Nothing soothes the soul quite like art, a good drink, and a fuzzy companion. Snick’s Cat Cafe has them all. It's a delightful new spot to spend an hour unwinding. When you enter, there are two separate rooms: the first holds the cafe and store, and the second is where the cats are.

If you want to hang out with the feline residents, booking online in advance is recommended. The cost is $15 for a 50-minute time slot. If you visit without a reservation, getting into the cat room is not guaranteed. Luckily, there is seating in the cafe area with large windows to see what's happening on the cat side.

Snick’s also carries art, including work by local printmakers, illustrators, and painters. One print at the entrance of the cat room reminds you to wash your paws.

Before you visit, you can check out the menu online.
