This was the most adorable and heart warming thing that I have ever read.

This dealt with mental illness in such a positive and beautiful way, with advice and friendship and this was just absolutely amazing.

I’m so thankful that I got to read this early.

5/5 ⭐️

Thank you NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Such a cute and uplifting comic! With everything that is going on right now, I needed to hear these uplifting words and phrases. It portrays a life that I wish and we could try to live in the real world.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for my copy to read and review.

I never knew about this comic series before reading this and I am in love with it. It's like a cuteness overload! The art is so cute and colorful. Every character is unique. Penguin and Bunny were my favorites. I related to Bunny the most. I have anxiety issues as well as depression. I loved that this comic could be really light and funny to really serious without being inconsiderate to people with mental illnesses. It really showed you that you didnt have to go through things alone and that someone will always be there for whether you believe it or not even on your good days. I think everyone would enjoy this comic it's such a heart felt and funny read. I will most definitely be getting me a copy whenever it comes out. I hope they continue making more of this comic.

Cat's Cafe is a lovely and uplifting collection of comics that presents different tones, situations and resolutions with a wonderful balance of sensitivity and understanding. The art style, use of colour and vast of characters are full of life and heart.

I didn't know this comic series and I'm in love with it. Cat has their own café and serves delicious coffee to the people in town. The style is adorable and each character is unique. I love how the stories can go from funny and cute to serious but in a way that never feels exploitative.
Sometimes people feel a little down and need support and the comic shows not only the good days but the bad ones as well, presenting ways to cope with mental health problems. Also, they town's people support each other and their so full of love.

Absolutely adorable and heart-felt. I enjoyed this immensely and I'm going to buy my own copy. It's jsut so good, enjoyable, and heartwarming. <3

This series of webcomics is a heartwarming take on our dependencies on coffee and how we can support each other going through our mental health struggles. The art is adorable, which adds to the heartwarming nature of the book. Each page acts as a single page comic panel, but throughout the book, there are connecting storylines with some characters. Some panels ask you to examine your own mental health as well. There is a recurring cast of animals, most of which ends up having a few panels specifically on them. Overall, this book is really cute and something that I may read once or gift to a friend.

Review to be posted on Blog/Goodreads in May 2020.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

I love comics and in these harsh times (I read this one in March when we were all stuck inside due to Corona) I could use some laughter and some fun. I spotted this book and of course had to grab it to read it. A comic about a cat with a cafe? Coffee jokes and more? Sign me up!

But this book is actually much more than just a cat with his cafe, more than customers with a very heavy coffee addiction (really, some of these animals need to lay off the coffee for a while). This is also about anxiety, friendship, setting goals for yourself and conquering them, dreams, making friends and being there for your friends, compliments, love. There is still enough coffee and cafe, but there is also plenty of that other stuff. And sure, on the one hand I loved it, but on the other hand I came here for coffee and cats. So I am a bit conflicted. Don't get me wrong I love the stuff that takes place outside of the coffee shop, but I hope it is understandable that I am also a tad sad that it isn't just about a coffeeshop owned by a cat.

We meet various animals that live in the world. We see various fun friendships begin, dreams be made (and I loved the sea star and his girlfriend), I loved that this world has such an abundance of different animals. From alpacas to armadillos to snakes and gators (who had a crush on our coffee cat), this world is never once boring. There are also various seasons and I loved seeing our animals do all sorts of things in each season.

But yeah, my feelings are still a bit over the place, I thought this book would cheer me up, give me a smile at the end, maybe some big belly laughs, but given it also has enough sad feelings and anxiety and tears... It didn't really help out. Still I had fun reading it, and I loved the art style it is really cute.

Cat's Cafe is an adorable collection filled with endearing characters and bright, fun illustrations. Cat and friends may all have their own problems to deal with, but they offer each other support along the way and teach each other some valuable lessons. No one's life is perfect, but it's better with good coffee and good friends.

Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

This was super wholesome, cute, funny, marvelous, adorable, fantastic, etc
But in all seriousness I recommend to anyone who needs to unwind to give this comic a go because for sure you won't regret. It deals with depression, anxiety and other social problems in such a wholesome way. The humor of this book is also great. Everything is perfect.
Just do it! Read it!

This was absolutely adorable 😍 Loved seeing all the different personalities and issues being worked through, and this was quick and light and fluffy. The art was super cute and was what lead me to request it, but seeing these animals struggle with loving themselves, anxiety and being good friends with lots of coffee was just what I needed
