Cats & Chill
Mons, Hainaut
Cats & Chill is a Japanese-style cat cafe and coworking space on Rue de Houdain in the historic centre of Mons, near the Marché aux Herbes and the Grand-Place. It opened in April 2024 and came under new management in 2026. The ground floor is a Japanese tea bar with free entry, where teas brewed in kyusu pots, Japanese lattes, matcha and wagashi sweets are ordered from the menu and Japanese board games can be borrowed. Upstairs, a quieter floor for reading, working or resting with the cats is open for a small access fee, with unlimited tea and coffee and a library of books and manga. Six resident cats, all adopted from Hainaut rescue associations, live in the cafe permanently. Visitors are asked not to pick up, feed, chase or wake the cats and to keep their voices low upstairs. It is open from Wednesday to Sunday.
