I was so impressed with the warm, inviting atmosphere of Colony Cafe. Not only were the cats friendly, playful, and of course, adorable, but the staff members were also extremely kind and informative. We had such a nice time relaxing, playing with the fur babies, and watching the city from the stunning windows. The cafe has lots of places to sit and a large variety of toys to help interact with the cats. Since they are able to house so many, you'll find a variety of feline personalities from snuggly to playful and everything in between, making a visit perfect for a calming rest or some more active entertainment, depending on your mood. We found the cost to be well worth it for an hour and really appreciated the venue's mission to ease the burden of local shelters and help cats in need find forever homes. Colony cafe was sparkling clean, too. I have mild allergies and did not run into any issues. Even if you haven't been around cats much before, this would still be lots of fun. Perfect for newbies or long-term cat lovers! Also, if Licorice is there, give her a love for me! You might just find one of these babies leaves a pawprint on your heart. <3

This was a fun place to visit, the decor was entertaining, the entire first floor resembled a pinball machine floor. We did also enjoy a coffee. The only negative as to be expected on a Saturday night in Lawrenceville was the trouble parking. Neat place, five stars.

We recently took our two younger children on the behind the scenes tour. We took our 12 year old through the haunted house via RIP tickets the night before and we loved it. Our youngest isn’t quite as adventurous yet so we thought we would introduce her to the haunts behind the scenes. Scarehouse is the only local haunt for us that has this tour and it’s worth every penny. The guide “Duds” was great she was so full of information and was great with our kids. It was an informative tour that allowed us to see the make up room as well as a walk through the attraction itself. It was amazing to see the detail put into the haunts. More people should take advantage of this tour because it is definitely worth it and it gives customers a look into the dedication the staff puts into making the experience enjoyable and terrifying for its guest. We will be back next year!

We visited this a few times since it's been open. we visit with our teenager sons. It is a great place. Lots to do for teens. It is very clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. We especially like the duck pin bowling, laser tag and virtual reality. They have arcade games too. We are not sure about the food/drinks since we did not have any but do know there was food and drinks available.

We LOVE this place!! The bowling is super fun, our son is obsessed with the arcade and it’s nice having the bar!! There’s something for everyone. The staff is really friendly and helpful. We could spend all day here. It’s definitely a bit pricey but considering everything you need for a day of fun is in one building-it’s totally worth it.
