The Cafe Meow
About
The Cafe Meow cat cafe in Roseville, Minnesota, stands as the state's pioneering cat cafe, offering a feline experience dedicated to fostering up to 30 adoptable rescue cats. These wonderful felines await their forever homes in a friendly, separate cat lounge, specifically designed for them to thrive and socialize. Visitors can enjoy comforting cat therapy, with some cats even climbing into laps, in a space that prioritizes their well-being. Entry fees directly support their care, costing $15.75 on weekends or $10.75 during the week to spend time with the cats. The cafe operates under a Minnesota Board of Animal Health License, ensuring ethical care and a safe environment for all residents. The Cafe Meow partners with No Kitties Left Behind for all adoptions, allowing guests to meet potential new family members.
The Cafe Meow thoughtfully separates its spaces, providing a cozy cafe for human refreshments and a distinct cat lounge for feline interaction. Here, guests can enjoy specialty coffee, tea, and locally sourced baked goods, including unique options like the 'Siamese' hazelnut breve, or "nummy" Italian sodas as one guest described. The cafe boasts an actual espresso machine and many choices for coffee drinks, including a "tuxedo mocha." Customers consistently highlight the delicious drinks and the fun, clean, and well-maintained space to interact with playful cats. Friendly and helpful staff, praised for their passion for cats and their well-being, clearly explain guidelines and rules. While appointments are not required to visit the cafe side, booking online is wise to guarantee your time in the cat lounge, as entry is typically allowed at the top of the hour. Walk-ins are welcome for any remaining spots. Beyond casual visits, explore engaging recurring events like Yoga with Cats and Paint Your Cat on Canvas, contributing to their vital mission.
