The Turquoise Teapot and Cat Cafe is the first cat cafe in Santa Fe. The cafe is cat-themed and consists of separated free-access rooms and the cat lounge, which requires a payment. It offers food, including bakery items, tea, coffee, and cats. The cafe is said to be a warm and open space to unwind and rest with cats. On top of that, if you end up bonding with a cat then you are able to adopt the cat! The cafe is partnered with Feline and Friends, where you can fill out the adoption for the cats at this website. You can also view the cats here.

The cafe has two stories. The downstairs area includes the check-out counter where the barista makes the drinks and the cat lounge; the counter is located to the left, while the cat lounge is located to the right (if you keep heading straight).
