Katzencafé Aachen

Katzencafé Aachen, located in the historic heart of Aachen, Germany, stands as a unique gem, blending the charm of a cozy cafe with the delightful company of four resident cats—Ruby, Klik, Milo, and Balu. Established by Miriam Klubertz, this vegetarian-friendly oasis offers a serene escape from the bustle of daily life, inviting guests to enjoy fair-trade coffee specialties like the signature CATuccino, fresh customizable teas, and a rotating menu of homemade delights such as warm lemon-poppyseed cake, crisp power salads, Mediterranean antipasti platters, and hearty soups—all savored in a stylishly furnished space or on a flower-decked outdoor terrace with free Wi-Fi. Open Wednesday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., the cafe provides a peaceful, cat-centric ambiance where visitors can unwind and cuddle with the felines, who have become local celebrities since the cafe’s inception over six years ago. Recognized by Aachen Tourist Service as a must-visit attraction, Katzencafé Aachen also hosts cultural events like readings and exhibitions, making it a cherished spot for cat lovers, foodies, and those seeking a moment of calm amidst the city’s rich heritage.
