However, a new coffee shop that is set to open in Grand Junction, Colorado, later this summer will be dedicated to our feline friends more so than, arguably, any other in town.

Cat-Friendly Coffee Shop to Open in Grand Junction, Colorado in 2025

The new business, The Downtown Cat, is slated to open up shop at 1649 Main Street in Grand Junction on August 9, 2025.

The grand opening celebration will take place on the aforementioned day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will be "filled with adoptable floofs, cozy vibes, and the kind of place you’ll want to sneak away to for a moment of peace (and whiskers)."

In addition, the cat cafe will serve as a place in which patrons can check out work from local artists and can enjoy a variety of food items in addition to coffee, all with their furry feline companions by their sides.
