Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

This was such a cute and uplifting comic compilation! It was the perfect mix of funny and inspiring, Each animal had their own distinguishable temperament which was super fun to follow over the course of the comics, I would suggest this to anybody who needs a bright spot in their day because these comics will surely provide it!

Cat's Cafe is an uplifting book of comics that center around a neighborhood cafe and the friends who visit. I loved this series of webcomics and the characters...especially penguin! What's not to love about animals and coffee...my two favorite things!

Thanks to Netgalley for allowing me to read this title early. The thoughts and opinions I share are completely my own.

I was expecting a cutesy fun book, but this just blew me away. It was so absolutely adorable, I can’t even. The drawings and character design were pretty simple, the colors even more so, and yet they complemented the story beautifully. I loved how all the character were dealing with their own lives and issues, but still strived to be better and happier every day. My favorite was probably Kiwi because of his rhymes. I laughed a lot throughout this book and I definitely recommend it if you need a pick-me-up or are just in the mood for a feel-good comic.

I've read this now it's April 2020, a terrible period of the year. This book is so precious and cute. It feels so warm in my heart, and I forgot the real life for just a second.
I wish there is merch for this,tote bags, t-shirts and plushies because I would buy everything with these adorable characters.

I dont know which character I most relate to: the anxiety bunny, the lonely snake, or the depressed opossum - but it is definitely one of them.

Super short, cute little comics akin to Sarah Scribbles or Bird Brain but with more animals and coffee. Great if you like page-a-day type books with little plot.

Cat's Cafe is such cute book, it's so wholesome and pure. The illustrations are just so cute and on point. I honestly have no words to describe this amazing book. I totally recommend it to everyone. Rating: 4/5 stars.

This combines two things I could never live without, coffee and cats. I started reading the daily Cat's Cafe comics after a friend posted one on Facebook. I was so excited to see it come out as a nice book all put together in one place. Cat's Cafe is not only funny it's pretty uplifting at times as well. The comics are relatable and often reflect things that impact us in real life.

It's very hard to decide upon one favorite character. Cat is understanding and seems to be able to see what everyone needs. Rabbit has so much hidden strength, we start off with Rabbit being so unsure and shy and as the comic progresses we see so much growth and a confidence boost.. Kiwi proves that you should never underestimate anyone, sometimes it the cutest ones you need to watch. Axel teaches not to judge. I think Penguin is just me in another form, so much energy once you add coffee. I always say coffee gives me super powers. No matter who you are, you can find at least one character like yourself. It mirrors the world and shows that everyone is a bit different and that's okay.

I'm giving this a 5/5 Star review but as Armadillo says "It's at least a six or seven out of five."

This was so wholesome and cute, and I kept smiling throughout reading it.

It's a reassuring book for anxiety and depression and feeling you're alone or not good enough, despite it's cutesy style, it helps make them all go away. Through the cat cafe owned by Cat and the help of Rabbit, they meet different animals, each one of them deals with a different type of anxiety and we see how they deal with it in these interconnected comic strips.

I'm thankful for netgalley for the digital arc, and I'd definitely read it again if I needed a pick-me-up!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
Cat's Cafe is a cute book with very adorable pictures. Each comic shows that meaningful friendships are so priceless. This is a great little book that promises to cheer the reader up.

I think this is a super-friendly comic book for children of all age groups; especially, beginners who are first starting to learn how to read. The story does a great job of hitting on some pretty difficult topics; such as depression, the feeling of loneliness, and the importance of true friendship. Throughout the book, the reader is introduced to Cat, a coffee shop owner. Cat takes a lot of pride in providing top-notch service for all the guests who look at the coffee shop as a safe haven and as the epicenter for the growth of new budding friendships. Cat hires the first employee, Rabbit, who really looks up to Cat as a mentor.

The book is broken up with many activities along the way, which not only stimulates the mind but makes things more fun and interesting for young readers. The creativity and artistic flow of the illustrations add to the overall experience and enjoyment of the story.

At first glance, this comic is a cute love story to coffee. There’s penguins and cats and otters and hyenas and snakes (all adorably drawn) that congregate in a cafe and obsess over coffee. However, if you read deeper you see a way more beautiful narrative about mental health. I was very impressed with the way the author handled things like anxiety in a sensitive and beautiful way. I’m glad that future generations will grow up hearing stories like this one: that’s it’s okay to not always be okay.

A compilation of the popular web comic where the Cat's Cafe is a safe space with sweet affirmations. I had never read any of the comics before reading this compilation. Definitely not uproariously funny, but plenty of the cartoons have positive messages presented in a colorful way with a cast of regular characters (cats, dinosaur and penguin among others) who inhabit (visit) the cafe. I imagine this would be well used with elementary school children to discuss the messages. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

This comic was absolutely what I needed right now. It was so sweet and wholesome and just absolutely fantastic. I had never heard of the webcomic before picking up this book, but now I want to share it with the world and buy the book for everyone.

Each character brought something special to the story. They were adorable, and funny and oh so relatable. I found myself connecting with many of the characters depending on the storyline. The comic ranged from being sweet and innocent, with scenes about taking cute Instagram pics of your coffee - to more serious topics like anxiety and depression. I'm having difficulty articulating just how much I resonated with and loved this comic. It was just perfect.

This book is very cute. this book looks at some mental illnesses in a positive light. centered around rabbit's coffee shop. it shows positive ways of supporting someone with mental illness in a light hearted way.

The illustrations are so adorable and cute. I can see kids being instantly drawn to this book! But I feel like the story is kind of choppy. It is very cute, but the content is lacking.

You are getting exactly what you think you are getting with this little book: an utterly adorable, sweet read for everyone, especially those who are fans of <I>Animal Crossing</I> and <I>Winnie the Pooh</i>.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

Cat’s Cafe surpassed my expectations! I abosuelty loved this entire book and the positive messages it contained. Especially with the state of the world right now and the increased anxiety people may be feeling due to Covid-19, this is exactly what we need! There were so many different pages where I related to the characters and shared relatable parts with my friends. I appreciated Matt Tarpley’s discussion of difficult topics in a quick and easily digestible manner such as how self-talk can change how we think about ourselves. I will definitely be going out to purchase a copy of Cat’s Cafe when it comes out and I can’t wait to see what Matt Tarpley does next!

This is utterly precious!! Each of the animals have thighs going on that sometimes make getting through the day harder, but they’ve got support from one another and are making steps to handle anxiety, depression, and self depreciating thoughts. This is so cute and the art is adorable, plus the way it handles different mental illness and coping strategies was so gentle to read.

4,5 stars!
So so pure and wholesome! I’ve been a fan of the webcomic for quite some time now and when I saw there is going to be a physical copy available, I rejoiced.

Cat’s Cafe is such a feel-good comic that will put a smile on your face when you’re feeling down. I loved following the adventures of all the animals, especially how Cat interacts with all their friends. The comic also touches on serious topics such as anxiety and insecurity, and I found that very well-handled.

I loved this comic and will definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a pick-me-up!

I don't think I am the targeted audience for this...but I did appreciate the mental health issues this comic touched on.
