Wir wollen nun an diesem historischen Platz zwischen Torwache und Weinberg gehobene Gastronomie in entspannter Tradition erlebbar machen.

There was a review here written two years ago, and one would think that that would result in a…read morechange, but I disagree. The place is awful, worst service and such a rude server. Not sure if he owned the place or not, but absolutely horrendous, and the prices were so high, but they don't card, because they expect customers to carry cash for a 20 dollar waffle? Don't go here, spend your hard earned money elsewhere!

Coming from a city that's known for its cultural diversity and hipster neighbourhoods, I was eager…read moreto pay a visit to Kassel's so-called hipster coffee shop "Rokkeberg", per recommendation by family. Easy to find, I made my way to the chain's newest outlet at Ständeplatz crossing Wilhelmsstraße on a rainy day. Upon entering I was greeted by a white-tiled bathroom-reminiscent floor, a Soundcloud playlist featuring an eclectic mix of acoustic folk, singer-songwriter and "we listened to them before they became famous" kinda artists and a team of three baristas/waiters, presumably local students. Without the typical snobbiness or flakiness you might encounter at various coffee outlets in Berlin, I placed my non-complicated order and enjoyed 400 ml of lactose-free "Ettli organic brew" cappuccino (3,60€) goodness by the window. However, this branch is rather small with 12 "people watching"-worthy seats (bar stools in pastel pink and blue) on the bottom floor and about another 15 on the first floor, which I'd avoid at any costs 'cause it might as well have been a broom closet in its former life. It lacks decoration and warmth and overall 'hipster chic'. In conclusion, come here for the coffee and not the interior.
