Ale Cafe

A cafe only open on Saturday where you can pet different animals

Our establishment takes care of many animals, most of whom have been surrendered by their previous owners.  

We have a lot of different species ranging from cute rodents like chinchillas and guinea pigs, different types of rabbits, ducks to reptiles like turtles, lizards and snakes. 

Next to the animals’ area, we set up a nice cafe where you can relax while watching our different animals. We offer a wide range of drinks and desserts.

We hope that when you visit us, you’ll have a good time.
