Pensacola’s ‘Cool-Cat’ Lounge & Coffee Shop by Madeleine Davis
S
top hissing and retract your claws, Pensacola, because our first
and only cat cafe, Coastal Cat Cafe, located at 1508 W Garden St., is officially open for business. Completely selling out of reservations on opening day, this coastal-themed cat lounge and cafe boasts a “purrrfect” cozy vibe featuring numerous cats to mingle with and a variety of tasty coffee beverages. Coastal Cat Cafe was established by local Adrienne Brynteson, who raised the initial funding for the unique business concept as a Kickstarter campaign. Not only are there sweet, purring cats and kittens to play with, but there are numerous coffee beverages and delectable treats to indulge in. The cat lounge is separated from the cafe to ensure that each cat has a safe and stress-free environment. Coastal Cat Cafe opened in partnership with Panhandle Animal Welfare Society and Pensacola Foster Kittens and showcases around 12 to 18 adoptable cats and kittens. These nonprofit organizations are dedicated to the welfare of animals and provide specific programs and resources throughout the community. Pensacola Foster Kittens specializes in rescuing and rehoming cats and also helps to organize low-cost transports to spay and neuter clinics. All proceeds from adoptions go directly to benefit these local organizations. The cat lounge has a $15 entry fee for a 45-minute play session, and reservations are encouraged as the space has a maximum capacity of 10 people. Groups of seven or more are required to reserve a private party. The cafe portion has no paid entry, and offers plenty of seating for studying or relaxing. Complimentary WiFi is available for customers at the cafe.
