Mount Purrnon Cat Cafe and Wine Bar

Coffee, wine and cats. What more do you need?? The staff was very friendly and welcoming, highly recommend!

We came to Old Town Alexandria primarily to visit this cat cafe, and we picked the earliest time available on a weekend (11am). Since we were the first ones, we had the entire cafe and all the cats to ourselves for the first 30 minutes, and all the cats were ready to play. The kitties were super adorable and many of them came up to you looking for pets. We didn't really try any food since we had lunch plans afterwards. But overall it was a great experience, and we definitely plan on coming back here multiple times.

An absolute fun experience! From the warm welcome to the time with the cats. The dining area and cat area is very clean and well maintained. I was worried my allergies would act up but surprisingly with a mask on, I was normal. This was an experience for the kids and they had a blast...just enough to fill their desire for a cat. Everyone here is super friendly and very knowledgeable. A must return and we all had a great time. Parking is limited to paid street parking. Enjoy!

I have been to several cat cafés and this place is always my favorite!

We walked in to a welcoming staff member who checked us in for our reservation and gave us information about the cats and heads up on any cats to be more cautious with. They have food and drinks on the bottom floor. We got an Iced Chai Tea Latte and we were able to bring it with us to play with the cats upstairs.

It has a cozy vibe for cats to play, relax and roam around with people. I love how they only allow a small group of people in each time slot compared to other cat cafés. That way the cats don't get overwhelmed with so many new faces and everyone gets to interact with different cats.

My first cat cafe experience and it was amazing!! Staff was welcoming and helpful, helped us with any questions we had. Around 20 cats at the cafe when we came, all the cats were well groomed and super clean. Most of the cats were really friendly and so cute, however some can be really feisty and might hiss at you.

There is a first floor, which offers drinks and food and second where all the cats are. The cat room is really clean, there isn't a bad smell and rarely any fur. But little crowed with other guests inside.

What a fun unexpected treat! The staff here is super friendly and helpful. I wandered in on a Wednesday afternoon and it wasn't busy. I had such a relaxing great time with all the cats. They offer drinks. I was able to sip my Diet Coke while I visited with the beautiful cats. It was the highlight of my visit to Alexandria!

The superior cat cafe in the DMV! I went for my birthday and the room reminds me of a classic grandparent house- it's so cozy! the cats are diverse in age, size, and playfulness! they have a cute coffeeshop downstairs you can visit regardless of whether you play with the cats! extremely affordable given the going rate and generally just a business I feel strongly about supporting! Worth the trek to VA if you're in DC!

A cat in my lap and a glass of Prosecco--what a purrfectly heavenly way to spend an hour or two. It's clean and cozy and chill. The kind and friendly staff know the cats well and have lots of information to share about them. The cats are well-loved and well cared for. The other visitors were awesome, too. We're all there because we love cats, so the place always feels happy.

First off! I was so happy to see all the great reviews! Mount Purrnon deserves every single star!

We stopped in for Happy Meow-er today and we're greeted by a lovely young lady that explained the cat time process. We decided to go for the 30 minutes for $12 dollar option. For those that stated that those prices were a little steep, I'm here to tell you that I have spent $12 on worse things (sorry Starbucks..no hate) so up the stairs we went! The cats were healthy and very happy to have the interaction with us and the children that were playing with all of them as well.

Please do not overlook their official greeter "Colleen Robinson" she is ADORABLE! And if you got the reference in the name like we did..you rock!

Let's talk about Rachel the bartender! You could not have a more pleasant person take care of you! She was a joy!

The space is cute and super well maintained. Both the cat room and the cafe!

The wine list is solid! The snacks are amazing and we are looking forward to going to try some of the sandwiches on the really well thought out menu.

We will be going back to see Rachel..eat some awesome food and of course to see Colleen Robinson

We are in the process of relocating to VA and my daughter is here visiting. We were walking King street and on the corners are signs telling what businesses are on the side streets that come off King. She was like "MOM, OMG Cat Cafe" and I noticed the rest of the sign "and Wine bar". They had me there ;) What a fun, fabulous place if you love the kitties. They have adopted out 548 cats since opening, which is outstanding. My daughter facetimed my other cat loving daughter back at home who was equally as delighted. Check them out on social media (and maybe consider supporting this wonderful cause.
