Bertha's Beans Cat Cafe — Restaurant in Columbia

if you've been here before when it was papa's cat cafe, its pretty much the same besides a remodel and they did away with the hand sanitizer and taking off of shoes before entering the cat room unfortunately.

cats are still provided and up for adoption via second chance, lots of cuties in there.

cant comment on the food as i didnt get any.

for noise sensitive folks there is (at least in my visit) a back room open thats more quiet and blocks some of the noise from the main room but overall if pop music and people chatter isnt your vibe id bring earplugs to drown it out and it gets busy quick, your best bet for the most quiet time is probably either right when they open or before they close.

another review mentioned it smelling worse and i can agree, i was wearing an ASTM level 2 mask and i could still smell it, its more of a passive lots of litterboxes smell if that makes sense, like at a shelter but didnt smell like poop was left in there. im indifferent to this because its to be expected given what the place is but i only mention it for the sensory sensitive folks so.. get your best fitting mask if smells bother you, (its better in that back right room fyi).

price was 20 for an hour for two people. and 13 for 30 minutes for two.

TLDR: its a good experience, reasonable prices, do expect noise/smells to be of potential issue to...

We got a few drinks and the service was fantastic. We paid for 30 mins for 3 adults.

The moment we walked into the cat room we were immediately greeted by Archer. All the cats were very friendly and played with the feather stick toy the entire time. I wasn’t sure about picking them up but pets were given to all the cuties there.

There’s a board with all the cats info and they’re all up for adoption. Plenty of books and board games to entertain yourself. Tables and chairs were available for your belongings. There’s also another room that’s fairly quiet, you might find some cats sleeping in there.

Met some wonderful cat lovers there as well.

Overall great place to come to get your cat therapy in, adopting a cat and to support your...

I just went in for the first time since the change of owners. It smells a lot worse now since they changed the litter box situation.

They also got rid of the rule against picking up the cats. Supposedly the new rule says to only pick up a cat that wants to be held, and put the cat down if it wants to be put down. But during the hour that I was there, the staff didn't stop any of the young kids from holding cats that were squirming and meowing to be let down.

The cats were less happy and seemed more willing to scratch this time. They're not being treated as well,...
