Blue Cat Cafe - Austin

I love this place. It's like the Mother Ship has called me home. It is exactly what it promises to be; a Cafe that serves Vegan options, a wacky and eclectic vibe, and -of course- cats! It's a kitschy spot that has cats to interact with and to adopt. It's worth the $5 admittance per person. In short, it's a place where the cats tolerate your existence. Total Catisfaction guaranteed! If you are in Austin, I recommend for sure.

This was a cool experience, the cats were hilarious and fun to play with. They seemed well taken care of and happy. The service was very slow (waited over :30 for a chai tea) but playing with the kittens was fun! Not a great place to study if you are easily distracted by cats.

Ok, so 4 stars because if you love cats like me it's awesome to just go pet a by of them. However, the place opened up late (after 11am which is opening time and I know from reviews it's happened before. Luckily we waited because someone else said something in their review. There wasn't any food because they are remodeling, but there was soda and coffee if needed. It was just a little unorganized so we didn't get anything. There's a $5 cover charge when you leave, which we were told about before we went in. Cats can be pet, but not held. I believe they are all declawed. Please please please, if you bring your kids don't let them shove cat toys into the cats face... some of the older cats aren't into playing, and kids need to be told to be gentle with then. Otherwise I believe this place is good for any age group. I was very happy to experience someone adopting one of them too so hopefully that kitty went to a good home:

Made the trip here from Fort Worth all because my daughter loves cats. It was all she expected to be. Its a great place to come and relax with cats. The menu is vegan and its delicious. Owners are amazing people.

This is a fantastic spot for lunch, especially if you enjoy spending time with friendly cats! We ended up adopting a cat from there, and she has been amazing. She adjusted to her new home quickly and has a wonderful personality, being very social and welcoming to visitors. Whenever we have friends over, she's always the first to greet them and loves being petted! We wouldn't hesitate to adopt another cat from Blue Cat!
