5/5 stars
The art and the messages of this comic are amazing. It has an aesthetic which brings joy to the eyes and mind. This is a comic for all because of all the coziness it evokes. Also, coffee and chibi, colorful animals. ;) I highly recommend it if you would like a light read which brings you instant happiness and a "feel good" mood. This comic gives a lot of positive vibes and hope.
Overall, it is such a cat-tastic and perfect comic which warmed my heart with its cute art, humor, and relatable stories. <3

Comics AND cats. It's like this book was made for me! There isn't much more that gets me this excited and feeling like a child again!

This adorable comic collection by Matt Tarpley is lovely! It's the type of book you sit down with a cup of tea and a blanket and just feel good with. The illustrations are simplistic, but it only adds to the fun and nostalgia of this book. It gave me childhood cartoon vibes (but easily enjoyable by an adult audience)! The stories are sweet, short and highly amusing, leaving me giggling along the way. Honestly, it's the kind of positivity the world needs right now: funny cats.

Overall, this book is so lovely! It's silly, goofy, cute and fantastic. It's easy and quick to read, and will be enjoyed by kids and adults alike!

Four out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrew McNeels Publishing for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about Cat’s Cafe when I first picked it up, I thought there was going to be an overarching storyline but it was a few panels per story over a couple of pages. So as sceptical as I was that I would be able to connect I picked it up and started to read. This was one of the most wholesome, heartwarming comic set that I have ever read. It made me feel seen with the issues that we can face every day. It shines a light on mental health, friendship and feeling alone/lost and allows the reader to feel like it is okay and that it will pass. The amount of positivity in this book is amazing and something the world definitely needs in our current time. The coffee/caffeine humour is the icing on top of the cake and I cannot wait to purchase physical copies for all of my friends. I loved this book so much!

THIS IS THE CUTEST, MOST WHOLESOME THING I’VE EVER SEEN. I couldn’t help but smile the entire time and kept pausing to say “awwwww”. You start off just thinking it’s an adorable comic about cute animals and coffee (which it totally is) but then you see all the deeper issues that this comic covers. It handles mental health in such a great way, covering everything from anxiety to self-confidence, and everything in between. Plus all of the coffee humor is superb.

As someone who deals with really bad anxiety, Rabbit makes me feel seen. And all of the positivity is just a really nice change of pace.

I highly recommend this! 10/5 stars! I think I’m going to buy myself a copy when it comes out, it’s just that cute.

The contents of this book are as adorable as the title and cover suggested they would be! These are short form, humorous comics, 3-6 panels per page, about a cat who owns and operates a cafe and the various, eccentric animal customers he has. Light, sweet fun.

This book really took me by surprise. I went in thinking it would be a cute collection of comics, maybe a little bit cheesy, but instead I got a funny, adorable, relatable, and addicting comic that I absolutely loved! There is a pretty big cast of characters, but by adding them in slowly throughout the book you really got a good sense of each character and their personalities before another character was introduced. The stories touch on friendship, anxiety, feeling lost, and so much more. The only thing I wish from this book was that it wrapped up some of the characters troubles like the hyena's for example, but at the same time you do see character development like in the snake! Every time I went back to read more it honestly felt like going back to friends.

A collection of comics about Cat who runs a café, provides for the caffeine needs of others, but more importantly provides a safe place where everyone can be real, get emotional support, and connect with others.

I’ve been savoring my ARC of this comics collection. I could have devoured it weeks ago in one sitting, but I made myself space it out. It was such a delightful feel good read. The characters are all adorable, but it is more about the sentiments conveyed and how encouraging the book as a whole is for the reader. Yes, there are comics about the love of coffee and tea that are humorous, but there’s also sweet comics about friendship, and fantastic comics on how to get to a better spot emotionally and psychologically. The comics as a whole do a great job of showing how no one is perfect, everyone feels insecure, everyone has emotional ups and downs, and everyone needs a good friend. And each comic resolves on a positive note. The insecurity is acknowledged and the character is encouraged. The emotional characters are given space to feel whatever they are feeling, and supportive friends abound. This book is a bundle of cheerfulness and a good shot of encouragement for whatever you might be going through. Highly recommended for any age reader.

No content issues.

I received an ARC of this title from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I have seen the characters and some panels around the internet in passing, but never knew it was a full comic with a diverse cast of characters! The book was a quick read with a child-like feel, but covered a range of topics. As much as I would like to recommend this for middle-grade, I feel that it may be a bit more of a high-school level read in terms of the content. On the surface it's very cute and light hearted, but some of the characters dive into topics of depression, anxiety, and that general worry of how others are so different than us. I really enjoy how balanced it was between the topics and it was a joy to read.

100% cuteness, positivity, self-empowerment, and social support. Made we want to hug all of my friends, hug all of their friends, and treat them all to coffee. The art style is incredibly cute and I feel a bit better about the life after reading this.

This as so cute.

Thank you to the publisher for gifting me this free copy for an honest review!

I loved the artwork (Cuz when do I not?) and I thought the different stories were fun too!
I do have to say that I feel like some of the pages could have not been included because they seemed a bit unfinished in my opinion? However all the stories were very fun :D

I do like the whole idea of having a cafe. Whenever I see someone having a cafe I get reminded of my dream to start a cafe or bakery of some sort one day haha. But then again I have many other dreams xD

I liked this one a lot <3

This was so cute and wholesome! I think I smiled the entire time I was reading it! My favorite part was when you can actually solve a maze to get the penguin to his coffee. My other favorite was with the snake at a table alone(you’ll have to read to find out what I’m talking about). If that doesn’t sell you then I don’t know what will. Just read it!

Cat's Cafe is a wonderful, imaginative, wholesome comic series that definitely provides that warm and fuzzy feeling. Cat's coffee shop acts as the central location in which Cat and their friend's convene, whether for coffee, studying, or looking to socialize. Each animal character has their own charming personali, whether it's the artistic Gator, positive Armadillo, or coffee loving Penguin. Many of the comics address mental-health issues, friendship, and self-growth in an understanding manner too. This is a great book for readers and comic lovers of all ages who need a pick-me-up, some laughs, or positive reinforcement.

Sorta cute comics relating to coffee with a hefty shot of affirmations about loving one's self. There are worse ways to spend twenty minutes.

I've been a fan of Cat's Cafe since my barista friend introduced me to Tarpley's instagram a few months ago.  After having seen his adorable, uplifting, and hilarious 4-8 panel comics, I knew I had to download this from NetGalley!  And what a great decision it was, because Tarpley's comics are just adorable.  From Cat's Cafe's beginning to the friendships all the characters have made, this comic collection makes for both a creative and sweet outlook on what it means to not only be a barista, but to be a part of a community.

Love love love!

Super cute! Ever since I became obsessed with Zootopia I’ve been super into graphic novels and books about animal characters. This one was super cute and I loved all the different cats and I love the art style. Super cute and fun read!

This was just so darn cute! It's a cat's cafe and their many customers and friends. I thought this was just about animals and coffee and tea, but it's so much more. It's about helping friends through difficult times and when they are feeling anxious or sad. I thought the art was adorable.

This was the perfect pick-me-up read for me. Wholesomeness dripped from every page and I found myself smiling or giggling at some of the characters (Penguin is my favorite, naturally). Super cute and a great light-hearted read.

Cat's Cafe is based on a Webcomic, it is a bunch of short stories that all have a positive message. It is almost like the cat is a bartender and listens to all of the other animals' problems helping when they can.

The art is adorable. I love the punk axolotl. Each animal has a distinct personality which created a feeling of having an actual town with these different characters in it. My favorite interactions of the entire book were the otter and walrus.

The "everything is going to be ok" feeling of the book makes it perfect for a light read.

An extremely endearing, heartwarming, and precious book! As a barista I absolutely adored this book! There are so many messages on self love, dealing with anxiety and sadness, and learning to make friends in this book. This was absolutely perfect! I adored every page and word! I highly recommend this book for all ages because it can teach us all something and bring a smile to your face.

From NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I could gush about this for an eternity. The art style is adorable, the short comic set up makes it a quick read, some of the comics were relatable while others were funny and hot warming. This is a book I want to own in the future and reread it over and over again.
