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.

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!

One of the best cafes in Darmstadt. Aimed at your average student, it's not very chic, in fact it's…read morea bit shabby, but it's friendly and the food is varied and generally of a good quality, with generous portions and at a range of prices to suit most pockets. One reason I like it is they serve the Milchkaffee Cafe au lait in a bowl, sometimes there's even a biscuit hidden under the cup. It's little things like that that I love in a cafe. One must eat is the home made waffle with fresh fruit and cream. Another must drink is the Guinness, it's the best I've had in Germany. Oh and if you're into automats there's an automat museum. Just visit the loos there and have a look. Just don't be in too much of a hurry. Speed eating is not a feature here.

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.

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.
