What is Catzen Coffee?
Welcome to Minnesota’s first Specialty Coffee Shop and Cat Lounge! Catzen serves up a curated menu of specialty drinks, with local snacks and bites to eat, which can be enjoyed in our swingin’ Cat Lounge or in the coffee shop seating.
What’s the Cat Lounge, you ask? It’s our cozy room filled with soft seating and well-worn upholstered chairs, complete with books and games, and a welcoming fireplace. Surrounded by art on the wall, and with a background of jazz music, we welcome you to relax and forget the stress of the day for a time. Our 9 Catzen Cats roam, nap, and play in the Lounge. Be aware though, our cats live here permanently and are free to move between the Lounge and their basement living quarters, so you may see them or not, depending on their mood. You know how cats are.
We love our neighborhood, and we love to bring people together! Check our events calendar at the top of the page to see what upcoming classes, music or events we have going on.
our menu
Catzen’s philosophy is to lift up our fellow small business owners, as well as our neighborhood. We offer an array of delicious pastries, sandwiches, and hand pies from local businesses, as well as sandwiches made daily in-house. Feeling snackish? We have popcorn, vegan treats, and cheesecake bites all from small businesses in our area. Pair your snack with one of our unique handcrafted drinks for a lift to your day.

five star review by Thea G:
So excited to have a new cat cafe in the twin cities! I made a reservation for the living room where the cats are, which was such a cute space. Keep in mind that the cats are able to come and go from the living room as they please, so you probably will not see them all. However I really liked that set up because I’m sure the cats are much more comfortable that way. I also liked that buying a drink counts as admission. Overall a great community space to drink some coffee, play some games, and see some cats!

What a magical cafe! The service and food are terrific. The cat area is spacious and comfortable. They clearly take great care of their kitties! The biography cards of the cats are hilarious, too. They definitely took great attention to detail building this place out. Will recommend to friends/family. Thank you for having us!

What a fantastic experience Catzen Coffee provides. First off, the coffee is excellent and served with a smile. The decor is sublime…every detail well thought out. Sitting in the cozy living room with fellow patrons and the cats is like a warm hug…. a peaceful escape from a sometimes harsh reality. So grateful for this little oasis!
