Santa Clara, California
Nabi Cat Cafe is a Korean-inspired cat cafe on The Alameda in Santa Clara, near Santa Clara University. Opened in 2025 by sisters-in-law Christine Hedeen and Ailee Kim, it has a walk-in cafe counter serving specialty lattes, Jeju matcha, fruit ades and pastries from local bakeries, and a separate two-level cat lounge with eight to twelve adoptable cats from the rescues Scritch Kittens and Kitten Rescue 101. Lounge passes last one hour and include a cafe drink, which may be taken inside; two-hour passes are sold on some weekdays. Reservations are strongly recommended because only eight guests are admitted per hour. Children five and older are welcome with one adult for every two children aged 12 and under, and guests wear shoe covers. Adoptions go through the partner rescue's application and interview. Wifi, workshops, memberships and private events are offered. Nabi is the Korean word for butterfly.
