Crooked Tail Cat Cafe is a coffee shop in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. It is listed at 229 W 5th St, Winston-Salem, NC 27101, which places it among the local businesses of Winston-Salem that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Google also lists it under pet adoption service, which is worth knowing if you are comparing several options in the area.

Coffee in the United States is served by three kinds of places: national chains with drive-thrus and mobile ordering, independent neighborhood cafes that double as a workspace or a meeting spot, and specialty shops that roast their own beans or buy single-origin lots and brew them by pour-over, espresso or cold brew. Most open between 6 and 7 a.m. on weekdays, slightly later on weekends, and the busiest hour is the commute rush before 9. A drip coffee runs a few dollars, espresso drinks and specialty pours more, and tipping a dollar or a percentage on the card reader is customary but not required. Nearly every cafe offers free Wi-Fi, though some limit laptop seating at peak times or on weekends, and outlets are often the scarce resource.
