Reviews
This is a secure, accessible, and friendly cat cafe with excellent management, cat-centered protocols, and opportunities for adoption. There’s also a nifty-gifty shop up front with fun clothes, kid-friendly products, and pleasant hand-crafted products.
It’s good to make an appointment first, as it’s a busy and popular spot. A half-hour session with the cats is $7 per person. The cat room is full of kittens and cats of all kinds, and a few other cat lovers who are generally pretty gentle and friendly. We had a blast and almost adopted a cat even though we have five already (!).
I can’t say enough about the responsible, approachable, and knowledgeable staff on site. We learned they placed over 700 cats with families over the last five years.
We really wish we lived closer to this fun and friendly cat world.
10/10 would recommend coming here either to hang out with friends, on a date or to get a cat! I live relatively close by so I come somewhat frequently. It’s basically a room with ~10 cats that want to play and be pet, what more can you want? I got my one cat penny from here and she is a great cat.
I’m a cat lady through and through, so I have very high standards for how they’re cared for. It’s clear that Black Cat Market is motivated by a deep love and respect for cats, and not by profit. …
Beautiful little spot to visit with sweet kitties. I’ve been in a few times and the staff is always friendly and very knowledgeable about the different temperaments of the cats, and of course the cats themselves are 12/10, excellent at …
I was disappointed there was no "cafe" in this cat cafe. Ultimately we were there mostly to pet and play with kitties, but we also chose to go at a time where we would have normally had an afternoon drink or snack, so it was disappointing. …
This cat cafe is amazing! I visited 4 years ago and I haven’t stopped thinking about since. I recently visited two days ago and they added so much more to the place! These cats are so loved and taken such good care of! You HAVE to visit!
Such a pleasant experience! The staff member is friendly and approachable and made our visit welcoming. Not only are there at least 10 cats, but there’s a variety of items for cats and humans (t shirts, candles, stickers, lanyards).
I have come here many times over the last year and never had a bad experience. Cat cafes involve a large number of animals living in a single area, and with that taken into consideration, the smell is reasonable. There are two bathrooms …
We’ve visited The Black Cat Market a number of times. Such a great place to chill out with some cats. I love what they do for kitties. This black cat, Reuben, is such a sweetie.
The black cat market is incredible!! We adopted pancake and Levi together because they suddenly bonded at the cafe, and the entire staff was so kind to us and the kitties. We love our babies so much and we’re so grateful we found this place
