I love cats, and so when we travel, I love checking out different cat cafes. We have been to cat cafes in New York, Seattle, and other spots, and it is always fun to visit. I recently moved south and had heard about the Purr Cup Cafe, which is in Raleigh.
The cafe was easy to get to. It is not far from Dix Park or the Raleigh Farmer’s Market.
The building is small, and there is also a small parking lot aside it.
This is such a cute little place! We reserved ahead of time online, to be sure that there would be some spots open to visit the cats.
We took a few minutes to order some drinks at the cafe while we waited for our spot to open up. I forgot to take a picture of my drinks, but they had some great options like a S’mores latte. The menu is 100% vegan, and our drinks were delicious!
They had so many cute stickers, shirts, and more.
When our time slot was open, we headed into the cat room.
The room is small, but there are places to sit and play with the cats, as well as a table with coloring books.
There were about 4 cats when we visited. There was a sign on the wall that had information about each of the cats, like their name and age, as well as useful information if you are interested in adopting the cats.
We enjoyed hanging out with the cats. There were a few that wanted to sleep and not be bothered, and that was fine.

Purr Cup Cafe sounds like a fun Raleigh stop, especially with its convenient location near Dix Park and the Raleigh Farmers’ Market. I’d love to hear how it compares with the cat cafes you visited in New York and Seattle.
This sounds like a wonderful spot to visit in Raleigh. The convenient location near Dix Park and the farmers’ market makes it especially appealing for families looking for a fun local outing.
A cat cafe sounds AMAZING! Talk about total relaxation. I would love to spend an afternoon there.
Oh, I would absolutely enjoy a place like this! Being able to grab a delicious drink and then spend time relaxing and playing with the cats sounds like such a fun experience.
I adore cats but I have still never managed to go to a cat cafe! This place looks lovely – I could stay there for ages just sitting among the cats. I will have to see if there are any near me!
oh wow…The cafe is amazing…I love cats and have two that I love so much. The cafe is such an awesome idea.
I never knew such places exist. Super excited to go there now – thank you so much for such a great overview!
I love a good cat cafe! The cats here look so well taken care of, and the merch itself is really cute too.
Purr Cup Cafe looks like such a cute place to visit in Raleigh! I love that you can enjoy a coffee while spending time with the cats, and it’s even better that the cats are available for adoption. The S’mores latte sounds delicious too!
I’m a cat lover too, so we love visiting cat cafés whenever we get the chance. The cats look so sweet and friendly and I really hope they all find loving forever homes.
We always visit a cat cafe if we go to a new place. We would love to adopt a cat one day.
Ooh this cat cafe looks soo cute, I love the building it’s in! My son and I have been to a few cafes nows, in the UK – one in London and one in Nottingham and it’s always fun to hang out with cats for an hour or two.

Purr Cup Cafe sounds like a really nice stop for cat lovers, especially since the experience goes beyond simply having cats around. I like that visitors can reserve a time slot, grab a vegan drink beforehand, and then spend some relaxed time in the cat room. The information about each cat and the adoption details are a great touch too. I also appreciate that the cats are allowed to sleep or keep to themselves instead of being constantly disturbed by visitors. The small space actually sounds cozy rather than overwhelming. It would definitely be a fun place to visit while exploring Raleigh.
