the concept
"a unique space bringing people and cats together"
little bean's cat cafe is a cat rescue and community space modeled after a living room. The cage-free design lets cats and people mingle together in a comfortable space.
We are a 100% volunteer run 501(c)(3) non-profit and rely on donations from people like you to keep our live-saving programs running.

our cafe is run entirely by volunteers - and you can join us! Help take care of our resident cats and meet other cat-enthusiasts!
why a cat cafe?
There are a lot of factors to consider when looking to adopt a new pet, but adoption events are stressful for cats and often don't give a good sense of what a cat will be like at home.
little bean's cat cafe seeks to provide a stress-free and relaxed environment where potential adopters can spend time and get to know their new furry friends.
Adoptable cats are introduced to the space and each other slowly, but once they are acclimated - they are free to roam the cafe with no cages or kennels - allowing them to settle in and show their best selves to potential adopters.
Coming soon to downtown San Martin!
little bean's will be opening in the corner space at the intersection of E San Martin Ave and Depot St.
Why San Martin?
little bean's founder moved to San Martin three years ago, looking to escape the suburbs of the Bay Area. San Martin offers a unique blend of small-town feels while still offering access to everything Silicon Valley has to offer. We believe in supporting our neighbors, and hope little bean's becomes an active part of San Martin's community.
