Snackcat Cafe

4.3(59)✓ Google-verified

Most reviewers enjoy the cats and friendly staff. One recent-looking complaint from early 2024 describes a smelly, unclean cat area and a minimum spend. Review evidence is limited.

Mooghurt

4.5(336)✓ Google-verified

Mooghurt draws crowds for its inventive frozen yogurt, friendly owners (including Mr Sherman), and warm ambiance packed with stuffed toys. The menu ranges from Italian-style froyo to chicken chop and pasta, with staff who take time to explain dishes and make guests feel welcome. Service reliability and wait times are the friction points. One visitor waited over an hour without warning; another received spoiled ice cream with no apology or refund. Parking gets tight during lunch hours. Most return happily, but the inconsistency matters to those caught on a bad day.
