Łakocie Kawiarnia

Kraków, Malopolskie · 63 mi / 102 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.

Kocia Kawiarnia Kociarnia Karmelicka is the second Kraków cafe of Kociarnia, the business behind Poland's first cat cafe, and opened in July 2023. It is on ul. Karmelicka 10, just west of the Planty park ring near the Teatr Bagatela tram stop. As at the Lubicz branch, guests step through a wardrobe door into a cosy cafe where a permanent group of up to ten resident cats, including a Maine Coon, wander between the tables and nap on shelves and laps. Entry is free, there are no reservations, and the menu has coffee, cat-themed drinks, waffles and homemade cakes. Children are welcome from age 7 with a document confirming their age. Since October 2026 it opens to walk-in guests only at weekends; on weekdays it hosts events such as painting with wine, embroidery workshops, cat behaviour talks, board game nights and cat yoga.

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.

Czestochowa, Silesian · 66 mi / 107 km

Kocia Kawiarnia Czarny Kot is the only cat cafe in Częstochowa, on ul. Kopernika 10/12 in the Śródmieście district, close to the city centre. It opened in July 2023 and doubles as a foster home for young kittens, which live in the cafe until they are adopted, alongside the resident cats. The interior has many scratching posts and toys, and the cats often sleep on chairs and tables next to guests. The owner bakes the cakes served with coffee, tea, hot chocolate and lemonade. Visitors who do not order anything pay a small entry charge instead. To keep the space calm, children are admitted only from age 13.

Lodz · 80 mi / 130 km

Herbaciarnia Kocie Oczy is a tea room with resident cats in a courtyard off ul. Piotrkowska 25, at the northern end of Łódź's main street near Plac Wolności. Open for about twelve years, it is the only place of its kind in the city and the permanent home of six female cats, who move freely between the guest room and resting places out of reach, so they can choose when to make contact. The interior resembles a grandmother's flat, full of trinkets, crocheted doilies, old furniture and cat motifs. The menu lists dozens of teas, served in house-shaped pots, plus coffee, hot chocolate, apple pie, cheesecake and cat-shaped cookies. Guests enter through a double door that staff open one at a time. The room is small, so there can be a short wait to get in. Weekend sessions for children are run with a cat behaviourist.

Bytom, Silesian · 83 mi / 134 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.
