Café Katzenzeit
Braunschweig, Niedersachsen
Café Katzenzeit is an independent cat cafe in Braunschweig's historic Magniviertel, on Am Magnitor near the Magnikirche. It opened in January 2026 in the former premises of the owner's matcha pop-up store. About six cats from various animal shelters and rescue groups live in the roughly 200-square-metre cafe and roam freely among the guests, with two and a half rooms to retreat to. The cafe's own cats are not for adoption, but the owner uses the cafe to promote adopting shelter cats from across Lower Saxony and to give advice on it. House rules ask guests not to pick up, chase or wake the cats, and treats can be bought for them. The menu offers breakfast, brunch, sandwiches, waffles, cakes, Italian coffee and matcha drinks. Opening hours have changed several times, so checking the cafe's Instagram before a visit is advisable.
