The loch café

The Loch Café & Games

Born and raised in Duluth, MN, Matt and Erin Glesner and have known each other their entire lives. They share a passion for helping people and had a dreamed of doing this through what is now The Loch Cafe and Games. This hybrid coffee shop/game store is meant to be a safe haven for anyone needing somewhere to be themselves, without judgment, and create a social space that gives back by letting the community un-loch their inner nerd through one of Matt and Erin’s favorite past-times: gaming.

Wired whisker cafe

Wired Whiskers

At Wired Whisker, our mission is to help find safe and loving forever homes for as many rescue cats as possible by providing a welcoming space for humans and adoptable cats to bond. We believe that cats have the power to feed the soul and heal the mind, and we want to share that magic with as many people as possible. Our space is split into two sections: the cafe and the cat lounge. The Cafe: Entry into the cafe is free, with no cats. In the cafe, you will find our order counter, plenty of seating, and restrooms similar to a regular coffee shop. Journey down the hall, and you will find the entrance to our cat lounge, along with a large picture window for viewing! The Cat Lounge: There is a nominal cost to enter the cat lounge, which helps us provide the best for our adoptable rescue kitties during their time with us. Here, you will find our cats, comfy seating, and a relaxing environment.
