I'm a bit of a coffee fiend, and when I'm shopping in Darmstadt and need a caffeine fix, this is…read morewhere I go. I haven't found a better espresso or latte than here, and if you have achey cakey pangs, they have a nice selection of muffins and cookies etc. There's even free water in a jug on the counter. It's self-service, so no waiting around to order and then pay, and you can get a card to collect stamps and get a free coffee, you can then collect the cards to get a kg of Hochland coffee. You'll find it up the side street, by Karstadt, in the pedestrian zone. You can read a magazine or today's newspaper, there are chairs and tables outside and in winter there are blankets for your knees and patio heaters, to keep the top of your head warm. It's all very civilized.

After reading all the positive (german) reviews I decided to check out Bruno's for myself…read more Unfortunately I wasn't as pleased. If you go out by yourself you probably won't mind sitting right across the bar, and by facing it it's easy to start chatting with the owner or the waiters (unless they're already engaged in a discussion themselves). But if you're in company, it just doesn't feel that comfortable. The selection and quality is quite good thoug.

It wasn't until I visited this cafe that I gained a true appreciation for a good coffee. I normally…read moreget a coffee/latte macchiato to go and have never regretted it.

Firstly, the location can't be beat. This cafe is steps away from the train station, so if you want…read moreto grab a bite or pick up a gift before a trip, you're in luck. The cafe has a lovely patio area full of wooden tables and shade umbrellas, and staff will bring your orders to you there. The menu offers a variety of paninis, coffee drinks, and wine. I opted for a housemade lemonade, which came in a big wine glass and made me feel very cosmopolitan as I sipped on a sunny day. We wanted to order the caprese panini, as this is my companion's favorite, but it was sold out-- which goes to show how popular and delicious an item it is. We opted for a pepper and cheese focaccia, which was a great substitute. The service was good and the ambiance of outside was very nice. There's a neat wine shop attached, and we stopped in another day to pick up a couple of bottles as well.

The cake was superb, I had a hot chocolate which was really lovely and my girlfriend had a coffee which she said was really good. The price was reasonable. Of course it could be better (with an outside area during the summer maybe) but we left feeling really good afterwards.

Cafe Chaos is a really cool place to visit in Darmstadt. The decor is a mish mash of odds and ends…read more They have an extensive collection of vending machines, which is quite interesting. The staff is friendly specifically Christoph with the red bun. The menu is extensive and features diner style food. It is really cheap and tastes delicious. I definitely love the homey atmosphere. Definitely will be back. Oh and they serve breakfast all day!

Will review in English (sorry! :( my German isn't good yet)…read more I really enjoyed breakfast at this restaurant. The food was fresh and tasted great! Service staff was very friendly and attentive. The decor is also very interesting, lots to see around you - like a mix of 50s diner and Art nouveau style decor. So this is a highly recommended place if you're ever in Darmstadt. Great food, atmosphere, and service :) 4/5 but I take out one star because the menu/Speisekarte was very difficult to read. It took us so long just to figure out what to eat. Perhaps that's just part of the "café chaos" theme? Otherwise, everything about this place is great!!!
