Little Lions Cat Cafe, New York

Sometimes sweet, sometimes bitter. Simple yet beautifully complex. Often bold and full of character. At Little Lions Cat Cafe, these words describe not only the tea but also the cafe's true draw: a live-in menagerie of adoptable rescue cats. In the Cat Sanctuary, one of two spaces within the cafe, guests can lounge in the company of soft (and often snoozing) cats and kittens. Reservations are encouraged to ensure some quality time with Little Lions' fuzzy fosters. Meanwhile, fresh-baked goods, such as chocolate croissants and apple danishes, complement the Stumpton roasters coffee, and high tea can also be served alongside sweet breads, cookies, and scones.
