Another one of those places that I only found thanks to previous 5-star reviews…read more Always on the lookout for a fantastic cup of coffee, I was walking through Duisburg and stumbled across a café with an absolutely perfect 5-star rating on Yelp... needless to say, I had to try this out! The coffeehouse is situated close to the König-Heinrich-Platz, hidden away in a small alley - I am pretty sure that I wouldn't have found it, had I not been directly looking for it. It is a small cafe with plenty of seats (indoors & outdoors), a tiny counter, its own roaster in the corner (yes, they do roast their own coffee beans!!!) and enough coffeehouse atmosphere to supply the entire city with it. It is quite obvious that the people here have a deep love for coffee - it's not just another "double-ccino-caramel-froth-something"-place, this is pure coffee made with love! And what happens when people add enough love, passion and knowledge to their product? You can taste the difference! Best café in Duisburg, if you ask me! Bottom line: * Gorgeous coffee shop in the city centre * They roast their own beans... * ...and make sure the coffee is made with love! * Pure coffee romance!!! *sigh*

I love this place. Beans are freshly roasted and people who work there are attentive and warm. It…read morewas my spot during a short visit in Duisburg.

Super friendly staff - gotta give them extra credit for that at this hour - €0.30 discount for bringing in my own (eco-friendly bamboo) cup, coconut milk AND to top it off a very yummy vegan chocolate cherry muffin! After all my 1 hour layover Turned into a nice little coffee / snack stop, therefore, #VeganVentures and #TinyTravels approved

Verdict: Ideal location for a quick Starbucks fix at Duisburg Hauptbahnhof train station, but…read morebetter order your coffee to go because it's quite dark inside. Service could be friendlier and quicker. On the upside, the coffee is excellent as always, there is free wi-fi and the couches provided are comfortable. On a Friday morning in February of 2013, I walked into this Starbucks at Duisburg Hauptbahnhof. Beside the two baristas, the shop was totally empty. Five minutes after I had ordered my drink, another employee asked me again what I had ordered, and just then started preparing my coffee. Staff in general could have been friendlier - and quicker, of course. Free wi-fi and comfortable couches brightened my mood again, but this location is still not what you would call a cozy place to hang out. Instead, you wonder why locals seem to avoid this place on a busy day! The coffee itself was excellent as always from Starbucks, and a fully stocked condiment bar was available. Another positive was the short way to the railroad platforms. But overall, this location is not the premium experience that the Starbucks brand promises.

From the owner: Die Krümelküche "In…read moreDuisburg hat ein neues veganes Café aufgemacht!" "Echt? Lass uns mal dahin gehen." Und dann? Was erwartet diese beiden namenlosen Figuren? Ein Café voller Sarah und Dennis. "Wer ist das? Sarah und Dennis?" Tja, das sind wir. Schon lange ein Paar und das ganz dicke. So dicke, dass wir entschieden, 24 Stunden am Tag zusammen zu verbringen und zusammen arbeiten zu wollen. In unserem eigenen veganen Café. Es ist zu 100% so geworden, wie wir es uns wünschten; quasi so, wie wir uns ein schönes Café vorstellen. Mit alten Möbeln und alter Deko, wie etwa einem alten Piano, ollen Radios und uralten Familienfotos in schwarz/weiß. Mit gemütlichen Sesseln und Couchen, einem schönen Holzboden, Stuck an der Decke und so weiter. Es war klar, dass wir Platten auflegen und nicht einfach nur MP3s abspielen. Wir kochen und backen alles selbst, schenken leckeren, guten und fairen Kaffee aus, von einer lokalen Duisburger Rösterei. Wir verwenden so viele Bio-Produkte wie möglich. Nicht nur Bio-Obst und Gemüse sondern auch Backzutaten, Sojamilch, Kräuter, Mehl etc. Wir haben unsere Rezepte selbst entwickelt (also Sarah hauptsächlich), backen Brot und Burgerbrötchen selbst, haben alle Saucen erarbeitet und lange verfeinert, bis alles wie aus der Krümelküche schmeckte. Und da hört es nicht auf: jeden Tag erdenken wir uns neue Leckereien für unsere Kuchenvitrine oder für die Wochenkarte.
