It’s The Cat’s Meow Cafe

After you pick out a good book at Alfsen House Books, take a one minute walk to It’s The Cat’s Meow Cafe, tucked in the corner of 138 Robinson Street!

Famous for their Catpuccinos, this local coffee shop is the perfect spot to warm up, start your book, and stare at the snowfall outside the window.
