Love cats and kittens? We have a feline you’ll enjoy Crossroads Cafe, a new spot for coffee and meeting adoptable cats. Let’s get to know the space operated by local nonprofit Crossroads Campus.

All in the de-tails

  • Crossroads Cafe is located at 1603 Buchanan St.
  • It’s open 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
  • The cafe serves 8th and Roast coffee, along with a variety of teas, ice cream flavors, and light bites — order in person or online in advance.

Try it fur yourself

Enjoy your drinks and treats while watching playful adoptable cats through a large viewing window. Of course, watching cats lounge around in the jungle-themed play room is just part of the fun — if you want to visit with the cats, book a 30-minute reservation for $6 per person.
