Lierse Aaikes Cat Café

Lierse Aaikes Kattencafé is a delightful cat cafe located at Zimmerplein 5, 2500 Lier, Belgium, offering a cozy retreat for cat lovers and coffee enthusiasts alike. Open Wednesday through Friday from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Saturday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM—closed Monday, Tuesday, and Sunday—this vegan-friendly haven charges a €3 entry fee per person (or €10 for a 5-visit card), with all proceeds supporting the care of its resident cats, including food, litter, and vet costs. Founded by an animal-loving barista who transitioned from dog grooming to pursuing her dream cafe after its previous owner’s retirement, it features a nearly fully vegan menu of house-made cakes by Feliks in Lier, coffee, tea, and brunch options like the €19 Kitty Brunch (reservation required). Home to eight permanent “catmembers” like Guess, Spooky, and Mulan, the cafe provides a calm space with toys for play, a small shop with cat-themed goods, and a “Cat Code” ensuring feline comfort—no adoptions here, just quality time with its furry residents.
