"Purr Cup Café in downtown Raleigh is absolutely adorable! It’s such a cute café with a wonderful selection of drinks that are very affordable. The best part is getting to spend time with the sweetest little kitties—it’s such a fun and heartwarming experience. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and it’s definitely better to make a reservation ahead of time since it fills up quickly. Highly recommend this spot for cat lovers and anyone looking for a unique café experience in Raleigh! 🐾☕💛"

"The Purr Cup Cafe is one of the most meaningful spots I’ve discovered, and honestly, one of the most special places in Raleigh. This fully vegan cat café is part coffee shop, part rescue, and part community space, and it does all three beautifully. The mission is simple and powerful: drink coffee, save cats. Every visit directly supports local rescue kitties while they wait to find their forever homes, and you can truly feel that purpose the moment you walk in. The space itself is calm, cozy, and thoughtfully designed for both people and cats. The cats are clearly loved, well cared for, and given room to relax and be themselves. Spending time there feels grounding and joyful, especially knowing your presence is making a real difference, whether or not adoption is your goal. We loved the coffee AND the experience. Could not recommend visiting this spot more!"

"Love it so much here! Had an amazing time and staff are so so friendly!! Really love that it’s woman-owned and lgbtq+ owned. Makes the environment feel very safe and welcoming. Enjoyed the cute little things to buy out front, as well. I could stay here all day long! Definitely coming back often!! Wish I could adopt Calamari, but I have too many cats already. I see most reviews are complaining about reservations, but that’s literally on the cat cafes website and social medias, so it’s your own fault if you show up as a walk in and they are too busy/unable to let you see the cats, that’s why they recommended numerous times to reserve!!! You have no problem seeing the cats if you reserve!!! Come on people use your common sense!! You can’t complain a place that tells you reservations are usually needed was unable to attend to you when you decided to do a walk-in, which means you chose that risk, but want to complain about the place?! Just make the reservation and you’ll have a great time!"

"Went today to see the kitties with 3 11-year-old girls. We had a blast seeing all the personalities. Some kitties slept, some wanted to play, and some enjoyed their time in the sun by the window. Staff were so kind and helpful with questions about the cats. Love it and will be back! Also their drinks were tasty! We loved that they had oak milk."

"Amazing experience! I've been three times and it's always great. Very reasonable prices, the drinks especially are super affordable and very good. The cats are very well behaved and sweet. You can also easily access information of the cats because it's pinned to the wall, so you know all their names and ages! It's a small venue, but the limit they set feels very reasonable and it doesn't get crowded (6 people per seating). It's awesome to go with friends! Highly recommend!"
