Botosani

La ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​⁠Mâțe is a rescue cat cafe in Botoșani, part of the TrioVet veterinary clinic complex on Strada I.C. Brătianu. It was opened in January 2025 by two local vets, Dănuț Bratu and Daniel Bejinariu, as a home for cats they had rescued, many of them from serious injuries or neglect. More than 100 sterilised cats live across about ten rooms, several cats to a room, and visitors move between the rooms with a drink from the snack bar. Entry depends on available space. Lint rollers and a sink for washing hands are provided. Visitors who form a bond with a cat can apply to adopt it, although many of the residents, including cats with disabilities, are long-term residents. The cafe also hosts talks on animal care. It is closed on Mondays for cleaning and to give the cats a rest.

Café ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​⁠Retro is a vintage-style cafe and bar in an ivy-covered old house in the Copou district of Iași, at the corner of Strada Lascăr Catargi and Strada Bogdan Petriceicu Hașdeu, near Building B of the Alexandru Ioan Cuza University.

The menu covers coffee, tea, cakes, cocktails and beer, and the cafe hosts acoustic concerts and workshops. There is no entry fee. Visitors' dogs are also welcome, and there is a garden courtyard and a children's room. The cafe is open every day, until late on weekends.
