Josh KongmanySeptember 7, 2017If you want a break from the Reeperbahn, head to this spot! Drinks are fair-price and mixed well. Cakes are also delicious! Service is friendly, and seating is very cozy. Free bread after 11pm-ish- Nataly DiNovember 6, 2016Wonderful breakfast - good quality fresh ingredients, variety of food, big portions - it's a buffet (great salmon). Coffee is also pretty good. All is only for 8.5€. Minus: crowdy, no fresh or.juice.
- Kubra BasarMay 28, 2017Its very cosy, there are sofas inside where you can sit and work. You have to get you coffee your own from the bar but that's ok. Try the chocolate cake, it tastes really good! Option to sit outside!
- JoJuly 2, 2020As much Hamburg flair as it can get — visitors from completely different backgrounds, tasty bakery , friendly staff, fair prices. Not easy to get a table though.. ;-)
Julian HandApril 16, 2015Comfy coffee place just around the Reeperbahn, friendly service (self-service) not expensive. Good to hang-out on the sofas! Popular!
The best Franzbrötchen in town. Moist and delicious. Typical Hamburg cinnamon pastry. Must try if you’re visiting.

Julian SchiAugust 26, 2016Was ein geiles Frühstück! Gemütlich, klein aber trotzdem ausreichend Platz. Das Frühstück 9-14:00 € Mo-Fr für 6,50 Sa&So 8,50€, ist absolut lecker und vielfältig. Nachtisch, Kuchen und mehr. Top!

"A pretty small coffee place. Different to Gnosa they "just" serve good cake but probably the best coffee in town. hehe"

"Ok’ish place for breakfast. They were slightly confused and it took a while until we had all our food. But once we got there it was good — scrambled eggs were freshly made, croissant tasty."
