I went to Fat Cat three times and will share my experience of all three:
I didn't even have a chance to try it the first time. walked into the cafe, and all of the tables were occupied by digital nomads working on their laptops. They had a couple of big tables with just one person on it working away. This trip we went to 12 onzas just across the road to try some coffee.
Went back again and, AGAIN, all the tables were full with digital nomads. Got takeaway coffee and hung out at the park - it was nice
Third times the charm, right? No. We finally had a chance to sit at a "table" - my group of 2 friends and I were sat at the bench and stools quite uncomfortably while all the big tables were, again, filled up by one person working on a laptop. Anyway, as we were out at a public cafe (not library) my friends and I were chatting away, then this rude patron comes up and asks us if we could speak a bit more quietly as she's in a meeting.

Upon speaking to the employees to show my discomfort, 1 told me that the toaster would not heat. Upon hearing such a preposterous excuse, I spoke to the other employee, who made a deep apology to me.
About the food: the coffee was strong and good. The bagel with guacamole, really was not all that great.
All people need to be respected and be attended to, with the order in...
Read moreWhile the area is known for their coffee, this was unfortunately the worst I've tasted in the trip. My iced latte was really bitter, and the chocolate chip cookie I bought with it wasn't what I was really hoping for. I like my cookies on the softer side and this one looked thick, but didn't have the texture or flavor I was expecting. The chocolate chips were really what saved it from going in the trash. I'm sure I caught a bad brew since the place seemed packed, and with other things on the menu, there is definitely more to judge this place on than just this experience. However, with the number of other restaurants around, we ended up finding...
