Located at 3113 N Market St, Champaign, IL 61822, The Kitty Crib operates as a themed cafe serving Champaign in Illinois. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it.
Coffee in the United States is served by three kinds of places: national chains with drive-thrus and mobile ordering, independent neighborhood cafes that double as a workspace or a meeting spot, and specialty shops that roast their own beans or buy single-origin lots and brew them by pour-over, espresso or cold brew. Most open between 6 and 7 a.m. on weekdays, slightly later on weekends, and the busiest hour is the commute rush before 9. A drip coffee runs a few dollars, espresso drinks and specialty pours more, and tipping a dollar or a percentage on the card reader is customary but not required. Nearly every cafe offers free Wi-Fi, though some limit laptop seating at peak times or on weekends, and outlets are often the scarce resource.
The business lists hours on 4 days of the week. Typical hours are 4β7 pm. It is closed on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.

Definitely call for a reservation time to insure they have space. There were issues with the site when we visited and were lucky they werenβt busy. The cost is only $7 and is easily worth $10 or more. This is a great concept for supporting the care and adoption of cats. Enjoyed being able to relax and let the cats approach me and see their personalities. There are hot beverages included in your visit via their Keurig machines. The facility is clean and the hair/fur is well managed, however if you are sensitive to the urine/spray odor of cats, you may want to pass as the odor is very strong. Please understand my visit was on a cold day and the facility was closed up, it may open windows or whatever on nice weather days.

Really great place to read a book or get some work done while having a kitty in your lap! Most of the cats seem to get along pretty well, and the employees were all friendly and kind. Great place to support if you're out by the Champaign mall!

Highly recommend visiting the kitty crib!! The cats were so sweet and loved helping me study on my laptop. I havenβt had enough kitties in my life and this was the perfect dose of kitty love. The facilities are very clean, coffee/tea/hot chocolate station is wonderful, and the staff are very friendly. They were fantastic for a private event I planned last winter, as well.

Our team has recently spent a few hours volunteering at The Kitty Crib. We spent our time helping where we were needed and getting to know the amazing cats and incredible staff here. We cannot sing enough praises for these wonderful ladies; Kim, Donna, and Emily have created a calm and enticing atmosphere for both the customers and the cats. If you are looking for a fun new hangout with some cool cats, the Kitty Crib is definitely the place to check out.
