Reviews of Buckminster's Cat Cafe (Coffee Shop)

Joe Reinhardt

Food and coffee are delicious, the cats are all up for adoption and I mean who doesn't like to hang out with cats and have coffee? Noone that's who. Absolutely recommend going here to anyone.

Loved it, the experience was amazing. Both if you're looking to adopt or just need some cat time and a cuppa I would 100% recommend. We got our new addition to the family there and could not be happier ❤️

Excellent eggplant and hummus panini. Excellent chai. The cats are in a totally separated area so even an allergic person can enjoy the cafe, and see the sweet fun going on. A mom and two little girls were having a fun hour with the cats while I was there. What a good idea for an outing for the family.

Love this beautiful cat cafe. The design is brilliant and the concept is perfect. Cats, food, drinks and to top it off it's run by really lovely people.

Compared to the other cat cafe in buffalo this one is tiny. Only 7 cats with only 1 a kitten. The cat room is very small. Most of the cats are friendly, but only the kitten was playful. The other place had close to 20 cats and 5 were kittens. With that many cats a lot more were likely to play and cuddle

Since we can't have cats in our home, this was the perfect spot to bring my son to get his cat "fix"! We enjoyed delicious hot chocolate and cat cookies that looked too good to eat! The owner and her colleague (I apologize that I didnt catch their names) were so welcoming to both me and my son (a man of many questions). The space was simple, bright, and very clean. We will definitely return to sample some of the unique menu items and to say hello to our new found feline friends!

Our friend turned us on to this great cafe. Cafe in the front and cats up for adoption in the rear. The cat area is completely separate so allergies would not be an issue in the cafe. Owner and staff were great, we would recommend a visit and will be back again!

I haven’t went out in a while because of COVID, but when I went here something changed, it’s quite small but the employees were next level. The menu was great, such a variety and great picks! Don’t even get me started on the kitty room. Everybody who has allergies (me) can enjoy food without constant sneezing. Only 8 bucks to get in the cat room too. Honestly if it weren’t far from where I lived, I would come everyday!

Brendyn Field

Loved this place can't have cats in my house so it was awesome getting to play with them! It's $8 an hour per person to play with the cats in the room.

Great place to study, cats are partitioned in another room but you can see them through the windows for those allergic, also they have gluten free pastries!

What an awesome spot! Its only $8 to reserve an hour time slot to play with the kitties (and possibly adopt one!) and they have an attached cafe and patio to eat & drink on! I cannot say enough good things about this place. The staff and owner are so kind and friendly and clearly love the cats! The cat room is so clean and modern and the cats seem really happy there. They even have cat toys for purchase! I'll definitely be back to play with the kitties :) I didn't try any food while we were there but loved my iced chai!

I visited for the first time today and this place is absolutely wonderful! The staff is very friendly and their food is delicious. I highly recommend the sharp cheddar and fig jam panini (the pickle potato chips are to die for, too). I visited during COVID restrictions, so I had the whole cat room to myself. They had five cats there at the time, including three playful kittens! I had so much fun interacting with the cats. It was very relaxing, especially since I didn't have to share the space. They are allowing up to five people (must be in the same party) in the cat room per booking. I recommend booking online to ensure your time slot (I paid $8.70 with tax for one hour, which is on par with other cat cafes I've visited). Walk-ins are taken, but only when available, and I think it's better to book online if you really want to visit, as it seems to be a popular spot.

I love that this cat cafe has kittens! They are very fun to play with and are much more like to interact with you compared to adult cats. At a time of our visit max amount of people that was allowed at a kitty room at a time was 5 and there were 6 kittens, so I think it’s a great ratio of a cat per person ???? This orange cutie got adopted the same day we played with him. Additionally, was pleasantly surprised how good their coffee tasted. I’d definitely come by just for coffee if I’m ever in the area.

A gem on the West side. Airy, peaceful, thoughtfully-designed cafe with some of the cutest dining companions in town. A welcome respite from the daily grind. Doesn't hurt that the food and drink are top-notch, too.

Mike Fenton

We love this place! It’s small but comfortable. We love the mission of helping shelter cats get adopted. The lattes are amazing! The staff is friendly and wonderful. Most importantly, the cats are so cute and friendly!

Hands down the best cat cafe I have ever visited after visiting many around the world. The owner is super attentive and caring and the cats could not be more playful. Guaranteed a new group of cats on every visit as the cafe also doubles as a shelter helping to save cats! Also for someone obsessed with lattes, the best latte I’ve had in all of Buffalo! A perfect destination during the pandemic too as the cat zone is like your own private area where you don’t have to be near any other patrons.

Tracy Briggs

The cafe was really nice - very clean with a handful of seating. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There's a nice private area to play with the cats.

Me and my boyfriend came here and had a great time . All the cats are amazing , the staff was so friendly and the BLT we got was great . Will be coming back to do it all over again soon ! Would recommend to everyone who loves cats !

Marci Lazerson-Rothman

Amazing experience. The kitties were so friendly, cute, and the cafe drinks were great too. If I could give this 100/5 stars I would. Definitely would go back! Also they had amazing gifts/merch to buy and take home with you.

Nick Bersani

The owner takes such incredible care of the cats, and the head barista has been experimenting with new pastries regularly to great success. Nice coffee and unique teas, complimented by lovely cats in need of a caring home. Haven't been disappointed once in my years of coming here.

Secretly the best cup of coffee in Buffalo. Brought the kids (5 & 1) who LOVED playing with the cats! Delicious small eats, and super friendly staff. A new Buffalo gem!

Was super fun playing with the kitties. Drinks were kinda pricey but it goes to a good cause so totally worth it.

Courtney Gorman

A fun place! I got a macchiato and it was delicious. The area as you walk in has the counter you order at, some tables and some restrooms. After ordering we went into the cat area, which is sectioned off with two sets of doors to keep the cats safe. Even if you're allergic to cats you could still watch them play through the glass. I'd higly recommend anyone who likes cats to come check it out ????

The oat latte I had here was so yummy! And the cats are too cute! I will definitely be back ????
