Visiting Munich - seeing…read morethis place as a breakfast choice was fun - and honestly I wasn't initially enamored as I expect something like this to be a caricature of the real thing maybe. But the menu felt unique and interesting enough to visit. I got the Apple Almond Affair - stacks of pancakes, roasted apples and almonds - interlaced with vanilla cream, whipped cream and a side of vanilla ice cream. The Palm Beach - a coconut infused chia pudding with fruit. And - the Hermosa Beach - hash browns topped with mushrooms, onions, egg, bacon and cheese. Additionally - coffee! I was very satisfied with all the flavors - as I mentioned - better than California actually offers. The apple pancake dish was decadent but not over the top intensely rich as one may expect it to be. The hash brown dish was super flavorful and pleasantly presented, with fried eggs perfectly adorning the stack. And the chia pudding was also delicious (covered in bananas - which I removed for myself but were eaten by my companion). Currents and other fruit was atop this dish - a lovely flavorful pudding. Service was outstanding, welcoming. Seating - busy morning but no real wait. Cash only on this day due to network issues but that was ok. Just a very inviting space with lovely people and uniquely outstanding food. Must visit in Munich no matter where you are from!

It's very interesting/confusing to see other Californians review this place AND say that it is authentic to their experience going to a diner back home. Our table ordered omelettes with toast, OJ, and coffee. While the latter were fine, I take issue with the main dish. Every diner I've been to back home has Heinz ketchup and perhaps a hot sauce like Tabasco or Cholula. Every other table in sight also lacked these items, which definitely made my meal less enjoyable. We need seasoning beyond salt and pepper if we are going to call this place California-inspired. Service-wise....it's Germany, not California. Leave your expectations for cheerful and attentive service back home. It ain't happening here. Lastly, cash only? Even cash only joints here tend to post a sign somewhere to alert you in case you don't know. We found ourselves scrambling due to this policy. Ambiance and decor was boring and I have definitely seen something like this in California. SKIP California bean (unless you're in a bind like we were)

Sandwiches are great, good variety in breakfast options. Bagels are more bread like, but very light. The sandwiches all have some sauce/spread, so they are flavorful and not very dry. Definitely one of the better places for good coffee in Munich. My iced coffee drink was just a little sweet, so I would just ask for less syrup next time. Coffee isn't from a machine (which seems to be common in many bakeries). Would highly recommend this cafe!

It's a great spot to sit, have a drink, people-watch and take in the beautiful surroundings. The food was really good too! We tried a couple of the flatbread-style dishes, including one with smoked salmon and greens and another with tomato, mozzarella and basil. Both were fresh, light and flavorful. We also had the goulash soup with bread, which was hearty and very good. Service was good even though the outdoor seating area was pretty busy. Overall, this was a really nice lunch stop in the middle of Munich. Good food, great atmosphere, and you really can't beat the view from the outdoor tables! Would definitely recommend sitting outside if the weather is nice.

We also got a sandwich, a dessert the staff recommended as one of their popular items, and a coffee. We took everything to go since takeaway is a little cheaper than dining in. The pretzel was soft and had a very different taste from the typical American pretzel. The sandwich was well filled with fresh ingredients, and their bread was especially good. The location is also really convenient if you're exploring the city center. The staff weren't the friendliest, but they were very busy, so it was understandable.

In Germany, you look for "bio" options. dean & david is a U.K. chain with several locations in Munich. This kiosk in the middle of the Hauptbahnhof (Central Station), has many healthy options. So after a heavy Bavarian lunch, you can end the day with a lighter and healthier dinner or visa versa. Salads (with options served warm and cold), Asian curries, sandwiches, smoothies, some bakery options and coffee and tea. My entree had fresh, crisp vegetables and was a nice amount of food. There are meal deals so you can add a side salad and/or drink to your order for a few Euro more. This is a cash only operation so you can lighten your wallet of a few Euro coins for a change of pace and a much needed green option in the home of meat & bread.

There were two people working and tried to be helpful but spoke quickly so it wasn't the easiest experience but it worked out fine.

A great place to get a quick bite and drink before your train.

"Burning the ground I break from the crowd I'm on the hunt…read moreI'm after you I smell like I sound. I'm lost and I'm found And I'm hungry like the wolf ..." When confronted with a deeply perplexing conundrum, I often resort to the wisdom offered by the great social commentators, Duran Duran. For example, when squeezing and scampering my way through Marienplatz and its throngs of tourists like a squirrel trying to cross Times Square, I sometimes catch a whiff of the edibles...and then I'm hungry. Like the wolf. A squirrel wolf, if you like. But who wants to pay €4 for a coffee and €7 for a sandwich? Get your Hände hoch if you said, "ICH NICHT!" because nor do I. Squirrel wolves often forget to go to the ATM, so we much prefer, say, €3 for a sandwich, and for that reason do I so love coming to this little place. Also, because their Bavarian accents are charming. And if you order one of their nifty salads to eat there, they will put it into a huge bowl with real utensils for you to eat at one of their standing tables. And because after 6PM, most everything is half off (excepting salads, beers, juices, and candy bars). So if your "Mouth is alive with juices like wine," I recommend you bring your hunger to the Wolf.

Cheap yummies! Love every panini they make!…read more This place has a few standard paninis that they have every day/week, but they also change a few up - so you never know what they're going to come up with! There is not one panini which is over 6 euro, so it should fit each person's budget for lunch. The sizes of the paninis depends on what kind you want, but my personal favorite is the pastrami - which they've had more often than not recently. However, the eggplant and sun dried tomato panini is super delicious as well (but they don't have it all the time). The reason I did not give this place a perfect score, was because the quality of the paninis can vary. Most of the time, the paninis are up to par, although sometimes I feel like they skimp on the fillings.

Also, I don't know of any other lunch that can equally satisfy me for under 4euro.Cheap yummies! Love every panini they make! As for the location, it is in the area of the Viktualienmarkt that is really close to the Schrannenhalle. There can be a short line, but when Molly has brought me here, I have never waited more than a few minutes. I think most people flock so some of the more popular stalls at lunch time, so don't worry about waiting half of your lunch break for a panini hahah. I can't, however, give Luiginos 5 stars because the panini isn't going to blow your mind, but it will at least leave you happy :)
