What a warming experience. We had breakfast and coffee. The atmosphere is very nice and cosy. Perfect size of the space. And their breakfast, we had a Turkish version of Shakshuka, is lovely. Made with love and attention. During our stay in Hamburg this was the place we loved most. So sorry we noticed them the day we left. Also their sweets are delicious. Very friendly lady at the counter. Visiting Hamburg? Do not skip this Gem! Oh and even the bread was heart shaped, love all around ;-)

Great small cafe in downtown Hamburg. I got an Americano which was delicious, one of the best I’ve ever had. The food looked very good although I didn’t order anything.

The brioche-rhubarb-strawberry-dish is top five one of the best things I’ve ever eaten! Super friendly and helpful staff to tourists!

Cute coffee and breakfast place on a lovey quiet street off the main drag in Saint Pauli but close to everything. Super delicious flat white. Cute space. Menemen was packed with flavour and the bread was fresh, moist and fluffy but also perfectly dense and with a chewy crispy crust. Staff were really kind and warm. Certainly one of the best cafes in Hamburg.
