It doesn’t happen often, but Los Angeles has gone through a bit of a chilly period. With a few nights a week dipping below 45 degrees, some of us Angelinos are beginning to feel like winter does really exist! We’re not complaining though – we get to layer up and have extra excuses for cuddles and coffee.
Wait, cuddles and coffee? Exactly that, and luckily our city offers a unique way to have both at the same time with some lovable furry friends.
Crumbs and Whiskers is an adorable coffee shop on Melrose tucked right in between Beverly Hills and West Hollywood. We say adorable for a reason – not only is it a fun, quaint stop, but the regulars in the shop tend to be especially cute and furry. That’s right, the coffee shop offers cuddles and play time with kittens and cats of all ages and sizes.
It may be an interesting concept, but it’s one that has a great cause behind it. Crumbs and Whiskers’ mission is simply to find homes for animals in need, and to raise money to extend their mission. Of course their furry friends in-house are available for new homes, so be prepared to fall in love and maybe find a new fur baby of your own!
The company prides itself on its “cat cafe experience” as well as their impressive statistics on cats adopted (554), cats saved from euthanasia (1,216), and the money donated to non-profit partners ($22K) since their opening. Between only two locations (their other is in Washington D.C.) they have made quite a mark!
The cafe is reservations only, so if you are planning a trip and want to stop in, head to their website to make sure you can snag a spot for some kitten cuddles, coffee, and a sweet treat or two! https://crumbsandwhiskers.com/labooking
