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.

    Love this place and their mission, plus kitties!! But seems they are always short-staffed and overwhelmed. If you’re in a rush, not the best option. Could use upgraded point of sale equipment and furniture. But food always great and love the many vegan options!

    The food at Black Cat Cafe is always fresh & delicious, thanks to the Best of the Main Line's chef Judy. The staff is friendly & efficient, even when busy. The gift area always has cute items to peruse. And the kittens & cats in the cages are always adorable....and I have to drag myself away before adopting them all. I love that the cafe supports PALS, where we adopted 2 of our cats over 20 years ago! Definitely 5 stars all around. But it's best to make a reservation, they get busy!

    On this return visit two of us had the same delicious combo, half an artichoke panini with a cup of cream of mushroom soup. The other person had a slice of quiche with an amazing strawberry salad, and we all had the excellent key lime pie for dessert. As a bonus, several cats were adopted while we were there!
