I had a wonderful time at Kaffee Stark! What a sweet place to grab a seat, a warm drink on a cool…read moreday, and have an amazing conversation with a friend. The cafe is welcoming and cozy. The area around this cafe has many small/local shops to discover. I will be back to explore when the sun starts coming out! Looking forward to going back and trying a new drink! Or see it in the summer when outside seating is available.

Really cool independent café in St Pauli. The decor is great (check my photos), the staff nice, and…read morethe location is brilliant - especially in the summer. Walk past in the summer and you'll find people spilling out onto the street Highly recommended on a sunny afternoon.

Coffee is delicious and the service is fast and friendly. They make freshly squeezed orange juice…read moreand offer a variety of baked goods and sandwiches. Perfect place for a quick bite or your morning coffee.

Love the outside sitting area, great view of the warehouses. Nice relaxing and quiet area away from…read morethe traffic. Friendly service, and the food tasted good. There was an English menu which was really nice, in the service spoke English as well. Really nice area inside too, but great for it outside sit on a nice night!

We were walking around looking for somewhere for a quick snack and popped in to this cool looking…read morerestaurant. After ordering food and drinks we sat and waited, and waited, and waited. There where 5 other occupied tables and three waitresses but nothing seemed to happen. I started timing. Ten minutes after we ordered, we were told the drinks they would be with us shortly. They arrived five mins later with the food. (Quick tip: ALWAYS bring the drinks ASAP and ALWAYS before the food- that way it's more likely that a second drink will be ordered; thus making more money and maybe more tips.) The food however was good and the portions large but nothing out of this world. Cute inside. Quite highly priced but OK if you're not expecting much. Large terrace and a good place to "be seen" if thats what you're into. Wouldn't recommend too highly.

Exploring lunch options in the neighborhood, I came here because it was the highest rated place on…read moreYelp. And rightfully so. Turns out it's actually more of a breakfast place, but that's okay. The service is very friendly. (I didn't feel like I was bothering the staff with my money, as is often the case in Hamburg.) The lady behind the counter was really cool. Although breakfast was over and some items were sold out, she told me what they had available and helped me pick something. The spinach quiche sounded good. And it was! Himalaya salt and black pepper at hand, it left me wanting another. Alas! The price was a bit steep at 4.50€. However it came with a simple side salad with fresh, beautiful looking vegetables and balsamic vinaigrette. I appreciate the effort; too many places are serving premix salads nowadays. I don't usually order filter coffee (prefer cafe crema/ americano) but my pocket change was limited today and it was the cheapest option. It came served with *warmed-up* milk on the side (nice detail) and a little biscotti. It also tasted good! Ok, Filter Coffee. You get a second chance. The locals are diverse. Great people watching from the window seats. The atmosphere is nice, cozy, and not overly cute as is the trend lately. The music is also pretty great. They picked some local station that plays many classics among other current pop hits from around Europe. I can't find anything against this place. The prices are acceptable considering that quality items and friendly service seem to be primary concerns here. 5 stars earned. I'll definitely come back.

This is a lovely little local spot. Cash only. We went for breakfast and the server spoke enough…read moreEnglish to explain the whole menu to us, and was really quite lovely. The bread is nice but not warm. The flavors are subtle - nothing really screams out at you but everything is nice. I got a plate with meat, cheese and bread and my husband got a tomato and salami scramble with bread as well. They go heavy on the butter here, which I like (it's served pate style so you can use as much or as little as you like). The food is fairly light. I wasn't hungry anymore once I ate here but wasn't super full either and ended up getting a buffet for lunch later. The latte here is an absolute highlight not to be missed. The foam is just perfection. No free refills on the coffee. All in all I'm glad we went but I wasn't impressed enough to go back a second time.
