The Cafe Meow
New Hope, Minnesota
The Cafe Meow in New Hope is the second branch of Minnesota's first cat cafe, opened in 2022 on Winnetka Avenue North in the northwestern suburbs of Minneapolis. It is split into two spaces: a coffee shop serving organic, Fair Trade coffee and tea with treats from local bakeries, which anyone can visit, and a separate cat lounge with up to 30 rescue cats. Every cat is adoptable through one of the cafe's local foster-based rescue partners, and adopters apply to the rescue after meeting the cat in the lounge. Lounge time is charged per person per hour and starts on the hour, with lower weekday rates and short Happy Meower visits on weekday afternoons. Booking ahead is recommended, though leftover spots are sold at the counter. Visitors must be 7 or older, with one adult for each child aged 7 to 10. Yoga with cats and painting nights are also held.
