I saw Sweet Coffee Pirates was categorized as a Breakfast & Brunch spot, and headed over for Sunday brunch. I didn't see a printed menu, which would have been nice to throw into Google Translate, so I read off the chalk board behind the counter. I was looking for food, so I skipped over the espresso and dessert. I saw two categories for food: bagels and breakfast. Alright, now what to pick... The breakfast section had two choices. Again, not knowing German, I had to take my best guess. Each was a selection of breakfast items, either a smaller or larger selection. I opted for the smaller. I paid at the counter and sat down. It's a small and well-decorated place. The room to the right is adorned with espresso and coffee equipment, both artifacts and new items for purchase. The server delivered my latte and breakfast platter to me. Upon receiving my food, I was a bit disappointed. I paid €6-something for a slice of bread, a small roll, jam, one slice of ham, one slice of cheese (I'm guessing gouda), and a wedge of brie. Not to get cheap and count pennies, but I know how much these items cost at the store. Figuring out that none of this was made on site, it was all bought and just sliced and put on to a plate, I was super disappointed. The bread came sliced already, the roll is a roll, the jam you scooped from a big jar to put into a small dish, the cheese came sliced and so did the ham. Okay, so maybe someone cut the brie, but still, that's not a lot of added value. Not even a boiled egg or something. Needless to see, I was disappointed with the breakfast platter. Despite this obvious let down, I'm giving four stars because the dessert was good. Really good. I had the brownie with walnuts and caramel. Upon first glance, it seems like a small serving for the price, but it's good. It's moist and chewy, there are caramel ribbons within the brownie as well as on top, and the walnuts are enough to keep it balanced without overwhelming. VERDICT: Come for the dessert and espresso, not for breakfast.

Tasty, fresh and cheap food!…read more The atmosphere is really nice and the bar itself has a lot of character. Its a lot of fun to sit in the "Biergarten" and have some beers with friends.

I visited with my friend Klaus-Dieter https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=20feP72XEMJ91ADQZsNRyg who took care of ordering, though I suspect that they would have understood my English and limited German if needed. Though they offer sandwiches, it was a little chilly today so a warm food was appreciated. It ended up being savory crepes for lunch and they were heavenly. Fresh hand-made crepes (you could tell these were definitely not made in a machine) stuffed with bolognaise and topped with marinara and mozzarella. Delicious! Service was excellent. The restaurant is clean and simply decorated. Very, very good. [Review 16387 overall - 192 in Germany - 1894 of 2021.]
