KitTea

The Haight & Hayes Valley


Need some soothing tea and cuddles? Say hello, KitTea. San Francisco's cat café serves Japanese tea and feline cuteness for a good cause: all the kitties you'll meet are being socialized for adoption in partnership with cat rescue non-profit Give Me Shelter (volunteer sign-up online). Mondays are (wait for it) Mewvie nights. Yoga is Wednesdays – practice your cat pose.
