Cat&Alice
Kraków, Malopolskie0.1 mi / 0.2 km
Cat&Alice is a cat cafe on ul. Podwale 3 in Kraków's Old Town, beside the Planty park ring and a few minutes' walk from the Main Market Square. Opened in 2025 as a sister cafe of Cat&Alice in Wrocław, it is home to a small group of unusual breeds: hairless Sphynx cats together with curly-coated Devon Rex and Cornish Rex cats, which wander freely around a compact room furnished with hanging swing seats. There is no separate charge for the cats; visitors order from a menu with a long list of coffees, matcha and matcha latte, lemonades, cakes, ice cream and sweet or savoury waffles, and breakfast sandwiches from the morning. Coffee is also sold to take away. The cafe is open every day from 10 AM, with later closing on Fridays and Saturdays, and is usually quieter than the larger cat cafes in the city.
Kocia Kawiarnia Kociarnia Lubicz
Kraków, Malopolskie0.6 mi / 0.9 km
Kocia Kawiarnia Kociarnia Lubicz is one of two Kraków cafes run by Kociarnia, which opened Poland's first cat cafe in June 2015. This branch opened in 2017 at ul. Lubicz 1, at the eastern edge of the Old Town opposite Galeria Krakowska and a few minutes on foot from Kraków Główny station. Visitors enter through a wooden wardrobe into several rooms fitted with climbing shelves, hammocks and scratching posts, where a permanent group of up to ten resident cats roams freely among the tables. There is no entry fee and no booking: guests walk in and order coffee, tea, cat-themed drinks and homemade cakes such as apple pie and cheesecake. Children are admitted from age 7, and staff ask to see a document confirming the child's age. Cats must not be picked up or woken. The cafe is linked to Fundacja Kocia Akademia, which rescues and rehomes cats.

Visitors order coffee, shakes, ice cream and cakes such as cheesecake and apple pie, and there is no separate charge for time with the cats. Booking a table is optional but guarantees a seat. Guests are asked to read the house rules on arrival, which cover how to behave around the cats. The cafe is open every afternoon and evening, with shorter hours on Wednesdays.

Nowy Sacz, Malopolskie46 mi / 73 km
Naked Beans is a coffee shop with a Sphynx cat room on ul. Jagiellońska 17A, the pedestrian street in the centre of Nowy Sącz. It is the town's first cat cafe. A group of hairless Sphynx cats live in a cat zone behind a mesh partition, visible to passers-by through a large shop window, and guests pay a separate fee to go in and spend time with them. The cats are sociable and used to being stroked. The cafe serves speciality coffee, cakes and desserts, and also sells handmade clothes for cats and small dogs. It is open every day from midday to 6 PM.
Kocia Kawiarnia Koci Gościniec
Bytom, Silesian49 mi / 79 km
Koci Gościniec is a cat cafe and foster home in central Bytom, on ul. Dworcowa 3/20 near the Agora shopping centre. The entrance is through the courtyard beside the Kiermasz clothing shop, the first courtyard on the left when walking from Agora. Up to 20 cats have lived here at a time, all waiting for adoption; thirteen remained in October 2026. They come from the Towarzystwo Opieki nad Zwierzętami branch in Radzionków and from local vets, often after rescue interventions or the death of an owner. Guests order coffee, tea, lemonade or homemade cakes and desserts at the counter and then sit upstairs with the cats; the space is small, so booking by phone is advised. Adoption involves a questionnaire, a pre-adoption home visit and a small adoption fee, and more than 400 cats have found homes through the cafe. All income goes to the cats' care.
