Bunni Cafe
Hillah, Babylon
Bunni Cafe (بُنّي كافيه) is a specialty coffee shop with a cat room on 40 Street in Hillah, Babylon Governorate, behind the Ibn Sina travel agency, and calls itself the first cat cafe in Babylon. It was open by late January 2026. Eight cats live in the cat room, among them two Scottish Folds, a Himalayan, Persians, a tortoiseshell and a tabby shorthair, and the cafe says some of them can be adopted. In October 2026 entry to the cat room cost IQD 2,000 per person and a portion of cat treats another IQD 2,000; the cats may only be fed the cafe's treats. Visitors sanitize their hands first, let the cats come to them, keep their voices down and leave sleeping cats alone; children must be supervised. The coffee bar serves espresso drinks, filter coffee, matcha, smoothies, milkshakes, pastries and savory pies, with lattes at IQD 4,500. There is also a quiet study room, a seating area away from the cats for people with allergies, and an art gallery whose works are for sale.
