks straight in. Purrlor visits are paid by the half hour or hour, with reservations encouraged on weekends and walk-ins welcome when slots are free; only seven guests are inside at a time, and each adult may bring up to two children. Adoptions can be completed on the spot, and the fees go to the humane society.
