(Last visited 1/23/2023.) It's my first time in Germany and I'm in Hamburg on business! So on my first night I wandered around the section of city near the Crown Plaza to discover a bit of a nice downtown area that was further away from the REAL downtown. Lol. I was looking for some authentic German food and I certainly found it. Here's how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: This place felt very European. Makes sense since I'm deep in Europe. Lol. The lights were dim, there were random chandeliers, an awkward dining space that was set 4 feet below the rest of the restaurant near the front, just nice, cozy and a bit cramped. Lol. In the "main" dining room there was a bar of sorts and glass case containing cold wines and delicious looking desserts. Service: I can't remember the name of the gentlemen who took care of me, but he was so kind, so sweet, caring and helpful. He clearly could tell I wasn't from around there so he made sure to give me tips and tricks on navigating the area. Food: I tried the broccoli soup which is made with cream topping and served with herb bread. This wasn't like what I was used to, but it was still great! It was a lot less salty then what I've had in the past and it felt more natural. The herb bread was fine, good for sopping up soup your spoon couldn't reach. As for my entree I went with the schnitzel of course! How could I not? Here at Cafe Uhrlaub they offer the "breaded schnitzel" which is a thin piece of pork, pounded thin, breaded, seasoned then fried to perfection. It was also served with fried potatoes and a side salad. I really enjoyed the novelty of it. It's not something I would just go and order because I'm craving it, but it was great to try it in its origin! Value: CASH ONLY. Being from the U.S. and having the euro be damn-near equal to the dollar makes things "feel" just a bit cheaper here than back home. My soup was 7.90€ and my schnitzel was 16.90€. Not too bad, but not cheap either. In conclusion, I really liked this place! It was cute, felt natural, not like a tourist trap and I feel represented Germany 100%! Check this place out if you get the chance! read more

+ * Food: Just picked a couple of pies there on the go Looked good (refer to pictures), home made, a change from the famous places in the street, & guests appreciated them. * Location: Another Lange Reihe one you will tell me but wait, it has a backyard! Good to know if you want a quiet retreat from the busy street * Staff: The 4th star is because staff flirts outrageously ! Very refreshing and much appreciated ;) read more

I breakfasted here this morning. Service was friendly but not overly so. Quite attentive but maybe that was because I was sitting so close to the counter. Cakes in the display cabinet looked and smelled Devine. I might come back for one of those. Probably wouldn't try their scrambled eggs with ham again. Not horrid but not exciting either. The bits of ham were chopped up small. I can say the freshly squeezed orange juice was Devine and served in a white wine glass which was nice. The coffee was nice too. What a huge cup! Finally, lovely decor. Oh, and very gay friendly. Nice, quirky place but nothing special food wise. read more

I come in every now and then. I like the place. But my opinion of it has somewhat lessened after today. I came in with some visitors from the States--we were the first to order breakfast. That ended up being a bad thing. Our bread must have been the leftovers from the day before. The blackbread was stale, and one of the breadrolls had a big mold spore on it. We only noticed it after we had eaten most of it. Now I'm lying down with such a biting belly ache! The likes of which I only get after eating something bad. Service was what you would expect from northern Germany: "Service ist ein Fremdwort." I won't be breakfasting here again. The coffee was very good though. read more

The most interesting thing I find about this cafe is the various assortment of seating options. When you enter, it looks like a cake n' coffee standard. Venture in a bit more and it looks like a bar. Continue further and there's backyard-style outdoor seating. I had a really nice cappuccino and an okay-ish cheesecake. I prefer US-style cheesecakes (sweet and frothy) as opposed to the European style (spongy and cold), but as far as European cheesecakes go, this one wasn't half bad. I easily see myself coming back here in the near future since the atmosphere and coffee are both very nice. I'll probably try a different cake, though. read more

I have been to this cafe many times and everytime I visit my friend's in Hamburg I alway's go to Cafe Uhrlaub. This is a world class cafe in my opinion. I love it and they also have a very nice staff serving you and the food is great. I strongly recommend you to visit Cafe Uhrlaub. My german is not too good so I'm writing in english. See you guy's Janne Ersson/Sweden read more

Sit outside if the sun's out. This makes up for most of the plus points. In general a solid cafe and place for breakfast. We had three different breakfast options and all were average. Nothing spectacular but the portions were pretty good and everything seemed fresh. Service was polite but could definitely be a bit more attentive. Maybe it was because we were out front but the whole time were there (and multiple tables were taken) they came out twice or maybe max three times and we had to often wait too long. The Latte macchiattos we all had were also very weak on coffee. If you want strong coffee, you're going to have to ask for double-shots. Again, a fairly solid place but nothing to write home about. Finally, tried to pay with credit card, which was clearly marked as available out front. Supposedly CC machine was broke. Then offered cash-card and that too supposedly didn't work, until another waiter piped in that it was working....this seemed to only piss of the waitress. No idea if they are trying to avoid digital payments to avoid fees but this just always leaves such a sour taste in my mouth when eating somewhere. If you are going to offer payment options, don't try to screw around with them. read more
