The Pawffee Shop Cat Cafe - Appleton

Coffee and cats, what's not to like! We've been to a few cat cafes, all over the country, and this one had some of the best coffee ever! The setup was different from past ones we visited, one entrance is the actual coffee house, with a few seats and merchandise, and then the entrance to the right is the cat area. There are windows between both sites, and if you purchase a coffee or item from the coffee house, you get into the cat area at no cost. If you choose just to visit the cat area, it's only a $3 donation per person. Which is incredibly reasonable! You are allowed to contribute more, which is for a great cause. Ended up getting the tuxedo mocha which was delicious, and my spouse got one of the specials iced. Both were very good. There were a few items of baked goods as well, the brownies looked delicious! The person working then the register was very welcoming, and helpful. He seemed to really enjoy his job and have a passion for being there. The cat room is pretty much one area, there were a few small areas in the back, one that was open to an a senior kitty who was 21 years old, and another that was closed off to a kitty that was getting acclimated to the area. We met about five kitties, all different personalities. They were fun to sit and play with for a while. There were a few families visiting, with kids with various ages. The place was very clean, there was seating, and many toys to play with the cats. There were a few employees working, and they were welcoming and helpful as well. Would recommend if you were looking to just get a good coffee, or if you're looking to visit with the kitties or even find a special cat friend.

Coffee was spot on. Went with my ten year old, she had a blast visiting with the cats. Very cool concept. Very friendly staff!

Attendants are very knowledgeable about their processes and are warm and friendly. They care about those kittahs and it shows. The adoption process is more complex considering that it must be done via browser (take note; that process is chalked on the wall in the entrance foyer), however the space here doesn't allow for much admin and is dedicated to the good treatment of fur babies, and so is right and good. Very clean and healthy space. Spoiler alert, they are also one of the two best places in Appleton for an amazing cup of coffee. Full marks.

One of my favorite places! The coffee is wonderful and I get to spend time with adoptable kitties. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable.

Great way to unwind, very therapeutic! Grab a cup of coffee (bakery sweets available too) and go hang out with cats! Cats are adoptable so they'll change out each time you come. I always leave happier than I came! Donations accepted to help with care.
