The best coffee in Heidelberg. Service is always nice and friendly. Fresh sandwiches in the morning. Located in the city center. Highly recommend it

Very hipster, very friendly coffee place a short walk from Bismarckplatz. Great wifi (which is a sadly scarce thing in Germany apparently). First of all, do note they only take cash - crazy in 2016! Haven't they heard of iZettle? - so if you need to withdraw that do so at the Volksbank a few yards away. Do not attempt to do so in any of the other nearby 3 banks because they don't accept foreign cards for some ridiculous reason. I chose a vegetarian sandwich (no vegan option alas) with a really lovely herb bread. I just wish the much looked forward to first coffee of the day had been equally lovely. But no. The soy latte was just so ridiculously sweet - first I thought they had but syrup in it, but it was sweetened soy milk. Which us a no-no of course - and weak. Such a disappointment. If I would mark the cafe by its coffee from that one visit it would be a sad 1 alas. Not befitting for a place obviously very proud of their coffee standards... But the rest of my impression (despite the cash only flaw) was definitely a 4, thus I settle for 3 overall. (And I have to say I'm really surprised that there are so many 5 star reviews praising the coffee quality...) The toilet is situated at the back of the house, you use the key with a little milk jug key fob to access it. Step out on the street then turn right 3 times until you stand in front of a dictor's entrance door. Use the key and you'll find the toilet just inside to the left with a Coffee Nerd sign. Not very convenient in winter time, but better a toilet a bit off than no toilet at all. Very friendly staff. And fresh, understated interior.

Great coffee shop downtown!! Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The brew methods and options are much like those in the states. There was lots of space for visiting and working.

Latte with cheesecake. Really nice

Just coffee. If you are looking for a cup if coffee and nothing more. This is a place. The interior is very minimal; simple and modern and so is their menu. Just a few items latte, cappuccino, ... And maybe 2-3 kinds of pastry. The price is really good 3.50 for a latte and it was tasty. I just gave 4star due to limitation in the menu but otherwise it was really good

Hipster, the latest wave of "cool" to hit a rocking university town. This coffee "hangout" is friendly for those wanting a quiet place to sit, review uni work or just chill out with friends over a pot of coffee. Coffee is good however can be inconsistent with some coming out slightly cool, but overall good. They serve some locally made cakes and sandwiches however no dietary options like gluten free, lactose free or other alternatives that usually come with a Hipster joint. Service is slightly slow but the care thats taken with the coffee certainly makes up for this, also there is no table service which is so common across Germany.

Latte

Visiting from the states and staying at a hotel close by, the latte here is legit. Friendly service, delicious pastries - I love Germany but haven't had a great German pastry, stick to French in the pastry department and get their pain ai chocolat, it's buttery and flaky and delicious. The husband had a ham and cheese and the bread was delicious as well. Came here both mornings instead of the touristy haupstraße. Loved it both times.

I am visiting Heidelberg and I stopped in here because it looks good! I will give it that. It is really cozy and hip in the inside. Each room is different and decorated well. My favorite room was the upstairs one where you can look outside. Good place to do work. However the prices were high and I didn't think the coffee was that good given the price. I rate this highly because of the atmosphere

Great pour over coffee, friendly staff. A bit pricey, but great coffee flavor balances the price. This place is for real coffee nerds :)

The staff were nice and welcoming (which is unfortunately rare, premo coffee typically means too-cool hipsters serving indifference).

Wow! Definitely check this place out, well worth the trip across the bridge from Heidelberger and…read moreperfect if you are doing the Philosophers Path. A bit away from the tourist crowds, however this cafe was packed with locals and lots of university students. We popped in after the hike up and then down the path into town (great views at the top) after a blog recommendation of the city. The place is small but very cute with a bunch of small tables that can be grouped together (for 4 people), a high to for a bigger group and then some space at the bar on the side of the coffee bar. Over all it feels modern with creative art but still clean. Food ranges from breakfast to lunch. The menu is nice with 5-6 sweeter dishes, 5-6 savory dishes and then some soups and salads. There are a variety of coffee items, a bunch of tasty teas in huge glass mugs, juices and then seasonal drinks. We came for a late lunch and ordered warm drinks, the warm winter shakshuka, the fritters & the Guess Who's Back and some warm drinks! Everything was tasty and fresh. The sauce on the shakshuka was wonderful and had great flavor. The grilled cheese sandwich, Guess Who's Back, was huge, with crunchy bread and yummy caramelized onions and wasn't the typical over-gooey sandwich you usually think of. My fritters were great as a perfect lighter dish, with a side salad and smoked salmon and a great yogurt sauce to bring it together. Drinks were also good and the detox juice and fresh tea stood out. The staff was also very friendly and helpful with descriptions of the menu when you are struggling to choose. Can't say enough about this place and will be making a trip back on my next Heidelberger visit!
