St. Petersburg’s cozy cat cafe

Coffee. Cats. Community.

Welcome to Alley Cat Cafe, a sunny Central Avenue hideaway where specialty coffee meets whiskers, warm pastries, local events, and adoptable feline friends.

Today’s mood

Resident cats roam freely

Settle in with a latte while our friendly cats lounge, play, supervise, and occasionally approve your pastry choice.

A softer kind of coffee shop

Your neighborhood cafe with nine lives.

Alley Cat Cafe blends a relaxed coffeehouse atmosphere with a playful cat lounge experience. Stop in for a quiet morning espresso, a weekend breakfast sandwich, a vegan treat, or an evening of poetry and trivia surrounded by curious companions.

Poetry readings, trivia nights, adoption mixers, and community gatherings keep the cafe lively after dark.
