Great Catfe with a dedicated staff and important mission! It's small but welcoming, with the best coffee in town. Frabjous plays an important role in socializing cats that are looking for their furever homes. They also host a number of classes and social gatherings that welcome community involvement so be sure to check their monthly calendar. There is something for everyone at Frabjous Catfe!

We reserved 30 minutes in the cat room, and spent a nice time petting kitties and sipping our lattes. The cafe is really clean, and the staff are friendly. This was a great place to have some cat time on a Saturday afternoon. We will definitely be back.

REALLY cool cafe with a separate safe space to visit with cats that are up for adoption. I was initially hesitant to go to a “catfe” for my morning coffee but the experience & coffee here was great. You can pay by the half an hour to visit with the cats and those funds go to taking care of the cats and finding them homes. When I was there they had already placed 95 cats in their forever homes. The coffee and local bakery goods were very good as well. Go check this place out!

me and my friends have been following this business since before it opened and have gone regularly since opening week. it became such a genuine safe space for us to hang out in and unwind. we’ve met so many great people here and made wonderful memories. it’s been such an amazing experience to meet and love on all the kitties who came in trying to find their forever home, especially the ones who stayed a little longer like Pixie and Betsy <3 i’m so glad that we were able to be apart of Frabjous’s time in wake forest. we’re going to miss seeing Dawn and all the amazing baristas, hopefully we’ll be able to see you all again at another location in the future!

Such a beautiful and welcoming little gem! My sister took me there for some matcha and chai. The girls at the counter were very welcoming, took our orders and answered all of my questions (I tend to ask a lot)…. I love that they showcase artwork from local artists! I did not get to see or interact with any cats but that’s okay… I’ll be back!

My family went this weekend to surprise our kids and we had such a great time! The staff were very nice, and the drinks we got were very good. We loved going in the lounge to hang out with the cats. They were very friendly and so adorable. If we lived closer, I would want to go on a weekly basis. This place was amazing!

I was blown away with this place! From the friendly and helpful staff to the delicious drinks and cupcakes to the cats, this place definitely deserves way more than just 5 stars! As someone that rents a home and unable to have cats, this is the best place to go and get my cat fix! The cats were all super friendly especially with my 9 year old and they literally had everything you could ever need including a lint roller you can use if needed on the way out. We cannot wait to go back!

My family was visiting from out of town and we got to visit this cafe. The food and drinks were good. Kitties were adorable. Staff was helpful in keeping visitors and kitties safe and happy. I was only able to snap a couple pictures but definitely recommend this place for anyone who loves cats but can’t have one at home
