About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for brunch
  • Kid-friendly



The Black Cat Café is owned and run by PALS, a nonprofit animal rescue organization. Although every dime we make goes directly to the 600 homeless animals we save every year, we also know that our café succeeds because it is an awesome place to eat. Styled around the cafes of the South of France, our menu is eclectic and ever changing with many vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options in addition to our regular menu. We have won Best of the Main Line 3 times. Chef Judy Clemens puts out a breakfast, lunch and brunch that cannot be beat and all profits go to saving lives. And don’t miss our gift shop, featuring home goods and more featuring pets.

    We love the Black Cat restaurant. The food was delicious and the ability to connect with the cats was even more special. We took two precious felines home with us. There is always a crowd so best to make a reservation. Judy, the chef does an amazing job and the wait staff are all volunteers who are just so enjoyable to chat with. Aries is a real doll and a comedian to boot. Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy a meal here.

    I absolutely adore this place! It’s so cozy! There are kittens to foster or adopt there! Kitty things to buy to support the rescue. The servers are volunteers and work strictly for tips so please tip cash if you can and don’t be a cheapo! Aries was our server today and was fabulous! We got cat grass, a catnip toy and earrings to help the rescue: I can’t wait to go back-it feels good to do something good.

    At first we did have to wait around 10 minutes to be attended. Food could be a bit better, since one of our sides turned out to be cold. However, the place was very clean and neat. I adored the cat decorations of this place!

    What a cute place! And with adoptable kitties to visit ( not to hold and play with). It’s run completely by volunteers and all the proceeds go to PALS( a nonprofit pet rescue). The food isn’t fussy but really yummy. The decor is an eclectic and cute. I love their paninis. Make sure to visit and support this great cause!
