MARKICIA Kocia Kawiarnia
MARKICIA is a cat cafe on ul. Rybacka in Elbląg's Old Town, opposite St Nicholas Cathedral. Owner Marta Piankowska opened it in February 2025 in a 130-square-metre space, and it is a foster home for about ten to twelve cats waiting for adoption, mostly from the Burasek foundation in Gdynia, with others from Elbląg groups such as Koty z Działek and Stowarzyszenie DaKota. Visitors are encouraged to meet a cat several times before adopting it. Guests ring a bell and staff open the door so no cat slips out, and the cats have a separate room where they can retreat. The cafe serves coffee, tea, cakes and seasonal drinks, has board games, puzzles and books, and shows work by local artists. Children aged 8 and over can visit every day, younger children on set family days, and a reservation is advised at busy times.

Kotka Cafe is a cat cafe on ul. Ludwika Waryńskiego in the Wrzeszcz district of Gdańsk. It opened in May 2017 on the old market square in Oliwa and moved to Wrzeszcz in 2025.

The menu centres on coffee and homemade cake, with board games on hand. The cafe is for visitors aged 14 and over; children aged 10 to 14 can come with a phone reservation, and younger children only at weekend workshops run with a cat behaviourist.

Five resident cats, long-haired Siberians, live in the cafe and come up to guests and settle next to them.

Drinks carry themed names, such as a witchy matcha, alongside coffee and a short list of desserts. The cafe also hosts small events such as book evenings. It is calm and quiet, and visitors are asked to let the cats decide on contact.
