Get Your Feline Fix at 3 Ohio Cat Cafes

It’s a purr-fect way to start your morning: lounging with a furry friend before grabbing a cup of coffee or a bite to eat in a separate but adjoining area. Cat cafes are popping up across the country, and here’s what these three Ohio spots are serving up.

Kitty Bubble Cafe & Bar | Columbus
Near the Ohio State University campus, this spot serves bubble teas and other drinks with names like Catnip (strawberry matcha latte), Orange Tabby (Thai tea) and Pawty on the Beach (a peach-orange sparkler). Food here spans macarons, mochi doughnuts and mochi waffles shaped like a kitty’s paw. 5568 N. High St., Columbus 43214, kittybubblecafe.com 

Gem City Catfe, Dayton
Located in the St. Anne’s Historic District, this cafe offers a large lineup of drinks from French-press coffee to bubble teas as well as cocktails and wine. Food items include pretzels, bagels, muffins, oatmeal cream pies, banana bread and cake pops. 1513 E. Third St., Dayton 45403, 937/949-9170, gemcitycatfe.com 

Kitty Brew Cat Cafe, Mason
Take your taste buds on a trip at this Cincinnati-area spot with several beverage options including cappuccinos, lattes and Americanos, as well as tea, smoothies and canned drinks. Those looking for a bite to eat can go with one of the sweet baked treats, a bagel or grab-and-go snack options. Kitty Brew Cat Cafe is temporarily closed as they move to their new location. 721 Reading Rd., Mason 45040, 513/701-9001, kittybrew.com
